Its a fact.

On appearances alone, the FD takes the cake. It has aged better than all the other JDM master pieces of this era and is still absolutely gorgeous.

I include the 2000 model year also which is the crème de la crème of the FD.

Followed closely by the R32 GTR.

Convince me otherwise. ☠️

Agreed.

When I was looking at imports 20 years ago I noticed some FDs were about same price as R32s (IE a few grand at auction)but they weren't eligible due to whatever bullshit rules they had about parallel imports or whatever. 

Now all the jap boomers know what they got....

NSX.

Nobody can really argue any other and not be ridiculed.
Come on. Get serious.

I vote the R Chassis as the most 'distinctive' or 'iconic' or what have you.

Nah. I've always thought the tail of the NSX was too long. I mean....it's not a bad looking thing, but it is very bland by comparison to the things it was supposed to take down (Italian supercars), and... it sounds like a V6. And not an ALFA V6 either. A Japanese V6.

It looks superior to any 90's JDM car.

It is the king of any event, or parking lot, or track day with people that see them in person. You may not like it, but this is the absolute truth any time a NSX shows up anywhere where people's physical eyeballs are at. I've seen rows of people standing in front of R34 GTR's and FD's stop conversation and turn and look at a NSX in envy multiple times.

RX7 is better for audio set ups, as you can really hide the subwoofers and also make them sound great with superpositioning strategies.

Not to mention, it's a family car. You can take your kids in it (although I wouldn't).

NSX is meh.

I'd drool over a HG Kingswood before I'd drool over an NSX.

FD absolutely the bets looking.

R32 GTR vs A80 Supra fighting for 2nd place, although GTR looks the goods with no mods and an A80 needs at least wheels, lowering, and the right colour to look the best. GTR looks good on stock wheels and in any factory colour.

Only non pop-up NSX and that didn't happen till the 2000s so your point is moot.

The FD just looks like a run of the mill MX5.

A nice car, yes. Pretty girly looking. Struggles to be in the top 10.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
