[GT51R]

[J-Boy]

how big is 1:18 in terms of length and width?

[GT51R]

around 25cm in length and 10 cm in width

[N1GTR]

If you find a white R32 N1 or VSPEC ill take one aswel

[J-Boy]

im looking fer a white 32gtr with length of about 15-20cm i guess...think it will be around 1:43?

[CeJay]

you can try http://www.biante.com.au/find-a-model.htm?...cksearch=Search

biante again, or try googling Ebbro, if your after 1:43, Good luck finding the hard to find stuff, I know the price for a 1:18 92 winfield gtr is insane.

[GTRsean]

I have two of the 1:18 1991 bathurst winner GTRs by Biante.

Wonder how much they are worth. Not as much as a red one (1992 windfield) I guess.

Yeah i have the same...dunno why the Winfield cars are dearer as the 91 cars are the ones that actually won Bathurst and completed the race.

[GT51R]

91's are in the 200's You can find a white V spec 1 or II on Ebay.com just search in diecast and you'll find some, look at spending around $140 by the time is freighted etc.

I am after any diecasts so if anyone has anything let me know if you want to sell.

I got one from hypertech a few years back as a gift for my brother. however i cannot find their website anymore.

it was an R34 and you could change the wheels and all that

If people hadn't already done so, I recommend you purchase a recent (last 12 months) Kyosho 1:18 R32 GT-R in either wine red or gun grey.

I have been getting them as they are being released, and can't say enough good things about them:

For those that aren't aware of the size difference between 1:64, 1:43 and 1:18, I have compared them here:

My group shots of a selection of Ebbro's 1:43 cars. If anyone is considering Ebbro, go for it.

My collection of diecast:

The 1991 Bathurst cars are fetching between AUS$180-220. The 1992 Bathurst winners are fetching between AUS$550-600 on ebay. Crazy money for what is quite a crude diecast (based off original c. 1991 Kyosho moulds).

N1GTR - For a 1:18 White R32 GT-R V-spec II, see here: http://www.biante.com.au/product_16530.htm

AutoArt product code A77345. You can order this car anywhere in the world with this code. I don't have pics of mine handy unfortunately, but it is very VERY well finished and will set you back in the vicinity of AUS$110-$125 RRP.

Windfield cars are red, that's why they are worth more!!

By the way, nice collection.

Auto Art have just started to release the r32 japan grp a gtr's. I have just bought a Calsonic one for $127 and the detail is sooo much better than they kyosho ones.

So far they have released the Calsonic (limited run of 6000 units) and the Kyoseki (3000 units).

The Taisan/STP (this is the one Tsuchiya aka drift king drove)should be available soon as well.

I would assume he winfield car is worth som much more as it was the most controversial (some say stole Dick Johnson's win), however I would still love to get my hands on a model of the 91 bathurst GTR.

BTW ajrichar, great collection must have taken some time! LOVE the signed winfield gtr poster board!!!

Thanks, it has taken me several years to accumulate that collection. I also have two 1:18 Motor Max R34 GT-Rs, but they stay boxed because I don't like them very much and I may sell them off.

The signed poster is a prized collection. Both Mark and Jim loved the poster when they saw it.

Have to agree about the kyosho r32 cars, have a white gtr on my desk at work, very well done and apart from a few small errors correct.
