Part 6 - A look back into time - The Archives circa post 1996, showcasing my next craze, the R33 GTRs.
At one point I had 6 NIB body sets, 3 in which were sacrificed in the name of racing and 2 still in my collection (a Purple new built and an NIB) and one was given to my little cousin brother for his 14th birthday in 1997).
Next in Part 7: The Deutsche Touring showcase...
- Last surviving built example
- The black Knight Rider
- The Grey Goose

Again, awesome shots! Do you remember what body and lens(es) you were using?

@ Origineelreclamebord: The camera is a Nikon F50 Film with optional extra Nikon 80-105mm lens, and if i'm not wrong a filter which I can't remember what brand as it is. Films used for regular daylight are 100's with up to 200-400's for lower light conditions, hope that helps

Fantastic, they are so rare now

Thanks guys! Yes rare they are nowadays and I'm hoping Tamiya would re release them, so liked the shape of the R33's.

would be cool drift cars!!!

@ TheOtherRacingGreen: I actually used to love drifting the tourings back then. Used the normal threaded Tamiya tires, lots of power and near locked up rear diff did the trick! The ride height you see in the photo shoots were pretty much what I ran with and can be evident on the body mounts not protruding out of the body. I was pedantic about scale realism either racing on track or high-speed runs on straight street roads!

Awesome scale realism. I'll be going for something very similar with my R32 tuner transformation and this will definitely serve as inspiration.

@R/CVET: R32 another legend, the big daddy GTR! Looking forward to your pics!
