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:

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
