What size di you want?
If you're talking about pre-1980's 1/64, get Tomica Vintage.
It's so damn good!

For 1/18 it's a close tie between CMC and Exoto. Auto Art is the best for value for money.

I saw your Porsche 911 vintage tomica... And it looked amazing, all that detail.. But you pay for it ofc
I guess I'm thinking matchbox sized as they are easier to collect and store in quantity

Well, yeah it's expensive.
But that's because i bought that after it was discontiued, plus it's imported from Japan.
But i once paid 6 bucks for this 912. All you need to find is the right shop.

There are a ton of great 1/43s from all sorts of companies. Some of my favorites are Spark, ixo, Schuco, PremiumX, and HPI Racing. I get most of mine from eBay.
I've got my eye on these right now

To bad they don't have any 350Z's..been on the look out for a good diecast Z

Well if you ever do decide to get one of the HPIs, I have 5 and I'm extremely happy with all of them. As far as 350Zs go, try looking at Ebbro.

I have a 1/43 Ebbro of my Miata, and while its not the best detail, its not bad. Decent for the price.
Theres also this J-collection. I have no experience with them, but seems like they would probably be on the same level as Ebbro based on the price.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2212280936
Or you could (and should) go for this awesome J-collection set of 8!
