umm Jamezilla, if ur in melbourne, theres no need to get one from that ebbro site. i've bought a R34 calsonic GTR for around $40 from Big W. For more variety u can get the same thing at the hobby shop on lonsdale st. costs you from $50 - $60. still cheaper than $70.

Turtle:

Thanks - will have to pop in next time I am in the city.

Was there a couple of months back looking at RC cars - keen for a gas powered one, but not sure I want a race-track only one :

I have got quite a few

you can buy die-cast 1:18 scale R34's from most hobby shops, as well as plastic kits. Diecast stuff is usually $80+ and the plastic kits can be had for about $30.

i currently have 5 group A 1:18 R32's, 2 1:18 R34's, 1 1:12 (huge) palstic 32 GTR and about 10 smaller palstic skylines, great fun, and they look good - they are also cheaper than the real thng

Best place to try is your local hobby store, or ebay

yer as the other guys (and gals:) ) have already mentioned, going down to your local hobby shop or even target/kmart etc.. will be the best and easiest way to get model skylines.

im pretty sure you can even get a tamiya remote control r34 (more likely from a hobby shop). you can just buy the kit without the remote which would be pretty awesome, not to mention how much fun putting together a model car is, especially a remote control car.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
