Autoarts are made off kyosho moulds, just as Biante's are, which are the bathurst models....

Anyone interested in selling to me let me know.

Well the current ones aren't autoart managed to get the headlights wrong the first time out with the new mould, had to get it changed, whereas kyosho got it spot on first time out with the new mould.

I totally agree. AutoArt's first release of the white and gun grey R32 GT-R roadcars was way off. The lights were too narrow, the lenses were not 'orange' enough, and the front was too elongated. Kyosho pretty much knocked it right on the head first time out with their roadcars, PLUS the Kyosho's were around AUS$15 cheaper than the AutoArts too.

The later AutoArt releases (V-spec II and Nismo) had correct lenses and were generally 'tidied' up. They are much better.

Anyway, I feel I have sort of hijacked this thread a little from the original 'wanted to buy', for which I apologise.

Hey buddy you may be able to help me on this one. I have been searching and searching for a long time now for a R33 GTR 1:24 scale. I have hunted on the net for hours and hours only to find 1:64 scale and nothing else. Do you have any idea where to find these at all?

Any help would be greatly apprciated.

Ususally heaps of diecast stuff on here bud. I know its over here in NZ but I dont mind if you get it sent to my place and I can send it off to you. Thats if there is something you really really want and willing to pay a little more shipping.

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.

My collection of diecast:

I have the Kyosho GMG R32 GTR 1:18 scale. Its a very good copy apart from the engine angle and the radiator hose, but who am I to complain >_<.

I also have a yellow Ferrari F50 and a green Jaguar XK8 in 1:18 scale. Biante will be receiving some of my monies soon for various models, especially the R34 Z-Tune :)

Nice collection as well ajrichar.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
