I get all of my kits from this site.

awesome i have to do a few 430challenge models up for some sponosrs (better than just giving them a picture for their support) and HLJ are out of stock. How long do these guys take to send out the models?

Yeah $150 sounds about right.

You tried the "Hobby Place"

280 - 282 Lonsdale Street

Melbourne, VIC 3000

(Opposite Myer)

Ph: 9663 4407

I bought my Auto Art R34 GTR there, which cost $110 at the time but he sold it to me for $100 cause it was missing the box.

As posted in the other thread in Wasteland...

MY GT-R collection is slowly growing...

AUTOart R32 GT-R police car (limited edition, 1 of 6000) and AUTOart R32 GT-R V-Spec II (in Spark Silver)

These two will be joining the rest in the cabinet once I make room for them. I might also buy some of those 1:18 scale hoists and some tools and mechanics so I can set up a diorama, and it will also save me buying more glass shelves and drilling holes inside the cabinet to mount them...

I'm REALLY tempted to get more police cars (from different prefectures in Japan) and some more race cars, and if I can find more of the V-Spec II R32's around I might try and see if I can get them in all the available colours.

I wish they made a C34 Stagea in 1:18 scale die-cast!

Forget ebay. http://www.hlj.com is what you need.

The Tamiya KPGC10 kit is by far the best. It has full engine and chassis detail ; aoshima and fujimi kits are kerbside (no engine detail, rudimentary chassis), and the interior and exterior detail is also primitive.

However, of course its easier to get those (aoshima, fujimi kits) in the racing versions. There is a ~$75 transkit to turn the tamiya kit into a race version...

Searching KPGC10 on HLJ.com gets you...

http://www.hlj.com/hljlist2/?Dis=-2&fr...chpage=top_page

The Hakosuka kit I'm working on which is posted further up this page is the Tamiya GT-R kit; although the flares, chin spoiler are custom, wheels/tyres by Aoshima, and the engine and oil cooler from Fujimi kits.

Edited by floody

meh

i think i'll start with the bog stock one, then maybe get a racing one

i dont mind kerbside models as i'll most likely just be displaying them in a cabinet anyway

and i dont care if its a KPGC10 or KPGC110 - both are as awesome as each other lol

Fair enough. Just trying to help.

Good choice on the Tamiya one. My gripes with the kerbside fujimi and aoshima ones aren't just about the lack of detail, its also in deformed proportions and such they have.

I buy from HLJ or hobbyworld because I've had nothing but grief from shady Hong Kong ebay sellers.

Yeah, $10 buy it now...$50 to ship it...In a brown paper bag with tape over the end, and labelled as a gift to avoid duties... Bought 3 kits from Honkers, 2 have been crushed, one irretrievably, got sodomised on shipping costs each time, took weeks to ship each time...Never, ever again. In contrast I've had 20+ kits ex-Japan with no problems.

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
