Dean.B Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) I think it will too mate. It does seem to be the main thing at the minute with rocket bunnys kits, so will be good to make yours a bit different and stand out ðŸ‘🻠😂 Just got to think about the end results, even if it does seem like a job you wish you hadn't started haha Edited March 15, 2017 by Dean.B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valy Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 yup,this is where I drew some inspiration: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/112302-this-is-awesomeimo/page__hl__%2Brocket+%2Bbunny but there will be a few twists,so hopefully unique in a way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean.B Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) That looks amazing 😠So he has smoothed all the bolts and that in too. Always good being a bit different. Edited March 15, 2017 by Dean.B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopedmark Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 The yanks mostly go for the proper way to do RB by smoothing out (doing it properly) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think it does look better than bolt on but it's just going to crack. There's no way getting around it as the two different materials are going to move different so it cracks.

14N Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Mate I love and totally admire what you're doing and have achieved, but what's the story with those wheel offsets?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINKJ Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Mate I love and totally admire what you're doing and have achieved, but what's the story with those wheel offsets?? mad camber I assume? when appropriate for the project.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Kay Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Please no crazy camber! Such a crap fad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valy Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Ian as you can see the rear ones are spot on but yes the fronts should have probably been perhaps 11j rather then 12j but I am thinking a bit of camber might change it ,otherwise I will change the lip for a smaller size at some later date (the joys of having 3 piece wheels ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valy Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 long due an update so pushed hard to get some time and fit the air lift suspension and it is finally installed out with the old suspension and in with the new,I got to admit I got a soft spot for shiny car parts and started at 75 psi and after lowered it to 25psi (guess I have made the right choice in the end to get 12j wheels on the front as it fits like a glove ) excuse the dirty car ,it's been sitting for 10 days in my workshop will treat her to a wash tomorrow and then start the last 2 steps,first continue to blend the kit and after will get the colour on... hope no more delays as Japfest is upon us 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a glimpse of this and thought it was this one so will be nice to see how both turn out, Smoothed is much nicer i reckon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valy Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) in case you are wondering what is going on with my build ....well things are still moving ignoring the fugly black base dip in the below pics,I am trying to blend the kit in...which for me is by far the most dirty and annoying job ever but has to be done... so here working on one side of the car,I am using 3 filler types ,some p40 bridging compound,after some standard upol filler and later a upol top filler for a fine surface still a bit to do tomorrow but hopefully one side will be complete Edited April 7, 2017 by valy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
