Who makes the "aero special" DR30 kit? is it Fujimi or Aoshima?

I've got the Jenesis DR30 kit in mid build, and a KPGC10 with a transplanted L28 with webers in place of the S20 (really an L24 from a fujimi 240z), a C110 GT-X "bosozoku" style with massive camber, stretchwall tyres etc, and FIVE HR31 Skyline kits (one of them is the 4 door hardtop). Hopefully I can finish them all

Aoshima made these stretchwall tyres + deep dish old school wheel sets for a series of bosozoku style kits - not the "works" series HLJ have, something completely different that only aoshima hobbyworld japan stocked - they're insane! I've got SSR MK1s, Longchamp XR4s, and Yayoi Sakura...

Well since we're adding pictures... here's my 240ZG WIP. It stopped several months ago cos I was up to painting the body and ran out of maroon paint. The toy shop stopped selling this brand so I put it on hold. Haven't really got back into it as haven't got the time + $10 per can doesn't excite me even if I could find somewhere that sells it. This model is the best model EVER, so detailed and mostly accurate. So I'm trying my best to paint it accurately too. If anyone is interested there's the same kit on ebay atm - no relation to seller.

^ My best attempt at "woodgrain" for the steering wheel. Looks nice but not as dark or as red as the real thing.

^ Completed engine + tranny !

I've got about 9 kits from hlj downstairs that I need to finish before I order any more.

Need to redo my stock DR30 because the black rub strips look crap, theres another 1 or 2 stock DR's, a Jenesis DR, a HR31 coupe, a hakosuka, a two door and a 4 door 240K race cars, a KE70 that is going to get some deeeeeeeeeep dish Watanabes that are supposed to be for Testarossas or something, S5 RX7, early Soarer (done the shell, sparkly apple green). I think thats it. Might redo my V8 S13 sometime too

    • You're not the first person that's said that about this car lol. A Touring wagon GT in Spark yellow mica would be the dog's danglies 😆 I will keep an eye out for a future purchase for sure. The seats are almost like the OEM Recaros... electric adjustment for fore/aft and tilt movements except reclining.   
    • Yes!! I love these! It's a shame its not the wagon though!   Thank everything that's holy that it doesn't have the interior of the Aussie delivered ones. Those seats are so much nicer.  
    • I'm both sorry and thankful that you do that. 
    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches.
