umm Jamezilla, if ur in melbourne, theres no need to get one from that ebbro site. i've bought a R34 calsonic GTR for around $40 from Big W. For more variety u can get the same thing at the hobby shop on lonsdale st. costs you from $50 - $60. still cheaper than $70.

Turtle:

Thanks - will have to pop in next time I am in the city.

Was there a couple of months back looking at RC cars - keen for a gas powered one, but not sure I want a race-track only one :

I have got quite a few

you can buy die-cast 1:18 scale R34's from most hobby shops, as well as plastic kits. Diecast stuff is usually $80+ and the plastic kits can be had for about $30.

i currently have 5 group A 1:18 R32's, 2 1:18 R34's, 1 1:12 (huge) palstic 32 GTR and about 10 smaller palstic skylines, great fun, and they look good - they are also cheaper than the real thng

Best place to try is your local hobby store, or ebay

yer as the other guys (and gals:) ) have already mentioned, going down to your local hobby shop or even target/kmart etc.. will be the best and easiest way to get model skylines.

im pretty sure you can even get a tamiya remote control r34 (more likely from a hobby shop). you can just buy the kit without the remote which would be pretty awesome, not to mention how much fun putting together a model car is, especially a remote control car.

    • Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......
    • 440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
    • Appreciate everything guys. I did go ahead and get an alignment... most of my complains are solved. Car is not perfect, but it's good enough. If I notice uneven tire wear or anything I'll just take everything back to stock.  Thanks again!
    • They still have not shipped the 550cc injectors as they weren't in stock, so in theory I could ask to get the 440cc ones instead, if those work better in my scenario. They're the same price so really shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately I am not so knowledgeable in most parts of tuning so I wasn't sure what's best to choose between the two. 440cc ones are the lowest they have (not in stock, but available to buy nonetheless).
