$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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
