When I got this decal from Shunko models, I thought it can apply straight on any GT-R (R35). But getting a closely studied on it, OOPs!!! then I start to search for the detail on the bodykit... and found quite alot of the test version (black and white) By using those photos, I search for more...test and matched the wheels, spokes on the rim, finding the more closest rim set. Is not easy, cause R35 GTR using a 20inch wheels, and if is FIA GT, the wheel should be 1 size smaller, a 19inch. But in market there wasn't any 19inch track tyres... So I only able to use street tyres...haiz!
The bodykit is completely different from the stock GT-R, not forgetting the GT race interior...alot of work to be done if I need to use a Tamiya kit to convert to race spec. On the web, there wasn't much bigger picture showing interior...so I will use some idea from Super GT GT-R spec photo as my reference, also some FIA GT (Lamborghini RGT or Ferrari GT) car interior for reference.
I had not bought any wires yet, as I do not have any idea how it's going to be... I only got these so far, hope is good enough to get starting the build.
Will be using some old left over Sakatsu toggle switch, push button, computer wire connector, air jack valve, photo-etch parts for Super GT500 R35, and also photo-etch on the road version, open door conversion (since the open door is mend for the road version, but I will use that on the GT, slight modify will be needed. As for the bodykit, I will build myself...I'm using a Tamiya R35 version and not Fujimi because the GT photo-etch and open door conversion set are for Tamiya not Fujimi...
There will not be any progress these few months...is reserved for next year project. Another project will drained alot of my 'mojo' up... @_@
