Speedway Pal - Display Chassis

Want to display your model 1/10 shelf queen body. Mine has been getting destroyed. The super GT fender has broken off this one. Fixable but annoying.

You might want to check out the Speedway Pal Display chassis and interior.

Chassis is folded thin ABS plastic. and wheel cups are nothing special.

interior kind of resembles an R3X series GT-R but the detail is seriously lacking.

Heavily tinted windows are a must here. I'll be mounting the interior in my RX7 after a few mods.

worth a look, it's cheap. $25 in Japan. Wheels not included of course.

Aki's R33 - Complete?

Ok, It's done...

N1 Muffler and Carbon surround. Brings the rear back to reality.

Still really needs the outline of the rear lights taped up... can't find my tape.

Side profile shows the size of these HPI rims. Mazzive.
Front splitter is trimmed and coated with old carbon sticker...

How long will it stay stuck is anyone's guess.

Couple of minors still missing. They will come together in time. but the biggest detail at the moment is the rear light outline. The trunk gap is quite defined on the R33. I think this adds to the design of the rear that isn't replicated at the moment.

Small mines sticker also not present.

Aki's R33 GT-R Wheel Comparo


TE37 Bronze... is there anything better...?

Chrome Work Emotion CR-Kai maybe?

Rays CE28N perhaps?

How about Enkei NT03?

Rays GT-S Red Chrome for bling?

Big FAT RE-30 super dish offset. (they don't actually fit.)

Can't go past Advan RS, can you? Maybe chrome??

Finally, these are the grip wheels in my friends Kit. Enkei RP-01 with thick slick tyres.

Still very cool.

GTR34 Loctite...


R33 GT-R "Loctite & Nissan Football Club - Yokohama Marinos" Stickers found a new home. This will be a basher body for my friend. I never use this R34 Super GT so it is going to become a basher. (still looks good though.)


Re-drilled for Tamiya chassis. Below wheels are hpi grip tyres for testing. Actual tyres are Tamiya Enkei RP01 Style from the R33 kit. Livery was changed a little to match the different lines of the GTR-34 but it was pretty close.
