Calsonic Impul GT-R (R35)

After i finally got my long search Calsonic Z, i found another target of getting the whole Calsonic team!

LOL..the hunting never ends..anyway here is the second Calsonic car i got recently..The GT-R!!

Actually i got poisoned by my friend Loon who posted a picture of his Xanavi team.

and since i already got the Z, why not i just start with the calsonic team? lol

GT-R looks best in "corner baring" style indeed! heh

Really need to sharpen my photoshop skills, 

radial blur + motion blur not enough to make it looks cool XD

The body kit looks just like the Motul Autech version i talked about earlier

At first i thought the decal is different for both cars..but nooo~ i was wrong.

turned up there's a variation for the GT-R with the exact same decals of the Z!

NO, im not gonna get it..haha!

Side by side with the Motul GT-R..really cool stuff!

mmm could have been better looking with a better camera...argh~ can't wait to get one!

So, which JGTC team livery u guys like and want to collect most? =)

Tomica Limited #0013: Nissan Skyline GT-R (R-32)

Hi guys! it has been a while..to my Muslim friends, Selamat Menyambut Maulidul Rasul..hope u had enough time to selawat for him..heheh..Anyway Got this car from a friend for a very good price considering it's a very hard to find model now..hope he will not regret after see my pics..hehehe :P

love it when they used to include the metal plate with the car.

looks nice when displayed together with the car

both front and back lights are in clear parts..

which is not common in TL nowadays sadly

I find the side mirrors look funny though..

but again even having side mirrors is considered a gift in current models..haha

Another reason to like it is because it's in black! 

why black? because i like the R32 featured in Initial D =)

Sad to see the lack of details in scale model cars lately though the price keep increasing..i dont mind paying a little bit more for a good quality stuff, rather than buy but then regret. ^^

Calsonic 350Z

After such a long search..i got it! not that its very hard to find but the prices set for it are always high and ridiculous...luckily found it at amcorp at a good price. Before i was aiming for the Tomica Limited version but that was pure impossible now so this one will do. Actually, this one is even better IMO. Enjoy the pics!

Then i found out that there is actually a variant for this car..mine was a release from 2006 while the other one is from 2004..the one in 2004 has decals at the tires but lack the windscreen decals.

Below is the comparison with the 2007 Nismo test car..even the body kit is different..proof that kyosho really take serious attention to details and just not recolor using the same casting over and over again.

Followed by a comparison with the casting of tomica calsonic 350z..the TL version is using the same casting as the regular thus this comparison is valid..kyosho's casting accuracy is a lot better here

The reason for the good price i got is probably because its in loose condition..but then if the BIB condition will cost u like XX more than there is no point to it..better get myself a rm5 daiso case instead ^_^

anyway glad that the search for this one is over! 

Nissan Skyline GT-R R34

R34 is one of my favorite sports car and also loved by all JDM enthusiast.
therefore i always looking for the most perfect casting of this model in the scale of 1/64 to add to my collection..my 1st casting of the car was from Jada, which was bigger than average 1/64 cars with interesting decals but unfortunately the IMO not really perfect.
then came Hot Wheels and despite it being in the cheaper range, the casting is really good but lack some details..one day i was looking at ebay i finally found a really good and almost perfect casting of R34,
and it is from Tamiya..and here it is!

comes in a box with base

Superb detailing

also with opening doors!

One thing though the size of this is quite small compared to other brands..not sure which one is accurately following the 1/64 scale..i find the kyosho version alittle similar but not with the opening doors thus making tamiya the winner of them all. anyway for some comparisons;

You might wanna say what about Tomica Limited version of the car? IMHO the casting of TL is surprisingly disappointing..while the TL certainly a keeper for its popularity and value, but the accuracy of the casting is not really to my liking...how about you? from which brand do you think has the best R34 casting in 1/64 scale in your collection?

Motul Autech GT-R

After my 1st purchase of the Nismo Z few months back, i was totally in love with kyosho 1/64..the level of detailing is irresistible indeed! One of my main target then was this Motul GT-R..really glad i finally have it in hand, and at a good price too! thanks to my friend Kendrew frome Diecast Empire :D
Now let the pictures do the poisoning!! :D

though i've been referring it as Motul Autech GT-R, the one stated here is different..not sure if the naming is correct..anyway like any other kyosho, this one comes with a base, but not with the box..only a hard plastic cover as enclosure..probably because its from a "tikam" set.

(or in english is called random set or blind set? not sure ^ ^ ;)

look at the sheer details and paint job, the previous me would not be able to tell whether this is a 1/64 or not..really awesome stuff :D

The one thing I'm wondering here is what is the logo at the side represents? if u ask me, it looks more like my local school badge..hahah

close up on the detailing..click for bigger images

Never get tired of this :)

Totally no regret in getting this one..i guess i'll really start collecting kyosho 1/64 now..but probably will focus on the GT cars cuz this is where kyosho's superiority in detailing shines! Poisoned? i hope u are :P

Yellow Hat YMS Supra

Before i know of Kyosho/Tamiya/Muscle Machine, Tomica Limited has been my target for Super GT cars, but with being Really Limited, its almost impossible to get them especially after u missed the wave few years back.
The TL Super GT have been selling locally since probably 5 years ago but at the time diecast hobby was not really popular. only now new collectors like myself trying hard looking for it everywhere..LOL

Anyway got this from an online seller.
he was selling it in a good price too.

adding radial+motion blur seems like is becoming a habit now..hmmm

mmm wonder how many of you fancy such weird exhaust placement? heheh

unlike other cars from tomica, the Super GT cars do not have any open-able parts.
but it doesn't matter because the car itself is already a great collector item.
the only difference is now that i know there are many more manufacturers producing GT cars,
it will not be impossible to collect them anymore. :)

Nismo Z Test Car

Finally, after keep being poison by my friend ADvedder and Lkwanz from HWCM,
I got my first kyosho diecast! LOL.
Kyosho is well known for its superiority in detailing and accuracy of its products; on par with minichamps, autoart etc. The level of quality you would expect from their 1:18 scale cars is not missing even in their 1:64 scale cars. Anyway let my pictures do the poisoning now :P

the back looks like a batman car..lol

There are two versions of this one with one being the 2005 test car and the other is 2007, mine is the 2007 which i think has slightly more tampo on the casting.
anyway since it's a test car, u will not find much sponsor decals on it.


size comparison with Tomica version of the casting. A bit smaller than the Tomica but the accuracy of the kyosho is definitely top notch! I dont have the Tomica Limited version to compare but it still uses the same casting as the regular tomica so this comparison is acceptable.



I have to admit though Kyosho cars are not cheap.
if I am really gonna collect kyosho cars I'll hafta leave the others..heheh
this one though, i grabbed it from HLJ during their sale..it certainly worth it..
hope more Kyosho cars will be put on sale in the coming months! :P

Muscle Machines: Daishin Advan Silvia

Another casting from the same Super GT series from Muscle Machines.
just like the previous ones..its awesome!

Tomica Limited #0109 370Z

I think this car was quite limited..it was here in Malaysia for quite a while and gone in a few weeks..
i don't see it on the shelves at any departmental stores anymore.
certainly deserves the title limited..heheh
anyway enjoy the pics!




trying some tricks on wheels spin and motion effects..heh :P


followed by the pic being altered by my friend "qombee"..really cool!!
it looks like the car fall on a milk splat..LOL :D


comparison with the 2010 hot wheels premiere version posted earlier :D

And Lastly a wallpaper!! click for the original size (1024x768 only though)



that's all for the day! :)
