Hey nice collection, those larger Skylines look scale 1:12 or are they 1:18?

The Nismo Z-Tune looks sweet! But I would mind getting one meself and painting the bonnet / wheels black and body white.

Cheers man,

1:18 scale skylines, bathurst 1991 winner and a stock R32GTR

Got another 1991 bathurst one still in box, wish I had the 1992 Winfield one!!!

Hey guys first time seeing this thread, are these working models? With an engine?

That looks like fun, where do you get them from? You build from scratch? How much?

Apologies for the myriad questions :no:

No probs :)

Some have engine bay, and doors, bonnet, boot that open and fully detailed interiors.

Buy mostly from hobby shops, I got a couple from Big W!, also buy online...

Most you build from scratch, glue and paint.

Looks like fun but takes hours to complete and look good!

ive started my collection off with the fujimi $2.99 r33 gtr off ebay :cheers: $20 postage though

between my lack of patience and skills we shall see what happens

Are you able to scan the box art in hi-res and post it up here? Please? The box art for Fujimi and Tamiya is excellent.

I have a collection of quality die-cast models, such as Autoart, Ebbro, and Kyosho.

I've spent roughly $4,000 on them, collecting every model in every variation and colour.

I've only taken basic pics of them right now, however I may take close-ups of the more limited models later on if anyone wants to see.

My collection, only die cast for now until i have the time, space......such i'll start building things!

In the mean time, if anyone EVER come accross a toyota starlet EP82, PLEASE let me know as i've searched all over the net but could not find one for some reason, i was under the impression that every cars in Japan has its own die cast model or some sort of.

Nice collection!

I have most of your Ebbro cars (stayed within R32-R33-R34) but I am missing the AUTOart red R34 in red with BBS wheels (limited to 1,000) , the Nismo S and R Tune cars, and the 1:64 Beads Collection range you have. They are very nice indeed.

I've got a few in diecast:

And a heap others that I haven't posted here. I also have all of the new AUTOart R32 GT-R Group A cars in 1:18 released thus far (Calsonic, STP Taisan, Kyoseki, HKS). I love them but the car I am really after is the AUTOart 1:18 R34 Gt-R Nur spec. This was limited to 1,000 pieces in Japan with certificate. I refule to pay what they go for.

ajrichar; That's a sweet collection also.

I see the 1:43 R34 GTR Nur, & R34 GTR N1 of yours, nice!.... I still need those 2.

I haven't heard of the Autoart Nur-spec till you mentioned it! :D

Trying to find a pic but haven't spotted 1 yet.

I thought the R34 BBS version I have was expensive (just to have a set of BBS rims, and a caption stating 1,000 pieces), I wonder how much the Nur goes for ??

I actually built this collection prior to owning my R34,... so naturally die-cast's are on hold for the time being, whilst the funds go towards performance goodies. :)

Can you get little RB26 model engines? I'd love to build one and put it in one of these cars :P

I would too! Like a scale / mini RB26 in the cabinet would look sweet.

I think Tamiya and Fujimi went tight ass on the model kits and stop making engines. So some model fanatics buy the Tamiya R32 GTR model kit and take the engine out of that kit and put it into the R33 and R34 kits but they have to cut out the bonnet.

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
