Fitting Female Rims to a Tamiya Supra










How to fit female (Fujimi-Aoshima) wheels to the back of a Tamiya
Toyota Supra.

Take the rear dif and cut of the drive shafts, drill the dif out as shown with the red circle with a 2.5mm drill.
Using a 2mm dia steel bar (like you get in a Tamiya 350Z kit) fit thro' the dif. and cut to length to suit your needs. (wide arches or not)
I have used Fujimi Brembo brakes, but I'm sure SAS's new brakes will work as well and look better.
Assemble as shown

Hope this is of some use to you guys

The Fujimi wheel set I got before (Yes, only on Fujimi kit) had little pin things in it, like most fujimi kits do. You could most likely use that by drilling a hole through the brakes and fitting the pin like you would in a normal Fujimi kit.

Hey Steve, that's a pretty good way to go about it. You're effectively turning a Tamiya kit into a Fujimi kit.

Great idea, I must try that.

Thanks for sharing.

Would this work for a Skyline, too? I've got some Workmiesters that i'd like to fit onto the model, and don't really want to go through all the trouble of converting it from female to male.
