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

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
