Sorry to hear about the car dude. Hope it all work out. I also had a near miss incident in the rain about 1 month after I got the car. Was gonna make a right turn in 2nd gear, I got the radio on so couldnt hear the engine. Boost kicked in at about 2200 and the car spun sideway and missed the kerb by few inches. Was extremely lucky and this was when my car was near stock!! Anyway I learned the lesson, beside not turning on the radio too loud during the rain I'm also using 3rd gear whenever making a turn. Boosts in the rain = accident . . .

near misses always make me s#$t myself.

As for choice of repairer, im not sure if they do. Either way i think the front bar will need replacing, as the fibreglass was cracked all the way through (even picked up a chunk of it off the road), so i posted on the R31 club forum to see where i could get replacement bits n pieces, if needbe.

JeeTeeEss25Tee, unfortunately, i learnt the hard way that boost + rain + oil/grease = ARRGGHHH

I just can't wait to see her again and look into her eyes n hear her voice :P ... I should write a novel

times like that i wish i had a T88 on the side of that RB20, atleast i'd have to be revving it for it to spool up bigtime n get it sideways or something (granted it probably would if i was giving it in a straight line on a really rainy day) so atleast then i know i was being a dick and can blame myself :D

      C-red tuning?

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
