Cool cars guys...
I too collect 1:18 scale cars. I have about 30 of all makes from the AC Cobra to the Muira Lambo from the late 60's. I collected 1:24 for the longest time, but then started with the other scale in the early 90's. I pretty much have every exotic from the 80's thru the 90's. One of my favorites is my Pantera GTS that Hotwheels started producing, awesome
Anyway, I decided to buy a small Z before I bought the real thing and costomize it with tuner parts from another car kit. I couldn't find a moderately priced CS track with tuner parts. So I chopped and modified my own This is what it looks like. I swapped the seats, floor mats, nav system, stereo, wheels and put some NOS in there It's pretty cool actually. I'd like my real one to look like it someday. I already bought the VOLKS SF's so at least I've started... Here's a before and after shot.

I have all of the ones you have. Make sure you keep the JADA cars clean and there boxes. They have been pulled and are going to be very rare. The 1 18th and the 1 24th have a decal that NISSAN did not like so JADA has stop producing them. Also looks like you are missing T03-35 or T03-29 from the Muscle Machines Tuner series. You can pick one up at 1stopdiecast.
Also Maisto have a Silver 1 18th and Hot Wheels make the Gunmetal gray color. That should add one more Z to your 1 18th collection.

BAD BAD NISSAN!!! I had them send me a UPS return label to send it back.
If you want an Auto Art 350Z (best quality), you can order it for $59.00 +shipping from Freshalloy: http://store.freshalloy.com/35118scaldie.html You can also go directly to Auto Art and check out their great selection: http://www.autoartmodels.com/main.html
If you are looking for a bargain go to Radio Shack on the net: http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2131057
They sell a 3" long plastic 35th anniversary (silverstone). When you press on the top the motor starts and revs. If you pick it up it will squeal tires and rev up....all for $1.47. The detail btw is quite nice, and the price is unbeatable. I bought 2...they are soooo cute.
The cost of shipping was more than the two cars. I was thinking a buying a few dozen more, and opening up my own miniature Nissan dealership. LOL (only kidding of course).

I just received the black AutoArt track model last week. Very nice and is still on sell for $39 (was $58.45).
I knew pretty much what I was getting (thanks to this board) but I was amazed at the underbody detail - exhaust, sway bars, suspension etc.
I even waxed it to remove my fingerprints and enhance the shine.
