tried biante.com.au ? they sell r32 gtrs by autoart and kyosho and r34's in 1:18 scale

yeah, i know the old owner of biante. I am after cars that anyone has which might increase my collection i dont mind having doubles....

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    • Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.
    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
