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

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
