I've got one skyline and a 2 door datusn 510 in the works right now. The skyline is a fujimi HR31 GTS-R. It has no rear wing, is lowered about 6 scale inches, has aftermarket 19" AVS model 5 rims in bronze, and is painted in a reallly dark (like almost black when out of the sun) blue with a heavy metalflake which looks mad when the light hits it. I also have spare mesh 15" rear wheels which I swap on occasionally, and I made up a big drifted out cannon muffler on the back. Interior is red race seats from a S4 RX7 kit, with silver/grey trim, black interior (e.g like the J's racing s15 from canberra). should finish up well.

The revell datsun 510 will be in the same blue (but probably a bit lighter due to body color), with black RS-watanabe 8 spokes from fujimi kit on the front, and black/silver mesh dish rims on the back. The interior will have one red race seat, and be stripped. I am also converting it from left to right hand drive and making an exhaust system for it.

Hopefully I'l finish them and post pics of my "seventh garage" mini drift team one day :)

I buy my kits from http://www.hlj.com

- Fujimi R33 GT-R 1/24 (painted purple)

- Tamiya R33 GST-t 1/24 (painted burgundy)

- Fujimi R32 GTS-t 1/24 (unassembled yet)

- Tamiya GT-R 2000 1969 1/24 (unassembled yet)

Still looking for:

- R34 GT-T

- R32 GT-R

wheres the best place to buy the plastic bodies ones that require full assembly, e.g. fujimi and tamiya kit styles??

most of mine were given to me, but i always get them from games/model stores and they cost over 40 bucks each. is there a way to order them direct from japan? i'd love it if i could get them for around 15-20 bucks each.

coco69, there's a good model shop in Melbourne just near Myer / David Jones, in one of those streets that cut through them. If that makes sense? It's near the corner of that big road that goes to the bridge next to the train station. If that helps? lol

I don't get there very often.....

red900ss: Those directions aren't bad considering you're from Sydney ;)

It's called 'Hobby Place' and is on Lonsdale St near Swanston (a couple of doors up from Melb Central)

Another one (even better) called Traffic Collectibles in Malvern Rd, Prahran - just up from Williams Rd (opposite Safeway)

Sorta OT, sorta not, anyone know what a good grade of sandpaper is to sand back a plastic model? or a way of chemically stripping one (that won't melt it) maybe oven cleaner?? I left a kit shell on my balcony, turned my back for a minute, and a freak wind blew up, flipped it over and now the paint is full of shit. GRRRR. I need to strip and start again or sand back the affected areas. Its a fujimi kit.

cheers,

floody

    • Yeap, not as doorty as ITB's, but alot more doorty than before, induction sound great when I'm up it 🤗
    • Any difference in induction noise?
    • If I got a dollar for every flipped commuter missile I've driven past I'd have two dollars   Some people get into wild adventures on the road and I doubt it's gender or ethnicity specific. I'm just glad I don't usually drive during peak times.
    • Just got the car back and gave it a good run back home Power wise, whilst it only made a extra 5 killerwasps up top at 7200 rpm, it made more power everywhere from 2500 rpm and kept pulling much harder all the way, to the point of me relearning when to shift so I don't hit the 7200 limiter, with the old intake it seemed to take alot more time to rev out, and, throttle response is also much improved  As I didn't want to remove the bumper every time I serviced the air filter (basically every aftermarket and fabricated CAI has the filter behind the bumper) it currently has a hektic exposed pod in the engine bay sucking in hot air, this will be rectified shortly after some some of my CAD (cardboard assisted design) for a alloy heat shield feed by the OEM intake tube behind the bumper, this will cop some wrinkle black paint, as well as the intake pipe for that totally OEM look... The only fly in the ointment was that the OEM "strut" brace doesn't fit over the rear runner of the new intake with the 2.5 engine is in the engine bay, as the 2.5 raises the engine up by 20mm, it's not a war stopper, and I didn't notice any difference without it in some twisties, but....... MX5 Mania is bringing in some GWR "fancy pants" braces that apparently do fit, if it bolts up I'll grab it, it is also stiffer than the OEM one, which is a bonus All in all I'm happy with the outcome      Fancy pants "strut" brace that gives the required clearance      This is where the clearance issue was, the GWR extends out past this
