This is great my only complaint is that this just makes those gaps in the hood even worse and the hood feels too tall. I have no clue how to fix them myself so props for trying.
@@bengibson6710 I was thinking sarcasm too but the brick separator is fine for most things. Lego also includes a minifigure crowbar piece sometimes to help remove things that a separator can't reach
the cab is too large. it looks more like a sedan than a coupe. you think you could make the top shorter and have the back windshield at a steeper angle like the real car?
@@Miggy738 I know what you mean. Ever since I smoothed it out I've kept trying to get in it to take me to work. I feel like such a fool when I remember again that it's just Lego 😯
I have seen a ton of moc vids of this skyline but in every one of them it turns into a muscle car The problem with this is that the car turns from 8 studs to 7 on the hood part bcuz of the 3 stripes so it becomes harder to change the fundamentals of it and most ppl just add flat pieces on top of the hood but imo the best way to fix the car is either to saw off the studs (lol) or cover the entire hood with a single large flat piece and use stickers to replace the blue stripes
I can’t find the corner pieces for the hood in my collection. Where should I buy them? I looked on the pick a brick at my Lego store and online and I dandy find them and bricklink is way to confusing.
Incredible. Your work has refined the overall piece, and it looks spectacular. Impressive. I would also respectfully suggest Using 4 individual lego pieces that are smooth vertical bars about 4 studs long and they are a dark blue translusent colour. The ones used on the lego city police car that represent the blue light sirens. I would use those pieces and place them underneath the car where the 8 studs are running along both sides of the car between the wheels. I would place them there to replicate the dark neon blue light that emanates from underneath the car and can be seen from the sides in the movie on the real car.
It looked great in the thumbnail but I don't think I'd be happy with this as the final version. I still think the studded official version doesn't look great but I feel like the gaps in this would bother me more
This is a good mod, although you're sacrificing accuracy in some places for accuracy in others. Im just gonna wait for lego to release the newest speed champions fender (1 stud thinner, would allow plates on top) in light grey
What you should do, is in description....list the parts, their number/description and their EXACT ID number...be much easier for those that wish to replicate this process. Thanks for this video, Ill be doing this to mine as well.
I'm waiting new wheel arch from pagani utopia to make a proper mod. Your mod Is better than lego version but i think Is a little bulky on the front. Anyway, good job!
Nice video. I like your creativity to make the car better. Continue with your ideas! :) However i do not like that sad music in a lego video. I turned off the sound. XD I think that the gaps that appear in the hood makes the over-all impression for me worse than just keeping the original design. Your design has pros and cons, you know :p However, this is just my opinion and it is all a matter of thaste. Nothing is wrong or rightwhen dealing with creativity, i'd say. :)
Smoother? Yes. But you also made it look nothing like a skyline. If you don't think the designers thought about tiling off the hood, you didn't think it through. If anything this video should be called "how to make the skyline look like a mustang".

Guess this now makes it preference of smooth or less gapage
@@cristianojeda2418 not so much anymore I've seen a lot of MOCS now that smooth it out and reduce the gaps
All I want is the lights to be covered
For removing parts, there are brick seperators! rhey either come with a big set or at your "local" lego store for around 3 euro
Fingernails>
This set did not actually come with a brick separator. Thankfully I had 3 extras 😂
I'm thinking sarcasm, however, the lego brick separators are not exactly the most helpful tool, I prefer a tiny screwdriver and pliers myself.
@@bengibson6710 I was thinking sarcasm too but the brick separator is fine for most things. Lego also includes a minifigure crowbar piece sometimes to help remove things that a separator can't reach
@Joe Victor hmmmmm I don't have the crowbar, or maybe I do in my box of minifigure spares.

They're making all the Speed Champions 2 seater now it seems.
Bro, I'm not saying it isn't look cleaner, but that hood looks like a muscle car one
Ikr
The exposed studs really bothered me on this kit. I love what you did
Awesome, thanks 😀
I didn’t mind because it reminds you it’s Lego at the end of the day, and it keeps the authenticity of it imo.
@@Miggy738 I know what you mean. Ever since I smoothed it out I've kept trying to get in it to take me to work. I feel like such a fool when I remember again that it's just Lego 😯
I dig the way the set came with stock, this mod kind of makes the car bulky on the spoiler and hood, which does not apply to the real car.
You're not wrong 🙌
Just bought all the pieces on bricklink including what Clinton in the comments recommended. Cant wait to build it!
Good old Clinton. Enjoy 😁🙌

Pick a brick from Lego is terrible. Bricklink is your best resource - search the Parr number, not name 👌
@@_let_them_fly_ what is the parr number?
@@149Dragonite all the part numbers are in the video 👍
bro u really did it better than Lego! When i will buy it, i fix it like u did. Thanks!
What’s with the sad music??
Really good build it looks great 😊
It was free to use 😳
Lego needs to hire some MOC people like you to review sets and make needed adjustments before the final project.
They couldn't afford me 🤣
Haven't built mine yet but this is what will be happening thank!
looks amazing, this is how the set should have been from the start.
Where do you get these extra pieces though??
space the doors out 1 tile for cleaner sides, dual exhaust.
Oh this became old news months ago 😅
Looks good but the mods in the stripe hood dont seem necessary.
I absolutely agree 😀
They got these orange clipper things apparently they’re supposed to help remove parts or does it not work? Haven’t tried yet
Someone once called them piece pullers - I liked that name.
I can't find one of these anywhere! Did all the scalpers in the u.s. get them
If you'd written this a month ago, I'd have yes but I think perhaps you're just not looking hard enough now 😀
Incredible.

Now the hood is too high. And there are huge gaps in it. It was better with studs. But that's just my pinion.

Where do you get that part?
Bricklink 👍
I added a 1x8 tile for the side skirt
Thank you so much! This helped a lot!
You can get all the parts from just buying another one, right
No, they have to be purchased from a site like bricklink.com
Bro, ever heard of the Brick Seperator?
Check out my latest short 🙌
where did you buy the new pieces ?
many of those pieces are not on the lego website
Bricklink is much more reliable than lego.com 👍
Nice work
Thanks 👌
Both Lego and Mega make brick separator tools that come in their big sets. The Mega tool is more versatile, accurate and easier to use.
Check out my brick Separator video 👍

Love everything about this but I do think the hood above the lights is a little too rounded on this, takes away it’s iconic boxy shape
Ou avoir les pieces manquantes s’il vous plaît ?
I would personally try to make the headlights smaller because they look too big in my opinion
0:09 Where do I get these pieces though???
Bricklink.com is my favoured place
@@_let_them_fly_ can you give the link for the front fenders pieces ?
So those parts come in the set or you have to get them from the store or something
No, unfortunately you have to source the additional parts separately
@@_let_them_fly_ where can source them from?
@@mgacula Bricklink will be the best place 👍
What’s the names of the parts ?
@@davidbazan1457 all the official part numbers are shown in the video 👍
2:29 you mean a brick separator?
Check out my video on the history of the Lego Brick Separator 👌
Great job!
2:31 theres a tool for pieces removal already
If you're wondering how many there's been, check out my Brick Separator video 💪
where can I buy these pieces without buying hundreds?
Bricklink 👍
I'm waiting new wheel arch from pagani utopia to make a proper mod.
Your mod Is better than lego version but i think Is a little bulky on the front.
Anyway, good job!
The pagani utopia is a darker grey, so you will have to see if lego puts this piece on their pick a brick service in different colours
@@joesjourney145 yep, i was wrong...
Utopia Is dark bluish grey.
@@paologalbiati3782 we all make mistakes sometimes 😊
He made that look even wors
Don't hold back - tell me what you really think 🤣

I'd probably just add the gray tiles and leave the blue stripes as is.
That would definitely work too 👍
@@_let_them_fly_ Thank you for the idea. Good vid. ☺
Ok but how do i get the extra parts lol
Type the part numbers into bricklink 🙌
The whole point was avoiding the "fat" hood. You certainly "fixed" that.
Amazing, you should work for Lego!
This makes the car look goofy
Totally 👌
I think everything does look better, except for the center hood part. Looks like a muscle car's hood imo. Not hating though, still looks good.
They do have things that help with separating blocks lol
Check out my video on the history of the Brick Separator 👍
Anyway to modify those ugly wheels?
Swap them for the Ferrari ones?
I really can’t understand why lego didn’t fixed it. That’s very nice and easy way!
Glad you liked it 🙌
Wow , that’s perfect! Why couldn’t stupid Lego do this in the first place?
Because it looks nothing like a skyline after you do that.
I do think it looks better but the official set still looks nothing like an r34, it has the rear end from an r32 and the front is from an r33.
Looks better
Youve just made it look bloated on the front...
Glad you like it, thanks 😊
Nothing wrong with the original build
I personally loved it 🙌
Why does everyone like to lift the bonnet up?
I'd put it down to the broken window effect 👌
@@_let_them_fly_ ok
You have got to be joking about the brick separator pocket knife
Check our my other videos and come back to me 😁🙌

Fun fact - it looked nothing like a Skyline before either 😯🤣
@@_let_them_fly_ actually they did a fairly decent job with what they had to work with. Much better than some of the other speed sets out there
@@slickshewz just because something is better than terrible, doesn't make it good (or even fairly decent 😯) 🙌
@@_let_them_fly_ except in this case, it in fact is fairly decent. It appears you thought so as well, as evidenced by you voting with your wallet

Just a little joke 🙈
ruclips.net/user/shortsIjRGi7x2QI0?feature=share
GEEZZ, that hood is way too fat and tall plus there are 2 large gaps at both sides of the hood.
Oh absolutely 🤣
Now doesnt that look much cleaner? Yes it does, and chonky like f/cking Land Cruiser 😅
Thanks for your glowing feedback. I'm glad you liked it 💪
@@_let_them_fly_ anytime ☺
bro became mustang 💀
It wishes 😮
Any links on where we can order these from extra pieces?
Go onto bricklink.com and enter all the product codes from this video in the search bar 👍
Lego copy moc versions of people create and they sell it ,that's big disappointment but they do right now....
Not fan the car just looks more bulky
It looks weird. It can be done better.
Without doubt 🙌
Like cutting the crust off a sandwich. Sad
Nice analogy 💪
It's ridiculous that we have to fix this ourselves and Lego keeps increasing prices.
LEGO seem OK with that arrangement 😯
Congrats you made it look worse than it did before
Always happy to meet a fan 🙏
Wow , that’s perfect! Why couldn’t stupid Lego do this in the first place?
