I like cars without modern driver aids.

200rwkw+ / tonne in 90's Jap cars is worth the 20 year old hastle

Bit different though comparing a r33/180sx or similar to a ls barge

Of course it's fun to drive but it's also cheap to fix

This

Have driven many late model cars including sports cars, compacts, family badges, luxuries...they are more comfortable and that's it

Everything else about them, nothing is stacking up to it

Maybe I'm biased to a particular era and refuse to enjoy anything else, but can't say I haven't tried

350/370Z is a good example

It should be an awesome car that I would want over my GTS-T but it's not and I don't; 86 same deal

then you've got 33 GTR prices to increase in a few years.

mean while in LS Lexus land... $200 separates a 1991 LS400 (300,000kms) and a 1997 LS400 (180,000kms) lol. both sub $5000. at this rate they'll be cheaper dailies than a SSS.

I'm unsure of where these could go in terms of price.

32R prices are holding strong and even going up, but with 32Rs people have that bathurst-winning original Godzilla omg JDM not a boat like 33 but only 20kg lighter Gibson motorsport look mah I'm a race car driver from 25 years ago with my VN dash ziller original and the best I want an original no mods so I can waste money and modify it the way I like which will actually be like everyone else does anyway and did I mention glass headlights oh it's an N1 front bar...shit about them that I think spurs that market price on.

That combined with people writing them off at a stupid rate that is giving them rarity too.

33R will enjoy the rarity from people writing them off, but in the future they may not be as sought after as 32s are right now? I fear price wise they'll do what GTS-Ts have done and just become cheap beyond what they should be. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Such this

lol its true.

but 'merica will want 33's.

on-topic to 90's jap sports cars: all coupes have f**k ugly dashes. its a fact. that unsymmetrical, prone-to-cracking, cheap-looking, weird pods POS. GTiR's, 180's, 32's, 33s, 34s, supras... heaps more. sure they look nice on the outside, then you peer inside. its why so many people try to draw attention to the seats and door trims. cause they cant change the dash. and thats why those carpeted race dashes look so good.

I do like how 90s jap cars drive and all.. but miss out on dat dere bluetooth and ipod connectivity, reverse camera, cup holders, and steering wheel buttons that are awesome for daily driver..

Maybe I'm just getting old.

TIL all 90's nissans have stock head units and are unable to be changed in any way.

See also: $50 reverse camera.

TIL also my Nissan does not have 4 cup holders!

Stop making excuses not to have a 90s jap car; all of the above can be rectified in the aftermarket likely for cheaper than they are factory options in new cars

33 GTS-T dash?

Ergonomic as fk, everything lines up and looks purposefully there rather than an afterthought.

The reality is though gtsts / gtrs aren't realistic daily drives for a lot of people so the modern 'sports cars' try balance of performance,styling & modern creature comforts that people demand now

370z I actually thought was quite good to drive, interior was very average imo.

I wonder though weren't 32/33s like 80-100k back in the day? In which case comparing to a 60k 370z today would be unfair

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
