As you can tell, I turned the Z-Tune into a bayside blue replica of my car, the Beast. And why not? Nicole & I really miss the beast, and I guess this reflects it.

Ps, there are a few tiny scratches on the windscreen, anyone got tips to remove the scratches?? Thanks!

I saw somewhere you can buy Nismo Decals for the R34. Check eBay I think someone is selling it there.

Haha. Check this upgrade. Got stripes that looks like russ real car's stripes.
