hey guys before this thread dies, i have some questions,

the main one being how do you lower suspension evenly, i tried when i built a silvia for my gf and it failed miserably, all uneven and the partss woudlnt glue back on right, any suggestions?

i want to know this before i build my next kit,

any other tricks you guys wanna sharee???

I made up my own front suspension arms and glued then to the disc brake to lower the front of an r32 GTR I'm building.

Just cut off the standard suspension and kept the hub, disc, top of suspension and steering knuckle. Steering still works!

The back was just glueing up some of the spruce to make up new suspension arms as well.

Sorry no pics atm as I'm 16,000km from home.

aoshima do them check out www.hlj.com

where do you get extra body parts like bodykits from? anyone know of any place that sells gts-t skylines in series 2 if possible? found series 1 on hlj.com but no series 2 and no email for them

Nice collection mate!

Thanks! I've been collecting GT-Rs for a few years now. I like to think that my diecast collection is pretty decent. Some of the early 1:43 Ebbro R32 GT-Rs have remained out of my reach, but thankfully they have re-released them with a new (and superior) mould.

Nice mate. I've just started my collection of 1:18 diecast models aswell, and just purchased this Norev Porsche RS Spyder from France, so hopefully it arrives soon :D

Anyone know where I can find D1 diecast 1:18 or 1:24 models cars?

I recently purchased a HKS S15 and Apexi FD RX7 (both 1:24 scale) from Hobbyco here in Sydney..

edit: here's a quick crappy pic from a while ago of them... it's a bit overexposed i'll take proper pics when i can be bothered

    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
    • thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...
    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
