Heres one dodgy deal. "First to see will buy!!! Special sale: 8,700.00 AUD" - I wonder which part of the car you get. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...ssPageName=STRK

Update: WA truly stands for Wait Awhile...recently only found Perth Hobby Centre has one 350Z Option Stream Project for $80.00...testing out the market i suppose. http://www.speedworld.com.au/IMAGES/Web%20...0Z%20Orange.jpg Games n Hobby at Gallleria had a sample (350Z Option Stream Project) but not for sale yet...guestimate sale price to be $70 - 80....

Even some 15yr+ models have risen in price due to high demand...

I understand what you're experiencing. I did witnessed idiotic drivers that intimidate the crap out of L platers by tailgating. I have always given them enough space and time as I was once a L plater. The purpose of having the L plate there is to tell others to be tolerant and give the learner a chance. I remembered being an L plater and making all sort of mistakes.People were courteous and patient back then. I think there are more cars on the roads and impatient drivers. Tailgaters not only tailgate L platers, they tailgate trucks, buses, cars of any sort, bikes...except Police vehicles. Just yesterday, was doing 50km/h on a suburban street and this black holden ute rushed up behind me and eventually overtook me...i assume it was doing 80km/h or more. Lucky for him i dont remember his rego no.

I thought i recognise that quarter panel window. :headbang: This is one waste of resources and eye strain.

Honda Integra?

a Merc is definitely not old man's car...not unless its an old rust bucket merc...it's a rich bastard's [old or young] car...Just saw a L plater driving a CLK320 (convertible) zoom past couple hrs ago. If i am one of them rich bastards I'd have more than one AMG Merc.

whats with the colour...it looks more like queer car for the straight eyes..eek

I've been to a few shops in Perth to look for one that carries Hotworks. To my disapointment I found none so far. I have been to: The hobby shop along Piccadilly Arcade. The hobby shop at Wesley Arcade. Perth Hobby Centre on Murray St. Found none but found quite a few Jada's...different from hotworks and not as detailed but it lets you change the wheels and bonnet. The price starts from about AUD $49 i think... there is another one called Muscle Machines and also Import Tuners. They also carries many different types of RC models including planes, ships etc...interesting visit. Plenty of accessories. Games World at Garden City. Didnt find any hotworks but some Jada's, and Muscle Machines. Heres a link to their website: http://www.jadatoys.com/importracer124.html If anyone knows where to get the hotworks ones in Perth or other anywhere in Aus, can you please put up the info? Thanks.

After doing some digging and searching on the net, I've found the following: Manufacturer's website: http://www.hotworksracing.com/ It has Hong Kong as the manufacturer's address. I havent done an extensive search on this, found 2 shops so far that sell Hotworks diecast models: QLD: http://www.motorfocus.com.au/jap_road.htm NSW: http://www.speedworld.com.au/Hot%20Works.htm [Postage to WA for a 1:24 Scale is $10.45 includes registration.] I have also found some US sites: [Postage would probably cost more or as much as the car] http://www.collectablediecast.com/index.as...TS&Category=267 http://store.jackadeal.com/hodi.html http://www.vertexracing.com/category.php?c...680f3b6865c37a6 Then theres Japan sites: http://www.minicarshop.jp/ [which has quite an extensive range] http://www.interallied.co.jp/index.htm Korean site: http://www.modeler.co.kr/shop/shopbrand.ht...code=025&type=X Singapore: http://www.pastimetoys.com/index.php?osCsi...4a57e62736bcd90 [At SGD $55.00/car approx. AUD $44.50/car - Postage is SGD $31.00/car approx. AUD $25.10/car. Postage for 2 cars is SGD $43.00, works out to be SGD $21.50/car approx. AUD $17.40/car..more items ordered postage will be cheaper. Perhaps group buy would be good.] Theres also Ebay where most vendors that sell them are US based. E.g. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...ssPageName=WDVW [This particular vendor's postage cost is USD $16.00 approx. AUD $21.80. Other vendors have different postage cost - one was quoting USD $27.00, another one was quoting USD $25.00 + USD $2.00 Insurance.]

I was a big fan of F1 (during the Alain Prost & Ayrton Senna era)..wasnt into group A's. However, I remembered when Nissan Aust. 1st release the R32 GTR...it was all over the media...and at a price (at that time can be traded for a house with reasonable sized block)...if i am not wrong, it was going for $110k...then came the Honda NSX...

Cool bike and doesnt cost an arm and a leg - comparing to a BMW or a Porsche.

I cant read japanese either...but I been using babelfish to translate them...eventhough it's in broken english... http://babelfish.altavista.com/

Your history lesson starts here... http://www.nissan.co.jp/MUSEUM/SKYLINE/ Apologies if this has been posted before...

Heres a link to the nissan museum website - for Silvia. The last link on the left panel brings you to the page to download the Silvia Hisotry Timeline Screensaver. Pretty cool. :jawa: http://www.nissan.co.jp/MUSEUM/SILVIA/

That's a good looking Accord...what year is it?

DRIFTT - Is this what you're talking about? Evidence? I suppose RAWS need to purchase the packages in order to comply vehicles? http://www.raws.com.au/packages2.html Which workshop are you with?

I personally think that the ADR is crap...i wonder if it has been strictly applied to all local cars? :flamer:

Does anyone know when the S15 compliance plates will be available? :run:

Some alarms come with shock sensors for your side windows...so the speaker looking thingy maybe it...I know mine has one for the window...if you arm the alarm and tap on the window the alarm will go off.
