Looks AWESOME!

You wheel offset is huge!

How did you make the exhaust muffler? Metal pipping with different diametres sliding into each other bought from the LHS?

Z-Tune looks nice. Is your intercooler made from cardboard pieces?

How did you get the Carbon Fibre bonnet look? Sticker?

Again looks great!

LOL!

Yeah you filmed it on the side, but sill looks good.

Gee you got good control in a small area.

Nice, thanks for that.

Yes the RC Car is very well built, can't complain about Tamiya, awesome quality.

It's fast for sure! Gota get use to the speed and controlling the throttle as well.

I took my S15 out again today out on the street, I'm getting use to it but still need practice.

Today I got my +6mm Offset Volk TE37 wheels in black and looks awesome as it fills the guards nicely.

I will get some pics tomorrow in the sunlight.

hahaha, my fiancée did the filming so its not my fault :)

ill take some pictures of my chassis without the body. i have a few minor mods to help me drive

really sharp like i was. (my car only rides 4mm of the ground........probably lower now, i haven't looked.

yeah im happy with mine its is easy to control and ive tried other motors and its fine. (stock 540 motor

at the moment but)

(OO)SKYLINE(OO) yours looks exactly like the s15 on the HPI mags back a few issues. my battery lasts the same as yours.

Edited by central coast person

i saw some youtube videos now i want one =]

any idea where i get a r/c drift car from..im looking for a r33 =] i want to make a replica of my car =]

whats the average price range for one of these, and do they come assembled or do you have to build it?

Hey Beau

you can get some cheap ones off ebay

the R33 kit is very very rare.

you will need the 400 R body i think as it resembles a stock r33 the most. the others are the calsonic style ones.

go for tamiya. will set you back about 150-250

again. R33 shells are very very rare.

im trying to source an R32 GTR shell and it seems i can only get em from japan at about $90

hmmmm i just found this on ebay =]

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2009-1-10-RC-Radio-...%3A1|240%3A1318

looks alright, dont want anything to flashy or pricey as i seen some kits $300+

and id probably prefer electric to fuel..unless anyone suggest otherwise.

Yeah the S15 is based on the RAUL WELT S15 Silvia in Japan.

UPDATE!

I just got a Datsun Fairlady 240Z body shell yesterday, sprayed in White with Work Meister Wheels +6mm Offset.

Also bought a FD RX7 body shell made by HPI and I realised it only has a GT Wing in which I hate and I want the standard wing.

Pics of 240Z ASAP!

where did you get the meisters?

i just bought a tamiya XBG petrol car

off a mate for 100 bux

im gona buy a 3.3 cc engine and put it in because the existing engine is old and shitty

i also found CE28N's

theres an RC thread in the wasteland btw

Yeah I saw that thread Sam, thanks.

There is a Hobby shop on Station Street in Box Hill and they do a lot of HPI goods.

That is where I got the Work Meisters from, in chrome (Which is probably the only wheels I like in chrome).

They are even trying to get the Bling Kits with the Exhaust Muffler and Intercooler.

R33's are indeed rare. Getting your hands on the road going version is virtually impossible but I was lucky enough to score a couple of brand new R33 GTR N1 kits (now sold).

The wide body race spec R33's aren't my thing.

You can spot the Sard Supra too. Hard to get stuff.

For R32's, HPI make them for around 50 bucks. They lack the detail of Tamiya but will be fine if your looking at using it as basher.

nice looking cars guys. I have a 1/8th scale tamiya TGX nitro car with Kure Nismo Super GT GTR body. It was a great car in the day. nice engine, great build quality and I bought the 2 speed transmission for it and with that it gets to about 80km/h in top gear!! the only downside is at that speed you get out of range pretty quick and can have some pretty nasty stacks too.

I might drag it out of the garage and get it going again. the killer with the tamiya gear is it's all top quality, but the hop ups cost a bomb. from memory the 2 speed gear box was over $150 at the time, and then you have 2 clutch etc, carbon brakes a lot of stuff that can wear out. I also ran it with a front 1 way LSD and rear 2 way and carbon fibre tailshaft. lol, just like a real GTR. :P

just wondering where you guys get the fat ass wheels from... the ones i have make my R/C look like its rolling on Hyundai Rims..

HPI make aftermarket wheels with different Offset sizes. +3mm, +6mm and +9mm.

You probably want to go +6mm to fill your guards.

LOL!

Yeah sounds just like a real car, but for hole lot less for the price.

80km/h, you could probably put that up against a real car and give it a good run :P

I saw that in Top Gear, they race a real car (I can't remember what car it was) against the RC version of the same car.

I think i saw this top gear episode... wasnt it Clarkson V the Stig. and the Stig just cracked it and ran the R/C over and crushed it, therefore winning the race?

That's not very nice.. my old TT01 got run over in the carpark outside my mates workshop.. stupid cow came fanging round the corner and front wheel then back wheel over my r/c :P

I'll put a battery on charge this arvo and try get some footage before it gets dark!

Yeah that's the one.

Bubba that must suck big time.

These RC Cars are not cheap either.

Hope she paid for the replacement!

    • 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.
