Diecast 5th Generation Model

Anyone know where I may find a 5th generation diecast model car? I searched all over the internet and couldn't find anything...

Thanks,
Tito

Re: Diecast 5th Generation Model

I doubt there will ever be any kind of die-cast or plastic model of the Maxima, especially since most of the world just sees it as a regular 4-door sedan, not an enthusiasts' car.

From my searches, I've only come up with the following:

1) Plastic model kit of an old Cefiro.
2) Two different plastic model kits of the previous generation Cefiro wagons.

If you want plastic model kits of the current Skyline GT-R (R34) V-Spec, current Silvia (S15), the previous generation Z (300ZX Turbo), and the current generation Z (350Z), you have quite a few choices. But for most of Nissan's sedans, forget about it.

Remote Control Skyline

Diecast 350z

Check eBay for diecast Skyline models, I think I've seen them before.

Yeah, last year when I had my 94, I found a 92 Die cast on eBay... but I didn't buy it because it was an old dealer's desk model and looked like crap..

My buddy drives a 99 blazer and he found a die cast of his truck, and asked me if I found one for mine, and I didn't think they made them...

If you want nice plastic model kits you can build, try out this site:

www.hlj.com

Lots of stuff from Japan. It's a great source for things like that.

Peace.

Yep. I'll be getting the model kits of the Skyline GT-R V-Spec II, Ferrari Testarossa (my favorite Ferrari), 300ZX Turbo, 350Z Track, CR-X Del Sol VXi, S15 Silvia Spec R Aero, and the Today G from the anime series "You're Under Arrest." I love this site!
