Hey guys,

My girlfriend wants to make a cake and wants a small skyline model to put on it, anything where she wants to get involved with skylines im happy to accommodate.

I searched on ebay, international ebay, google and looked on these forums and nothing was cheap enough/small enough or threads were old etc..

If someone could point me in the right direction of a cheap(under $30) model place or website that would be great.

I would like:

-White

-R33, Gtr or gtst doesn't matter

-small... like hot wheels size.

Thanks for the help.

P.S Sorry if this is a bad section to put this in.

just sharing some information for others who might be looking for something similar,

r34 gtr at 1:12 (iirc) and 1:24 available at harbor town docklands, in one of those souvenir shops.

iirc $10 for the 1:12 and $30 for the 1:24.

i've got the 1:24 and it comes with 4 spare wheels and an extra carbon fibre bonnet, with a screw driver included!!!

Out here in Croydon there is a train hobby shop just off Dorset road, and down the back they have little cars you can buy to go on the train set. They have a jap car section. No GTR's, but they do have c110 skylines, and R32 GT 4 doors with hubcaps and all, and in hot wheels size.

My son has a collection on his shelf of every skyline you can get from safeway ETC. All are R32, R34 and R35, I have never seen R33 Hotwheels cars.

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
