And that was $60,000 in the early 1990's for some of those cars, probably worth a hell of a lot now (inflation an all that.)

You just have to look at some of the features on the cars to see how ahead of the curve they were. Digital dashes, in car Nav/DVD/TV, HUD's, Automatic climate controll and so on. Then there is the mechanical side of it as well, look at how quick the 33 GT-R was around the ring.

someones been in the same thread i have :P

and that is very true, with all the features etc.

Not really anymore further ahead than the equivalent euro of the same era. Certainly further ahead of the aussie fords and holdens but everything else was pretty much on par with them equipment and driveline packages.

price was would say the japs were still ahead equipment and performance wise

as much as I love my quirky eropean performance cars, for the money it's hard to beat late 80s and 90s japanese performance

on an euro note, saw the new Scirocco on the road today. Farking love it. If it wasn't for the kids, the gti would have been traded in for one of those.

yeah they are dam sexy...i thought they werent bringing them into the country?

they are only bringing the one model in

The Scirocco R. Love it

What mid 90's Euro had Navagiation, TV or HUD's? I've never seen an Audi, BMW, Merc etc with any of that gear from factory until 5 years ago. Not putting you down, genuinely curious.

Performance vs cost is all over the shop. Look at the E30 M3 vs 964 Turbo vs 32 GT-R. All from the same era, late 80's early 90's but prices were all over the shop depending on where you were buying the car.

Mercedes S class would have had them. That'd be about it though. Euro manufactures back then focused on making the car awesome, not filling it with silly shit so people would buy it. Now it's all about how many stupid useless gadgets you can put in one car. And if you want to talk terms ahead in safety devices, you can't go past Volvo, Volkswagen and Mercedes. The Jap stuff is only just now catching up for mega safe cars.

And as a side note because someone mentioned falcadores... the dirty 2007-2012 VEs we have at work are about on par with an 1989-1999 skyline.

One day aussie's will get the LS9/10/11 & 13's

But the US market needs to put them in their cars first.

We will get them once they have considered them 'out dated'...

How easy going are you guys when it comes to people asking to test drive your car?

I don't really want to let anyone test drive my car until I know they are 100% serious. Does this seem strange or do you guys just let everyone/almost everyone behind the wheel of your car?

Do they have a deposit with them?

If not I'll take them for a drive in it, No way in hell am I letting someone drive my baby unless they have the cash to pay for her.

I'd want to make sure the buyer is serious. Also wouldn't let them behind the wheel without getting license details from them so if something goes wrong you have the ability to track them down (speeding ticket during test drive etc.)

I am going to make them supply a decent deposit if they want to take the car for a test drive.

I'll also take their drivers license to ensure they are who they are and for the purpose you supply there boz (thanks for that didn't think of that a tall).

Cheers guys

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
