Believe it or not, they're selling these at 6,000,000 YEN in Japan....

Can't be bothered to convert that to our $ but if R33 GT-R are selling at 2 - 2.5 Yen, then you can imagine how much these thing cost... 3 to choose from :D

If anyone read the latest HPI, the special issue GT-R... there's some short article about these first GT-Rs.

hmmm dunno about that one dude.......from what i have seen.... the japanese seem to go through stages in regards to old cars...forexample once an S600 honda was worth a mint....then by the time you found one here in aust..tidyed it up and sent it O/S the price had diminished somewhat...... I remember they were goin nutz for type 2 vw's! i mean farkin hell!!!!But the KCG10 will always be the "in" thing

I recently did a website for someone who owns 2 Packard Twin-Sixes. One is a 1916 model. The other is a 1934 model.

The 1916 model is valued at approx ~$5,000,000 AUD.

The 1934 model is valued at an even higher $8,000,000 AUD.

The reason the 1934 model is worth more is because it is the only 1934 model left in showroom condition - world-wide.

In October he received a letter from the owner of the Sphinx Casino in Las Vegas (i think thats the name!) --- they do an auction of the worlds most prestigious cars every year and he offered this guy full air-fare, 1st class accom. Meals all paid for etc... transport..... if he would agree to have his 2 Packards auctioned off at his casino with the other cars.

His website is up at www.vintagepackards.com

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
