1/24 R34 Nismo GT-R Z-Tune model - arrived


Recommended Posts

It just suddenly turned up today... I was on "Hobby Search" back about the Hotworks Z-Tune GT-R model, but they replied that it was on "re-order". Now, read into that any which way you want, but I interpreted that as a fault in the quality or something... I was right. Some pics:

A tad blurry, sorry, but it looks like the dashboard screen is actually "on" doesn't it? [thinks]...must buy shares in Hotworks...[/thinks]

Heres the problem for the delay... the shut lines on the bonnet are no where near satisfactory. Compare this shot to the shots I posted on the Failady Z S-Tune model, and you'll see what I mean. No amount of re-alligning was going to get that front bumper closer to the bonnet shut line... hence the "re-release". I just wish Hobby Search could've sent me one of the revised ones!!! Trouble is, theres no way you can find out if the shut lines are any good until you open the box and start changing parts.

But anyway...

My collection. Found a use for the old R34 GT-R wheels already...

Can anybody say "slammed"??? Hahahaha :D

You guys aren't concerned about the 'shut lines' around the bonnet?

If not please get a group buy going (somebody make a group - PM me with addys, quantity, colour etc ) and I'll do the rest. I'll also need you guys too pool the total money together, then remit the money to my address (through the post office?). Sorry, there'll be an added charge in that, but I don't have an account in AU now.

Shut lines?

What are these models worth round about?

You know, when the bonnet is shut, the lines or 'gaps' around the outside... must be insider car production speak.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
