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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
