hey guys before this thread dies, i have some questions,

the main one being how do you lower suspension evenly, i tried when i built a silvia for my gf and it failed miserably, all uneven and the partss woudlnt glue back on right, any suggestions?

i want to know this before i build my next kit,

any other tricks you guys wanna sharee???

I made up my own front suspension arms and glued then to the disc brake to lower the front of an r32 GTR I'm building.

Just cut off the standard suspension and kept the hub, disc, top of suspension and steering knuckle. Steering still works!

The back was just glueing up some of the spruce to make up new suspension arms as well.

Sorry no pics atm as I'm 16,000km from home.

aoshima do them check out www.hlj.com

where do you get extra body parts like bodykits from? anyone know of any place that sells gts-t skylines in series 2 if possible? found series 1 on hlj.com but no series 2 and no email for them

Nice collection mate!

Thanks! I've been collecting GT-Rs for a few years now. I like to think that my diecast collection is pretty decent. Some of the early 1:43 Ebbro R32 GT-Rs have remained out of my reach, but thankfully they have re-released them with a new (and superior) mould.

Nice mate. I've just started my collection of 1:18 diecast models aswell, and just purchased this Norev Porsche RS Spyder from France, so hopefully it arrives soon :D

Anyone know where I can find D1 diecast 1:18 or 1:24 models cars?

I recently purchased a HKS S15 and Apexi FD RX7 (both 1:24 scale) from Hobbyco here in Sydney..

edit: here's a quick crappy pic from a while ago of them... it's a bit overexposed i'll take proper pics when i can be bothered

    • The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.    
    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
