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.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
