Nah,

its on ch7 - but its a "pilot" episode

Itd about the current financial crap...and they asked some expert on the top 5 modern classics that would hold their value for investments...

1. 66 mustang

2. late 80's early 90's porsche 911

3. 60's-70's mini cooper S

4. VC Brock commodore

5. 89 - 94 mx5

So the white MX5 on it, is my old mans

Yeah apparently Gay guys pay really good money for MX5's, do they deliver enough of a punch in the back though???

MX5's hold value? I know of one within those years that just sold for $4k, and the same buyer got another whole car as a spare for $1000 to use as parts......maybe there's a special model thats more desirable than others ("SP" turbo one came out way later though)?!?!

The number two, Porsche 011. Were they meaning the "widowmaker" 993 GT2/993 Turbo? (last of the air cooled)

The GTR isnt on the list, where did it come roughly - within the top ten?

Its not a "direct" list, its just what these experts said. and not a top ten, thats just a random order I put up, dont know, I didnt produce the show, was jsut asked to be on it.

And take for example my old mans mx5, he paid 8k for it 4 years back, has had offers for same amount a few years on, but he doesnt want to let it go.

You can buy any car on the cheap if its dodgy and old and needs work!

but its still going to be worth shit all. Buy one with low kms, great nock, and they will hold value.

No idea on the porka

there is only 1 993 GT2 in aus thats road registered and it up for sale at classic throttle shop for $450k, the 993 Turbo has held its value and ive started to see 996 Turbos dip lower in value.

The Porsche models that will genuinely go up in value are the 911 Carrera 3.2 from 86-88 and the 964 Turbo 3.6 (the one in the original bad boys). I'm currently eyeing off 911 3.2's contemplating wether i should take the plunge and buy in now.

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
