Assembling Arms

 As mentioned in previous post, the instruction is not clear.  Here is the example. 

 

It suggested put A8-16 straight into the arm. However, it wouldn’t work.  

You need to slide the A8-16 into the pocket then push into the arm

 Save some time. Assemble two arms at the same time. 

Very detail and requires some skills to build. The instruction is not easy to follow.

LEGO FAST and FURIOUS Nissan Skyline GT-R R34

This is a very popular set. 

After one month waiting, I finally received it and would like to share some detail about this car!

The rear!  It has classic 4 circle lights. All GT-R has this feature.  In the movie, it has Florida license plates, so does this set

Next. It MUST have - nitro tanks.   Once the drive pushed the bottom from the steering wheel, the car just went super fast and furious! 

One more thing. GT-R is a 2 door sport car, but it can fit 4 people. So this set does provide tiny rear seat with blue color  :) 

Wahaha!  

The most important thing in this set, I personally think, is the GT-R logo in the front.  I like what Lego did for this logo. It was printed not a sticker. Although it is tiny logo in this set, it have silver "GT" and a red "R" on it.  COOL! 

The last thing I have is Lego can add flat covers on the top of the engine hood. It will make the car look even nicer! 

  

LEGO FAST and Furious series. Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 (2 Fast 2 Furious)

 Lego has released a Fast and Furious car -1970 Dodge Charger in both technic and Speed champion series. 

They just released another supercar - Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. You can find all the information about this car online. Some people even call this car - Godzilla. You can find this car in this link: My favorite part of 2 Fast and 2 Furious.

There are four japanese race cars in this clip. Four classic cars

- Nissan GT-R R34

- Toyota Supra

- Mazda RX-7

- Honda S2000

R34 !!  You are the best !! 

US has 25-year rule to import exotic cars. R34 is produced in 1999. It means you can legally import it in 2024, next year. I read car news that you can reserve one in 2021 and costs about $80K. If you want to reserve one this year, it might cost $100K.  Anyway, I hope the R36 can have retro style like R34. 

Anyway, here are some photos about this lego kit. The image source is from Lego.com

It has the stickers on doors just like in the movie. However, there are several stickers missing on the engine hood. For interior, it has the sport car seat and two bottles of Nitrous gas. The license plate is FL issued. 

I placed the order on 1/1/2023 and finally received after ~3 weeks. Will post some pictures later to share :)
