Not getting old mate!

Missis wants a nice car with a big turbo why? Because they look cool! And I doubt turning tyres at speed is ever going to be a shared fetish between us! So until then she can have big turbos that do sweet f**k all because once she goes back to driving a Hyundai ill up the wick and have some fun!

When I was younger I lthought hot chicks, cleavage, short skirts, expensive cars looked cool.....not sure that looking at turbos had the same effect but each to their own.

Lith has come up with something that will fit the bill.

Lol I gotta say I have the same thought as wolverine. I find this pretty funny and weird. Its like saying saying you and your GF share a fetish for under body rust protection coating, and you want your missuses car to look like it has it but not the real one done right, just the look of it, so what super cheap auto spray cans will replicate the look. That way, when you show up for a wheel allgnment the mechanic is impressed.

Turbos are under the bonnet, so anyone seriously wanting to spend the time to look under the bonnet would have even basic engine knowledge, and when they see its a bone stock engine with a huge compressor housing turbo, it kind of defeats the purpose and is no longer cool, no?

Anyway if thats what does it for you, go for it. I understand the feeling of finding it fun to drive a mostly stock car with a big laggy turbo just for the "feel" of it, but I haven't seen somebody purposely set out to do it. Its ussualy more along the lines of *facepalm what have they done do this car lol.

+1 I think a nice gt30/gt35 with a big 4inch cover ( chromed up) and sitting high on a 6boost manifold would be impressive enough, it could be set on 6psi to be tame enough for the GF and 20psi for the "nothing, nothing, wait, any sec now, hmm, wow shit!!!!!"

add a big 4inch intake and dump and it looks like the business :D

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
