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.

    • 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.
