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.

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.

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 found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
