Has anyone bought a Kyosho model before? Whats their quality like?

I have an Autoart R34 GTR and have found an Autoart R32 and was just wondering if one was any better than the other.

The Autoart R32 is currently out of stock so if Kyosho is a good brand i will just get it.

Cheers

AutoArt is about the best of the mass-produced models that I have come across.

I didn't know that AutoArt did an R32, I might have a look at getting one. I have a bunch of model cars of all different brands - Hot Wheels Die Cast, autoart, bburago, maisto etc.

Does anyone know of an R33 GTR die cast model? I don't care what it costs, I want one.

Kyosho and Autoart are both top quality Diecast car Manufacturers.

One is not better than the other.....

It really depends on the specific model they do, for Example the new Kyosho R32 GTR sh*ts on the Autoart equivilent, yet on another car the Autoart one may be a better replica.

Minichamps also make some quality 1/18 models

Heres a few of mine:

Autoart Porsche GT3R and Minichamps Sierra

Revell Opel Manta, Autoart Audi Quattro and Autoart Torana SLR5000

BTW, I have found at $129 IKEA make the best Value for money Display Cabinets, they are about 6ft tall, all glass, and have 4 display levels (3 x 1/18 cars per), they also come with a light :)

i do, i forget wat size it is, its bout 10cm long. my ex got it for me off ebay. bleck r33 gtr

I have seen the ones on EBay, they are too small, from memory, 1:43 scale. Like the grey one a couple of posts above.

I want one in 1:18 (preferably), or even 1:24 scale.

Got me a red Kyosho R32 GTR as well for $99, same colour as my car.

Love the detail. I actually pulled out the space saver spare and it's just like the real one.

It lives with my 1:18 1991 bathurst winner GTR.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
