tubo regals were around for some time. they started doing them in the late 70's the last of them were the best (86/87) and the quickest.

one that I think may have been missed its the subaru XT (or alcynone VX) styling on that one was ahead of its time

Toyota Soarer - Both aesthetically and functionally, in 1991 was ahead of everything but the most expensive European vehicles. The ergonomics of this thing were adopted well into the late 90's until Toyota started making fridges.

Opel Calibra - Wrong place at the wrong time, particularly in Australia where we weren't ready for expensive European coupes just yet. Not to mention the lacklustre marketing behind it. Some models as early as 1989/1990 (in Europe) yet portrayed design cues and functionality inherited by mid to late 90's vehicles.

I think there's a fine line between vehicles with styling that was later copied by many manufacturers and therefore ahead of its time, and vehicles that simply did not catch on in terms of looks - e.g. Subaru SVX.

this thread is useless, how on earth did the diablos and older get on here? they are the ugliest cars ever made, not to mentuion that they never work, and people are saying R34's and Supras. Why? there is nothing special about them? They are jap cars that may look nice, but technology wise and styling wise they are not special at all

I disagree with the Supra comment. For a car released in '93 they're bloody good looking, even compared to modern day standards. Hell, even some new cars have the same shape and styling.

Tell me this doesn't look similar to a Supra, which was made 17 years ago.

Ford GT40

Nissan R32 (I mean come on look at what all the other major manufacturers were offering at the time, IE VL, XF, VW style porsches, angular Ferrarris and Lambos etc, and also a huge improvement over the HR31 and DR30 styling)

i agree somewhat, but that ferrari does look amazing

I'm counting exterior only, as interiors seem to date a lot quicker.

^^ Incredible looking car...

have always been a fan of these little alfas. There's one that belongs to this guy Nick Rahimtulla. It goes off on the VSCC race days held annually in my town. Incredible to look at, every time.

The thread is based on aesthetics only, not technology. It has sort of turned into a "my favourite car is..." thread though. I think some shockers have been posted but it is all subjective & each to their own.

The Countach was way way ahead of its time & imo is still one of the sexiest looking cars today.

The Mark IV Supra's styling was also ahead of its time, and like others have said still looks good today for a car that came out 17 years ago which is hard to believe. Just as the Z32 300ZX came out in 1989, hardly anything on the road at the time could touch its sharp ultra modern looks and a nicely kept one still manages to turn heads today.

The R34 GTR imo is the modern day evolution of muscle car looks. An fine amalgamation of boxy retro muscle with modern flair - it has an unmistakeable presence on the road. Similarly the R32 GTR was also cutting edge with its looks for the time.

The Audi R8 is yet another example of a car that is miles ahead of its time. And the list goes on...

lol there was a Pantera at the summernats and I had to tell a bunch of bogans what it was :blink: They were like "ohh never heard of it" :down:

I think Escort RS Cossies still look shit hot, for an early 90's car

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
