Awesome little things, I wouldn't mind getting one for my umm 21month old boy. lol

Would any one have better pics of the R32 GTR, from what I can see the R32's shell looks a little crappy. The R34 looks good but.

I used to be into these, where I was younger, I had a RWD one with FETs extra battery and faster motor, thing used to drift. :sleep:

generally hobby stores are abit expensive,

I used to order all my stuff from hk or us. was cheaper, cant remember where from tho

edit, ausmicro sell ready sets

Yeah, the hobby shops in aust are very expensive, considering for diffs transmissions etc, you can have the price and have it at your front door (shipping included) but coming from a hobby shop is hella spensive...

But when people are just getting into it, alot of the time it's better to buy local.

lol I have this tiny tomy rc car, about the size of a 50 cent coin and its got an r34 shell, batteries last abou 10 mins then you recharge it off the remote. pretty sweet but i havent used it for about 3 years cause the cars battery stopped chargng properly

They come up occasionally on ebay, but otherwise HPI make an RS4 micro, with an R34 shell. They're about the same size.

Available locally, plenty of hop-ups...etc etc.

But if you go down the road of a 1:10th RC drifter, there's plenty more options and cheaper parts. Essentially you're going to need the same radio gear, batteries, charger etc.

Thse guys stock them locally...

They have a shop in Rhodes and the city.

I had one for a while. There pretty cool. Especially when you start modifying them

I have a collection of the Tomy Bit-G (aka Bit-char) cars...

The best is my R34 skyline (no honestly) - I got the upgraded motor and gears for it...

I think toyseast sells them from hongkong - but check Big-W!

I'm sure I've seen the Kyosho ones there!

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.
