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

Kyosho 240z, Revell 350z and Kyosho 2000 GT-R

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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
