I bought some paints i didnt have so i can paint it soon (ive done models in the past).

The detail is pretty good, it has a full interior (dash etc.) and rubber wheels etc...i can paint it my choice of colour, but im going for the metallic black.

i'll post pics of the build. :drag:

I bought mine from Hobby Habit on Main Nth Road.

They have a large range of others (which ive got my eye on) including 33gtr's, Pennzoil Nizmo, Calsonic, 34's, 180's, gtst 33's, silvias (s13/s15). The damn paint costs about the same as the model was to buy, but if you have built some in the past it works out u only need a few colours at a time.

Go to the tamiya website to see the full catalogue.

Oh yer, Hobby Habbit have one i saw im getting next - The Homer (includes a small homer) :drag:

How much are they?

The model as you see it is about $34

If you dont have the paint, it becomes expensive, as it uses 18 different colours. I only had to buy a few colours as ive done previous models in the past, and the more kits u buy later, the less paint u need to buy.

Happy B'day. :)

Looks nice, when will you get around to putting all the bits together?

Not going to be like the 'real' R32 is it... You know.. that hks manifold sitting shed.... the bonnet and guards that are sitting in the shed.

hehehe lol

Happy B'day. :mellow:

i had a awsome model of a purple 34 gtr on my 21st bday cake that my mum got, its pretty detailed, and cost like $80 from some hobby shop, ill post pics when i get a chance :) (i tried 2 return it n get blue but they said no :happy: )

Nice present, looks nice. I thought I would let you know that I have a !/12 scale nizmo R32GTR model. It has rubber tyres, working steering, mesh grill, hinged doors,turbo's brake disc's and even metalic badges . I have been to lazy lately to even start to assmble. lol This one was $300 though and limited to a few hundred models. I got it for my birthday to.{two years ago}This one is mainly assemble with screws and springs and will take time to assemble {many hours} .Its about 375mm long. Got it from complete hobbies main north rd brahma lodge.

I have other models to finish first 1\32 A10 thuderbolt , 1\35 apache helicopter etc .

If you want a look, I might be able to post pic's or maybe catch up with ya so you can have a look.

Any way nice present! :happy:

Straightline Automotive on Port Road also has these Tamiya models, I think he has a couple of 32 GTRs down there at the moment. They sold like hot cakes at the last Extreme Horsepower show.

He also has some of the Initial D already built black 32 GTRs which are pretty hard to find if you can't be bothered building one up.

I just got a different brand 32 GTR that i am building up. Mine doesnt have an engine in it though :D

Here are some pics of a 2004 34 Nismo Race Car that i built last year

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
