As far as the body kit and the 4-Motion correct drivetrain goes, no, no one has made one. But it wouldnt be impossible to modify a V-5 or V-6 to look like one. Look at the Tamiya and Fujimi kits.

Well, someone is attempting it. Just a little slow, have some new updates that i will share this week. Back to 56K slowness so uploading pics stinks. Since i'm injured and won't return to work for about 2 months i will attempt to complete it this month. Hopefully noone beats me to it.



As for your case, they do make a r32 diecast i believe in 1/18 scale. Best bet to make one is like freakmech stated by using a tamiya mk4 golf. With a little bit of work it can be done.

Oh man i wish i new about this one, than i would've maybe used the engine in my tamiya build. I think it would be a little out of scale, but i didn't really see one yet.

Can a moderator move this thread when they get a chance.

Frank, you know that Diecast looks like donkey..... But i guess, it might be salvagiable for a R32?!?

Engine-plate. Not full engine. There's alot on that diecast that looks salvageable tho.

Yeah like those 23" wheels and over sized wheel wells. The over-dimensions of the HxW is pretty nice too. LOL Yeah i just think it looks like a toy... oh wait... it is a toy... doh!

Ok Mr.Chad. lol...bring down your tami golf and the two can compare dress sizes and go to tupperware parties and just have a super time But yea..the sucky part is the few more than stock inch rims..that have the stock look. Nooo good. I've learned to deal with the diecast part over the years.

It looks like unicorns and rainbows Mr. Frank, so who wants tea? Oh, Frank, remember when i told you about this diecast and you didnt believe me when i told you? you kept going on about some MkII or something andi insisted that they were doing an R32? LOL No really, this kit will build up really nice! LOL The front and rear spoiler look spot on so grab a dremel and go to work.
