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.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
