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.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
