$650??? That 1:18 scale Biante R32 on that Japanese site is only 7000 yen (A$82.65)...

You might have to get the Biante and modify it, give it a new paint job and take the cage out etc? Probably not what you're after but... thats the only 1:18 R32 I've seen around.

that r32 is a collectors item as theres only 500 or so been made, and it comes with all this gibson motorsport docs.

I have never seen a 1:18 r33 ever.

The 1:18 r34 Autoart I've seen isn't very impressive or even accurate.

I have a nice little collection of 1:43 Skylines though and being a Japanese company, they are pleasingly accurate:

I have the R34 N1 GTR. R33 GTR Midnight Purple and Mines Tuned R34 GTR in those Ebbro 1:43 scale, and yeah, they're very small... about double the size of a matchbox car... Very well made and looks very accurate, but not really worth buying :P

Model cars are a completely useless hobby and especially those who fill up display cabinets full of them but whatever makes you happy I suppose.

I wonder if these will ever be worth anything given that there are allegedly 'only' 3,000 examples.

T.

Speaking of display cabinets, do you know of any specially made for model cars?

I have always wanted my own collection, i have heapes of really small cars but they look shit compared to the 1:18 scale models

I seem to remember that most of the cabinets I seen were professional, ie. barrel locks, sliding doors like shop fittings.

I agree with you that 1:43 is a tough scale and Ebbro is certainly not the best, I've seen Ferrari models that look like they were hand made but they were $250 plus!

Ebbro is less than $100, made in China but still very good, I see no paint flaws unlike other models and I find plastics to be good although I cleaned some flashing off them.

Well this is more for Denham's benefit...

1. Forget R32 Ebbro. They all stopped production long ago.

2. R33 Ebbro might be available but still rare.

3. Some dribbs and drabs of the 34 still available.

I got mine various model stores but mostly from an SAU sister site:

http://www.importplaza.com.au/nissanR34.htm

Andrew will help you, he's been good to me.

I am still after an R34 Mines tune and perhaps a Nismo tune model.

I suggest that perhaps this is the right one for you:

Place in me, have the ebbro r33 still in stock for $67 and the KPGC10 in 1:18 for $108. Only 1:18 in r32 is the 1990 gibson model which is $180.

I actually saw the nismo r34 model at a hobby shop in fountain gate in vic last night in 1:18 grey colour.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
