saru88: hehe as u can see in the pictar...

Blank19: bingo!

kabuto rider kick: yup... its a life-size GTR, juz playing around with peace sign...

subaru22b: pls put spoiler when replying posts with pictures... thanks!

i apologize for my delay on my GTR post, 'thanks' to the Mail Centre here in Kuching... perhaps this is my most controversial purchase in my diecast history, but wat an experience! hope its not too late to have another wave of GTR heat... i try to post it in chapters, coz the R35 is juz too photogenic, every angle makes the car look like an art... definitely not a regret by purchasing this model...

Chapter I: the leGend has To be - Real

saru88 & gha4 & quiksilve & myke: thanks guys! the car itself is stunning oredi, so no matter wat angle u shoot it, it will still look nice...

kabuto rider kick: thanks! yea, i only use the glass surface for photoshoot on some special cars... normally lazy to carry the glass from the living room all the way to the wet kitchen... n yea, perhaps next online purchase is through express, oso better not to use TT transfer...

subaru22b: well, spoiler is to help u to make ur reply on post with pictures shorter, so tat u don have to scroll all the way down while looking at the pictures over and over again... juz highlight the image BB codes then click on the SPOILER on top...

for example: pictures with SPOILER (it saves a lot of space)

tkt: don think it will make its way here to malaysia since its specially produced for Japanese market only... even if so, i guess they will jack up the price to heaven!


Chapter II: Special Features of the GTR

one of the best features is the much realistic looking opening hinges when u open the bonnet and boot, its a very awesome feeling when u can keep discovering great new features while checking on this GTR...

on the 3rd picture, if u look carefully, u can check out this PREMIUM MIDSHIP at the back of the bonnet cover, which is a superb job done by Autoart regarding its detail quality...

on the 4th picture, u can oso check out the CARBON FIBRE COMPOSITE written in front of the engine... i made a circle on tat part, hopefully its visible... this is another great detail work from aa again...

more details, check out here: http://features.gtrforums.com/article.php?id=8

thanks guys... hope u enjoy the shots and hope the shots can inspire u sth, like owning one urself... bout the red GTR, i saw one here, however its not my cup of tea unless its a Premium Edition, after all, Chinese New Year is over yo...

JtuneD: thanks and my oh my... i dono wat crystals are those, but this is the most expensive Maisto i ever seen!

quiksilve: same reaction as tkt, 2nd movie is out???


Chapter III: Godzilla from the Land of the Rising Sun

more detail shots on the black Godzilla...



















the best is yet to come... stay tuned!

thanks guys!

kabuto rider kick: well spot on the image bro! actually on the 3rd pic i was using my videocam to shoot, coz my digicam fails to take some very close shots especially on the GTR emblems... once i try to zoom in and focus the emblem, the image becomes blur... as for the videocam manages to offer some great zoom-in focus quality, but the image quality is not tat good from videocam, so i try to increase the contrast to make look a bit "dirty" and "speedy" effect lor...

JtuneD: wow... a whole box full of GTRs... this should be one pretty rare and valuable collectibles eh... the limited edition sure adds great value to the models... u got it here from malaysia?


Chapter IV: The Generations of GT-R (Part 1)

been waiting for these shots all these months since the release of the R35... was hoping any makers produce the R33 in order to complete my modern GTR collection...

thanks guys! glad tat u enjoy the shots...

JtuneD: well, i have no idea why no 1/18 R33 is produced... perhaps the R33 is not tat popular among the GTR series... after all, Autoart and other diecast makers are mostly profit oriented... which car makes the most money, then they will produce tat car model...

fuminari: nice close focus shots... ur using DSLR?


Chapter IV: The Generations of GT-R (Part 2)

R33 where are you???


















A Godzilla is preparing to eat another Godzilla

hope u guys enjoy the shots as much as i shoot them myself...

as for my case, i didnt use any wax or polish liquid coz i dono which one is good which is harmful... but i juz simply wipe them with soft tissue paper (Kleenex is better)... n i never leave my fingerprint on the car... i usually use tissue paper to carry the cars around... n use a moped to clean off the dust...

its a chinese brush pen... chinese we call MAO BI, so if change to english, the closest sound is moped, although its actually a scooter...

heres the image...

leroy87: havent heard any liquid... but wax will do...

advocado: yea... i was told not to use tissue paper... perhaps cotton wool would be a great alternative to clean the surface eh... i only manage to spot the ER34 Sedan from D1 GP... its a 1/24 scale from Hotworks...

haha guys, looks like my plan is working! in fact, the black one i got it here in Kuching (unable to resist the black one at first sight!), as for the white one, i got it from online purchase, same as kabuto's... it was a controversial purchase throughout the process due to TT problem n custom issues... but i really wana thank REAL in guiding me throughout the process, n credits go to REAL n Mr. Lam!

sorry for not telling earlier as i got the black one earlier than the white one... so couldnt reveal anything bout the white yet... secondly, juz to bring a little surprise here...

white GTR... go!


Chapter V: The Godzilla Turns WHITE

the 1st pic, as u can see, DITAHAN OLEH KASTAM... tats the reason y i cant get the car before CNY... so for online purchase, i suggest u not to use TT, use paypal or credit card instead... n visit the Mail Centre from time to time... coz the online parcel status never update... n u wont know tat ur parcel has arrived earlier than u think...











step into the world of GT-R







juz to clarify things a bit... in fact, aa does include the gas n brake pedals for the car... coz last time we were unable to spot the pedals from the pictures of aa website...




more pics to come... stay tune!

actually i got the GTR earlier this month, but it was consider long as the customs were actually not doing their job... the parcel was actually arrived on 21st Jan... n it juz sat there in the store room with no updates... until i went there and told them the parcel code they baru got it for me...

so instead of calling to the Mail Centre or check the online parcel status via website, its better to physically go to the Mail Centre urself and tell them the parcel code... let the post officers n custom know u, then things can be done a little bit easier...

hi guys!!! been busy lately.. n sorry for the sudden MIA of the GTR photos... will find some time to continue the shots asap...

n myke, u have made the impossible... possible!!! very nice model there... lovely!!!

sorry for the long long delays... the GTR is not worth till RM580 now... price usually ranging from RM430 to RM450 the most... RM580 is way too over the line...

Chapter VI: The Return of the White GTR

wow... been away a couple of days n its so happening here! thanks guys for the compliments... n great collection there!

REALCollector: havent seen u for quite a time eh... where u got ur v8 supercars? the ozs are really crazy bout this event eh... juz like the nascar in america... unfortunately i didnt bring any cars to aussie coz my backpack is full after putting in my jacket... but the scenery here is perfect in every angle, lots of spots for great diecast photoshoot... but...... i saw an R8 from Maisto here cost A$100!

n sweet evo pair!!! btw, do hang around here from time to time le... awesome race car pics!!!

myke: same goes to u man... we are juz waiting for ur arrival on ur Kyosho GTR and make a comparison then...

ericmaxman: never realize tat the Challenger has black color from Maisto... i used to see them in either orangy red n yellow color nia... izit a concept version or production version? do u plan to unscrew the models for display?

Chapter Finale: The Return of the White GTR
