For a min I thought you own the 35GTR... lolz. Anyway they're very nice cars and there's heaps on SG's road. But with that price, probably very few of us would end up owning 1 even after 10yrs.

Saw a stealth black one when I was at the kiosk once along upper bt timah road and it's the hottest colour I've seen.

they are pretty quick ay? all of us at Northside Nissan had a ride in it when it came to the workshop from Victoria. the braking Gs are stronger than acceleration Gs and even the acceleration is strong enough to force you into your seat. back seats just enough to fit me and im quite short but its quite a nice ride.

there was also one at nissan in wangara, it was a grey one i wanted to go for a ride in it but NO go :P

yep that was the one that came in. unfortunately its not open for a test drive to the public because its only a demonstration model to test our GTR hoist and for the staff to have a look and ride in it. its gone back to Victoria now but when the other 30 comes in, we might put 1 aside for customers to test drive.

I love that car i must say... its in a league of its own now... oh well, praying hard that i will win the lottery!! LOL that orange belongs to the workshop guy. Oh and i saw one in matt black as well but didnt have my camera with me... that was sex on the road!!

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear! Stock quantities: NA1 Honda NSX - 1 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1990-na1-honda-nsx 1973 Toyota Celica LB 2000GT - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1973-toyota-celica-lb-2000gt 1968 Mazda Cosmo Sport - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1968-mazda-cosmo-sport 1970 KPGC10 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1970-kpgc10-nissan-skyline-2000gt-r
