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

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
