I get all of my kits from this site.

awesome i have to do a few 430challenge models up for some sponosrs (better than just giving them a picture for their support) and HLJ are out of stock. How long do these guys take to send out the models?

Yeah $150 sounds about right.

You tried the "Hobby Place"

280 - 282 Lonsdale Street

Melbourne, VIC 3000

(Opposite Myer)

Ph: 9663 4407

I bought my Auto Art R34 GTR there, which cost $110 at the time but he sold it to me for $100 cause it was missing the box.

As posted in the other thread in Wasteland...

MY GT-R collection is slowly growing...

AUTOart R32 GT-R police car (limited edition, 1 of 6000) and AUTOart R32 GT-R V-Spec II (in Spark Silver)

These two will be joining the rest in the cabinet once I make room for them. I might also buy some of those 1:18 scale hoists and some tools and mechanics so I can set up a diorama, and it will also save me buying more glass shelves and drilling holes inside the cabinet to mount them...

I'm REALLY tempted to get more police cars (from different prefectures in Japan) and some more race cars, and if I can find more of the V-Spec II R32's around I might try and see if I can get them in all the available colours.

I wish they made a C34 Stagea in 1:18 scale die-cast!

Forget ebay. http://www.hlj.com is what you need.

The Tamiya KPGC10 kit is by far the best. It has full engine and chassis detail ; aoshima and fujimi kits are kerbside (no engine detail, rudimentary chassis), and the interior and exterior detail is also primitive.

However, of course its easier to get those (aoshima, fujimi kits) in the racing versions. There is a ~$75 transkit to turn the tamiya kit into a race version...

Searching KPGC10 on HLJ.com gets you...

http://www.hlj.com/hljlist2/?Dis=-2&fr...chpage=top_page

The Hakosuka kit I'm working on which is posted further up this page is the Tamiya GT-R kit; although the flares, chin spoiler are custom, wheels/tyres by Aoshima, and the engine and oil cooler from Fujimi kits.

Edited by floody

meh

i think i'll start with the bog stock one, then maybe get a racing one

i dont mind kerbside models as i'll most likely just be displaying them in a cabinet anyway

and i dont care if its a KPGC10 or KPGC110 - both are as awesome as each other lol

Fair enough. Just trying to help.

Good choice on the Tamiya one. My gripes with the kerbside fujimi and aoshima ones aren't just about the lack of detail, its also in deformed proportions and such they have.

I buy from HLJ or hobbyworld because I've had nothing but grief from shady Hong Kong ebay sellers.

Yeah, $10 buy it now...$50 to ship it...In a brown paper bag with tape over the end, and labelled as a gift to avoid duties... Bought 3 kits from Honkers, 2 have been crushed, one irretrievably, got sodomised on shipping costs each time, took weeks to ship each time...Never, ever again. In contrast I've had 20+ kits ex-Japan with no problems.

    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
    • A pretty cool little feature discovered while restoring my seats.     
    • Great write ups / details / photos. I'm sort of on the road to E90 ownership (325i or 330i), haven't hit the fork in the road yet "Yes" | "No", and some of the issues you've faced have me nervous for the age these are getting to nowadays (that wiring, jesus), but I'm guessing the pro's of ownership are still outweighing the con's? Of course, if the bloody tattslotto ROI actually went my way...E90 M3. And I'd have the cash to do all the extra lovely maintenance THOSE require. 😄
