Default My new Nismo that came in a box, not on a trailer.

Spent about 110 on this model and I love it. I collect diecast cars as a hobby I have around 80 now and am running out of room but this nismo is definitely my favorite along with the supra. The supra was was most expensive purchase. They are hard to find it cost me around 270 but that baby stays in a dust proof case.

anyway here are the pics.










The nismo model car is officially the fairlady z 380rs. That is why it doesnt have the dark wheels and no red seats. It only comes in silver or white. And the official color of the car is pearl white, it isnt PPW.

If you want me to take any pics at other angles let me know.

Hope you guys enjoyed

Cheaper than on ebay. I wish they had red. I'm thinking of taking mine to a body shop and having them spray it nogaro red.

My neighbor has a Lamborghini Gallardo and he has is 2 tone where the top is black and bottom half is orange and i bought him the diecast version of his car and he had is painted to match his real car and it looks really nice.

Very nice model! I wish they had one in MB!

During 07-08 there were only just over 1600 cars made. I am not sure the exacty number.

I wonder how many of those are left! Every wreck, my car because rarer and rarer, but it's still sad to see a NISMO wrecked.

I love Tamiya models.

but Autoart is badass for diecast. I still have a Porsche 911 GT2 (993 style!) laying around somewhere.
