Is it a Jada Toys job? PLEASE SAY YES, I know of a place in Penrith that is having a sale of their stuff.

If it was at Auto Joy in Castle Hill, I'm spewing I didn't see them the other day when I was there.

Oh well, pay week this week, so I might have to go back on the weekend. Here's what I've got now, anyway.

Yessum, s!im and moonie are right, Castle Hil Autojoy ;)

Not really sure what brand, but it says HOTWORKS Racing factory all over the box.

Looks like it's the same one as yours nightcrawler :thumbsup:

I'm guessing Autojoy at Castle Hill will get a few orders now hey? hehehe

yeah the brand is hotworks. they have heaps of different ones. Z-tune GTR, R+S tune GTR, Option Stream Z, RX-7 etc etc. nice toys I bought one of the GTR ones when I was in japan. it was a bitch to carry back with all my other crap. plus it wasn't that much cheaper than here.

hahaha you've even got little PEOPLE!! :)

I've got a purple 1:43 scale R34 GTR (auto art brand)

want to get the same size yellow one, so I've got my 2 fave colours

Can't get the bigger sizes cos I don't have space for them!!

Shell: The little people came with the cars - they're the characters from Initial D...

RIK: That's only part of my collection - I've got a Calsonic R-34 r/c car (approx 1:10 scale) that my friend bought me for Christmas a few years back, it's a cheapo one but it looks accurate.

The little red R-34 in the middle of that shot is an r/c car too, and you can change the suspension and gearing on it, as well as adjust the turning circle on it from the remote...

You guys need to build REAL models... the new Skyline kits from Tamiya are absolutely awesome. They've got the Calsonic Skyline as well and that is hot.

Notably, I still love the Pennzoil Nismo GTR I built years ago :)

$59? You got ripped off dude. I bought an RX7 for myself and another for my mate - they were like $35ea - this was a few months ago though...

i doubt they were genuine hot works models. even in japan they are (from memory) nearly 4000 yen. I know because I've been to a hobby shop there and seen them. if you seriously can get them for $35 I stand corrected, and could you get me an RX-7 one too. for $35 it's too good to say no. :rofl:

      Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
