Wish I knew how to take pictures like that ^

Pretty easy, All you need is a rig and a bit of skill on PS!

That skyline is win.

I thought it was literally the car being pushed slowly with a long shutter setting on the camera, but that would be too bright! It's all photoshop?

It's half photoshop (to remove the rig) and half as you describe.

 

[BioHzrd]

Oh right! Jesus that looks complicated, final product is awesome though.

 

[Christopher]

dont even know what that is but its the best car in this thread!

isnt it like an old silvia of some sort?

Old Skyline.

I did a run-down of them about a hundred pages back. Here you go.

Old Skool update time.

A quick run-down, Skylines.

C10 Hakosuka

C110 Kenmeri

C210 Japan

R30 pre-facelift

R30 post-facelift Tekamen

R31

Personally, out of them all, I'd have the Hako. It just looks 'right' IMO.

It's a shame that if you want a genuine KPGC10 GT-R, you're looking at the thick end of 997 Turbo money. You can pick up loads of replicas based on the "regular" KGC10 GT though, for reasonable money, ie £40-£50k. Mint cars though, so much cool factor.

The Kenmari's and Hako's are favourites for Boso too, huge external oil coolers, upswept pipes, big chin spoilers etc. I think they look cool, but not everyone's cuppa. lol.

The R30/31 is the ugly duckling IMO. But they can be made to look pretty brutal... I think that's the charm. I'd still like one for the rarity though. lol

Mint.

 

[Christopher]

In fact, there's a few traders on PistonHeads, if you're feeling flush, and a new GT-R's a bit common for you.

Good updates, Skyline in that last pic is p**n.

More needed.

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, that R32's perfect.

Gunmetal, too. The best colour.

I'll find some more pictures of it.

I'm not surprised this sold quickly.
