Looks a great start too a new project. Also, doesn't the tail lights come off of the skyline? I would check but my two skylines are in a box & I don't feel like gettting them out.

@ pinsk17: Haha, thanks, as of right now I just need to get the primer and paint. Won't hesitate to keep this posted for you guys.
BTW, I updated my first post. All updates will be in there. I thought of a method using "SPOILERS" to hide pictures so you guys won't have to get annoyed of scrolling up and down like I do. Hope you guys like it. I'll being doing updates using "SPOILERS" edited to my first post. For ex. "Spoiler for UPDATE 1 (? pictures)" and so on.

R34's usually have that Flat black front lip. Maybe you should find some flat black paint and go over the lip.
Example: See the bottom of the air dam there?

Hey Kaze, I've actually seen some that don't have that lip part painted, but most have it painted. Not sure if they're different between the years but the one in Fast and Furious (the new one) didn't have that lip painted. And heres another but the lip is partially painted. but adding a lip on the red car would look very nice EDIT: whoa! this pic is huge, i'll resized it real quick with photobucket in a min lol

@ Kaze&White Charisma: It was black. I just forgot to mask it up. LOL. I have a bottle of testors paint I used for the wheels, they may work.
@ Bananabrain: Thanks! @ FloydfanYodaman: It hasn't failed me yet. LOL. Poster putty ftw. I'm thinking of building my own Skyline engine from pictures I'll search for on Google or something.. with, I guess, putty or something. Let me know what'll be good since it'll probably only fit the upper half. LOL. And doing the hood, hinge in the front. That gives me 3 things to add on. 1. Front lip; 2. Engine; 3. Hood; Lastly, I'd be happy to hear some more ideas!

I think you can find a skyline motor in a model kit, not sure witch one but there are a few members on here who have done that, I would check ebay, might be able to snag yourself a Skyline motor.

@ Bananabrain: Yeahh, I was wanting to find just the engine alone though. I don't mind making my own custom built Skyline engine, it'll add extra unique-ness to her. :] Like that video "Is your project a project?".
Any ideas on what to use would be great. I already have red paint for the valve cover and black for whatever else. I want it to look something like this:

@ Bananabrain: Styrene eh? I'll look into that. ;D
@ xmodsNSX94: I have a thread: http://xmodsource.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19420 ; That has a link for the US states though. I used Adobe Photoshop to resize with the view on actual pixels. And I customized the plate on my Skyline searching "Custom Japanese License Plates" on Google. LOL. Oh yeah, you can't save the picture of the Japanese plate you make, so "Prt Sc" it, paste into Adobe or Paint. "Prt Sc" is the button between "Num Lk" and "Insert". I got the lip done for you guys, so pretty. Added to updates.

Yea, is plastic sheets that come in different thicknesses & you can use them to cut & stack & etc...to build your motor. Because other members on here have used that too build their own motor. Also I think there is a thread on here or maybe its on XMF? But it tells you what thickness of that plastic is best too use for xmods.
Also the black lip looks really good. EDIT: here is the link: http://www.xmodsforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=10019 May come in useful for what your doing. Hope it helps.
