Hey guys,

My girlfriend wants to make a cake and wants a small skyline model to put on it, anything where she wants to get involved with skylines im happy to accommodate.

I searched on ebay, international ebay, google and looked on these forums and nothing was cheap enough/small enough or threads were old etc..

If someone could point me in the right direction of a cheap(under $30) model place or website that would be great.

I would like:

-White

-R33, Gtr or gtst doesn't matter

-small... like hot wheels size.

Thanks for the help.

P.S Sorry if this is a bad section to put this in.

just sharing some information for others who might be looking for something similar,

r34 gtr at 1:12 (iirc) and 1:24 available at harbor town docklands, in one of those souvenir shops.

iirc $10 for the 1:12 and $30 for the 1:24.

i've got the 1:24 and it comes with 4 spare wheels and an extra carbon fibre bonnet, with a screw driver included!!!

Out here in Croydon there is a train hobby shop just off Dorset road, and down the back they have little cars you can buy to go on the train set. They have a jap car section. No GTR's, but they do have c110 skylines, and R32 GT 4 doors with hubcaps and all, and in hot wheels size.

My son has a collection on his shelf of every skyline you can get from safeway ETC. All are R32, R34 and R35, I have never seen R33 Hotwheels cars.

Is a bit big an around 60$ but you can buy a 1:43 scale new

some 1:64 scale stuff is also here

All GT-R stuff, very hard to find a GTS-T

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
