yay I know what I can ask for for Christmas! They would look great next to the 3 other z's I have displayed on my desk here at work.... I would really like a red one to match my car.

AutoArt along with several other mfgts. cost more because they specialize in highly detail parts, paints, logo's, painted numbers, quailty interiors, engine bays, tires & etc. As an example...AutoArt is the only one that makes the Z with the antenna. They also have the front license plate of which I really don't care for. There is a big difference in quality.
Some times you can buy other brands like Maisto, Hot Wheels, Route 66, American Muscle (Ertl), Bburago, Signature, Anson, CeYat Ming, Mira, Revell, Sun Star, MRC, Motor Max, Corgi, Match Box, Dub City, U T Models, Club Majorette, Racing Champions for $9.99 each when they go on sale at Big Lots or Kay Bee Toy stores.
Companies like AutoArt, BBR, IXO, Jouef, Bean Stalk Group, MiniChamps, Exoto, Exact Detail, Carousel 1, & Kyosho are the producers highly detailed quality of scale cars, bikes, truck models & accessories.

So there is a BIG difference!

BTW I'm still waitin' on my 1/18 scale model of my SB ZR!
AutoArt is suppose to come out with one......
It's been on order for almost 2 years over at www.diecastmuscle.com
Good Luck!

Those are the muscle machines and and another brand I forgot...not as detailed as Auto art, I own 15 of them at a price between $65 to $115 each ...plus $50 for the glass case (not plexi) on some of them.

Anyone know where to find a silver one with black interior? All I can find are the ones with the burnt orange. I have a collection of all of the cars I have owned in die-cast form and the 350Z is missing as well as the G35.

I have the model straight from nissan. It is the nismo s tune in silver. Not a bad price either. Not as nice as the autoart stuff though.

I picked the FairladyZ roadster Hotwheels size for 9 bucks in Taiwan. They gave me the wrong box though...
