I just saw a black VP-VS commonwhore on the road outside the office with transformers stickers all over it and a number plate that said DECEPTIKON or somesuch crap.

Looked shocking

I don't know about you guys, but I've already ordered (from my friend he is a vinyl, sticker, badge maker) 3 Autobot Badge-like stickers for my black R33 Skyline - one with go at the back where the GT-R badge usually is located and the other two will be located use under the side indicators on both sides... should look hot as - anyone thinking of doing the same??

If so, would you badge your car as an Autobot or a Decepticon???

Autobot - nobility, to protect and fights for justice

Decepticon - ruthless, evil, crazy-arse fighters who fight for domination

Your call - choose your side, Soldier! :)

WTF? Another quality comment! :worship:
Dude - you have outdone yourself with this one

:rofl::rofl:

I own this toy, frankly.. it's absolute crap. Waste of money.

It looks nothing like a GTR, infact, Armada Sideswipe has 4 doors. It may take elements from the design of the R32, but nothing more.

You cant say that looks like a skyline rear end :worship:

That said... anyone looking to buy it is better off investing in a few GOOD transformers figures, like my Honda S2K or WRX figures.

Dman, never knew Transformers comes out in WRX form ... where do you get all these "rare" G1 jap import car toys? The toy shops like Toys R Us certainly do not stock them!

A number of years ago, Hasbro began the "Alternators" line of figures with the Rally Spec WRX which was sold in stores in Australia. The Alternators consist entirely of real cars including the Mustang, Rx-8 and DC5-type R to name a few. There are still a few Alternators left in Australian stores, but most commonly in Toyworld or specialty stores. If you find one, you're fairly lucky. Alternators retailed at $50 a piece, but can generally be found lower back in the day.

In Japan, the Alternators are known as "BinalTechs" by Hasbro's partner company, Takara. They are exact replicas of the Alternators, except they contain diecast parts. Expect to pay double the price for these. $80-100 a piece is what you should be paying delivered to your door.

As for where to buy them, online is your best bet. Try stores that specialize in Transformers figures and of course, eBay.

Personally I only buy, and have a number BinalTechs; as they were far more limited and will hold/gain value better than the Alternators.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
