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

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
