Is it a Jada Toys job? PLEASE SAY YES, I know of a place in Penrith that is having a sale of their stuff.

If it was at Auto Joy in Castle Hill, I'm spewing I didn't see them the other day when I was there.

Oh well, pay week this week, so I might have to go back on the weekend. Here's what I've got now, anyway.

Yessum, s!im and moonie are right, Castle Hil Autojoy ;)

Not really sure what brand, but it says HOTWORKS Racing factory all over the box.

Looks like it's the same one as yours nightcrawler :thumbsup:

I'm guessing Autojoy at Castle Hill will get a few orders now hey? hehehe

yeah the brand is hotworks. they have heaps of different ones. Z-tune GTR, R+S tune GTR, Option Stream Z, RX-7 etc etc. nice toys I bought one of the GTR ones when I was in japan. it was a bitch to carry back with all my other crap. plus it wasn't that much cheaper than here.

hahaha you've even got little PEOPLE!! :)

I've got a purple 1:43 scale R34 GTR (auto art brand)

want to get the same size yellow one, so I've got my 2 fave colours

Can't get the bigger sizes cos I don't have space for them!!

Shell: The little people came with the cars - they're the characters from Initial D...

RIK: That's only part of my collection - I've got a Calsonic R-34 r/c car (approx 1:10 scale) that my friend bought me for Christmas a few years back, it's a cheapo one but it looks accurate.

The little red R-34 in the middle of that shot is an r/c car too, and you can change the suspension and gearing on it, as well as adjust the turning circle on it from the remote...

You guys need to build REAL models... the new Skyline kits from Tamiya are absolutely awesome. They've got the Calsonic Skyline as well and that is hot.

Notably, I still love the Pennzoil Nismo GTR I built years ago :)

$59? You got ripped off dude. I bought an RX7 for myself and another for my mate - they were like $35ea - this was a few months ago though...

i doubt they were genuine hot works models. even in japan they are (from memory) nearly 4000 yen. I know because I've been to a hobby shop there and seen them. if you seriously can get them for $35 I stand corrected, and could you get me an RX-7 one too. for $35 it's too good to say no. :rofl:

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By R3N3 · Posted

      Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
