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.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
