Tamiya by a long shot. The fujimi is very lacking in chassis details.

But both kits are curbside, so if you can live with the fixed front wheels, and if Fujimi is "significantly" cheaper than Tamiya, you might want to consider Fujimi, instead. I'm building Fujimi's Nismo R33, and although it needs better rims, the kit itself isn't as horrible as their RX-8 kit.

Re: Skyline R33 GTR V-Spec

yes, Tamiya is way better on comparison. I built a Fujimi R33 and wasn't that thrilled. It was a fun curbside build, but compared to my other skyline builds, the R33 and the R31 (both from fujimi) were lacking interest.

Re: Skyline R33 GTR V-Spec

I have also built both Tamiya and Fujimi R33 kits and find that the Tamiya is far better in everyway. Just take the two and put side by side and you'll see what I mean. That is why I used the Tamiya to do my Nismo 400R by SAS. But the R33 by Fujimi is 1 of the better of the brand's older kits.
