Niiiiiiice! She's (was) a minter.

Yeah she was...

Bought her from the original owners. Even had all the factory options. Including the custom factory inserts in the seats.

Really miss her actually.

This thread is disgusting, not one picture of a 1600 yet.

I also like the old luxuary cars and cal or rat look makes them even cooler.

this car, does anyone have any more pics/details on it? It's givin me a semi that I wish to nurture into a full blown rock hard greasy boner.

I reckon I can say with pretty much absolute certainty...thats a model mate.

But yeah, my fantasy 70s car would be a C130 Laurel for sure.

Or a S130 280ZX with a yank market L28ET.

When did they stop doing RS5x Crown utes? A more realistic one I think

I'd also settle for a good straight T18 when it comes to cars of that era you can get locally.

That is a brilliant looking car and you can have one for 3k no doubt in rubbish condition but still it seems like a bargain. It would make a great crusing/project car.

I'd probably remove the front splitter, but I love the rest of it.

They do indeed make great project cars. Really gotta watch eBay carefully for the original parts but they do pop up all the time.

new cars to add to this thread... glad you guys liked the crown i posted :)

the mitsubishi debonair.. 1975

i would actually consider having a crack at this to bring in a pre 89 car

a few gorgeous examples from mooneyes

also quick shout out to the mazda luce...

2448453608_7b81368613.jpg

dude that goes to my gym has one of these, it's a neat pearl orange, with cream vinyl roof with sidepipes (dummies i'm sure) the thing is gorgeous straight up

also

for the dude going about the crown ute - here ya go

hey whoa i'm not a retard!!!!

technically i'm classed as mentally disabled. there's a difference!

and yes i know it's at the same show - i saw that pic on the blog i was perving on lastnight!

i puked in mouth @ volvo

Made late 60's, early 70's, mazda's first major rotary powered vehicle. ("10a"), only about 1500 ever made. I was lucky enough to see one a few months back though

Supposedly, they were marketed as a supercar, with a rather silly advertising campain, however i haven't been able to find out anything more about that.

    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
