R34 Z-Tune

Just wondering what company would be better to buy this from? Tamiya has it and also has the P/E parts for it and Acu-Stion has P/E parts for it too. Aoshima also has the Z-tune. Who usually does a better job or making real cars. Im asking cause i have a mag with lots of reference pics and It would be kinda cool to superdetail (to my skill level) the Z-tune. Anyone with any insight into this can you help me out?

Tamiya kit and Tamiya PE will be the ideal. Also the Tamiya kit has a really good looking (probably the best) set of the Nismo LM-GT4 wheels. IMO, the Tamiya kit is worth the money just for that wheels.

Aoshima might have the probelm with the rear bumper as with their other Skylines.

the Tamiya kit will have more "support" for example "after-market parts". but Aoshima will probably offer an easily adjustable ride height but i would go with the Tamiya.

Re: R34 Z-Tune

I would go with the Tamiya. One thing that I noticed is that the exhaust is wrong as with the additonal suspension braces (or lack thereof). There are other little things but all in all Tamiya would be the way to go.

Re: R34 Z-Tune

I always found the Aoshima GT-R to be too short in height or too wide; something. It just didn't look proportinally correct, and the molding didn't seem as sharp. The Aoshima kit looks "softer" to me, and I would get the Tamiya kit because it is sharper and looks more correct for it.
