Just got a Nissan GTR by JADA. surprisingly, it looks pretty well detailed. for $38CAD, it isn't "Autoart Quality" but it is better than Maisto. ^_^

Features:
rotating discs
semi-3D engine "Not like Maisto's flat plastic engine"
removable rear bumpers
most parts looks correct in terms of dimension
Painted gun-metal grey wheels "AA GTR did not paint it"

Faults:
Wheels don't turn left, right
Some parts of paint feels thin and some bit of over paint
foggy window "Don't know if it's just only mines"
No Nissan badge on wheels
Missing Brembo badge

It's pretty good car for the money. people who don't want to pay 100+ for a GTR can get this. just do some bit of modding and it should be a pretty detailed GTR

What I'm doing to my GTR:
Put carpets in interior and trunk
find Brembo decals
Carbon Fibre decals

Here are some pics

I will take more pics outside so you all can get better views of it.

If you have any questions, ask.

Very nice! Looks like a very nice replica of the R35.

More pics outside. Seriously, everytime I look at it, it looks a bit like AA built quality.

This last picture I like how the headlights reflected :biggrin:

If there is a side you wish to see, I will take more

if you have any comments about the pictures please do, I want to improve at taking pictures properly.

You should paint the middle portion aluminum since that's how it is on the 1:1 car. If you get some CF decals put some on the rear diffuser like I did on mine.

JADA makes toys. I would shell out the dough for the AA or even the Kyosho any day of the week over that. The engine and interior is awful and the paint is horrid. Sorry, just my opinion.
