This is what my Zed could look like.

Good for you, but it looks like crap... and you wouldnt want to change its design because that would be posing.

A basic twin turbo setup is not going to cut it and I don't believe the VQ35 should even be used. If that build can hold its own against the other super cars once completed then good job, but if this is being done just for looks then its gay as fvck...

This Ferrari came with 150hp, you would call this gay as ****? or is there a design timeline in your philosophy?

Cool concept, but...why?

The point is your cars have generic designing compared to a good looking kit car, like a Murcielago.

That would make for 3-4 times the cost.

Over the years there have been people like you who have followed their dreams and built their own exotics and no one would call them posers.

Interesting car kit you chose there, Im betting something like that has more poon potential, with breaking the ice and picking up women, then your common Nissan, ie g35.

guys you don't know this dude the OP, but he's a local legend everyone here in Vancouver knows him as a whackjob for his constant ideas of dreaming up **** like this.... it's a long story, but to make it short here is his main project... a ****ing paper mache 300zx kit to make it look like an exotic, that alone says enough...

dude literally tried convincing us on a local thread paper mache would work

What, it didnt work? I did this years back but put it on hold to make a CNC and take the kit to another level.

The g35, like the z350 is bloated compared to the z32 and other slicker models. I wouldnt call it the best donor either.


The guy on that other website has a lot of time on his hands to chop up a G35 like that without even knowing what he wants to end up with!
Got a question for Arashi, what software are you using to do those designs? It doesn't look like that software does a good job of rendering, the designs look all chopped up,
I use a combination of programs but basically Sketchup. The models look choppy because first I reduce the resolution so that I can manipulate it fast when designing and also because I use multiple car designs/panels and fuse them to create what I desire.


almost like paper mache designs! That guy on the other website actually did a pretty good job with that rear end design he threw up there.
If you can influence that builder, then try to go with something more modern, with some nice curves, instead of something that looks squarish and outdated, that's my suggestion.

In my last post I made some suggestions, but I guess he has a set design and method of making the body so from here on I'll be mostly spectating.

I'm not going to give him a hard time with the paper mache thing, he could have just been using that to make the shape for some parts. If it held up long enough for him to lay the fiberglass, then hey, he would have gotten his parts done. I've seen people use aluminum foil and cardboard to make some parts, some just use tape. It's not like he was just going to drive around in a paper mache car, at least I hope not!! :icon38:

ChinkyChoy 08-20-2012 04:13 PM

Of course there's a timeline, otherwise the G35 can be considered a supercar if compared to a Model-T.....

Oh, and I'm fairly certain that Ferrari can still outperform a G35.

I think from an engineering standpoint you have an interesting idea, just like a kit car, but the problem is the amount of money needed to change the G into an exotic, plus being ridiculed at car shows is not worth it. I don't think it is a good idea to post replica lambos to show how "great" they look.. think about it, once these replica lambos get their *** handed to them by simple turbo civics or srt4s, you will be the laughing stock of your town.

You have talent, use it for actual exotics, or high end cars, like the GTR, or amg's, or corvettes.. and when you got the money, make your own kit car. The G is ill equipped for this. It is heavy, hard to tune, and costs a ton to add FI.

Serious. You can't objectively having never seen it on an r8 say it's bad. I've seen worse trust me.

For a "generic" design, my car gets an awful lot of compliments.

And this is exactly how the conversation would go:

-"Dude...that's a nice Murcielago."
"Thanks."
-"Is it fast?"
"Well, yeah."
-"Can I see the engine?"
"Erm...I don't think so."
-"Well why not? Come on, let me look."
-"Wait...why are there only four cylinders?"
-"Dude...what kind of joke is this?"

Seriously. Trying to make your car something it's not is just stupid...

This. Just because a car only has 130HP doesn't make it slow. A Smart car with 138HP Suzuki motor swap will demolish a lot of things on the highway.

I don't think the exotic community would exactly smile upon the idea of a dude strapping a Ferrari up with paper mache and aluminum foil body kits...

TORETTO 08-21-2012 02:48 AM

the only concept worth anything that actually came out of this thread was the active weight reduction thing.

and you'd need paper mache for that.

when building an SLC, what am I changing? I'm building the car with the chassis and body that I'm given. Who said anything about changing up the SLC design and adding paper mache to the SLC kit to become a poser?

trollolollolol

And the SLC looks like crap? It looks like a damn street legal LMP1 car.

So you're saying this


is better looking than this

Just to be safe and clear things up since this a pretty old picture of my car, I DID NOT DO THIS TO MY CAR, or even do this photoshop.

TORETTO 08-21-2012 02:58 AM

yeah i recognize that picture :bowrofl:

you have the teal g35 now right.
