Maybe it's like Mazda releasing the RX-8? For those of us who wouldve wanted to see a replacement for the RX-7 it was a pretty big disappointment, but in its own right the RX-8 was a decent enough car and sold reasonably well. I think that Subaru *did* have more involvement than just the engine Aaron, I'll try and find an article if I can, but I believe they did have a hand in the chassis development. What's interesting is that when you open the bonnet of the '86' the engine cover says TOYOTA D4S BOXER SUBARU Dunno what you think of having two manufacturers on the same engine cover, it's not like a McLaren F1 with 'Powered by BMW' or a Pagani Zonda with 'Mercedes-Benz' written on it.

Should be more like $40K or a little under. They've taken into consideration cars more like the Golf GTI, Lancer Ralliart and WRX (based on price). Emphasis on handling balance (CoG) and power-to-weight ratio over outright power figures. 147kW and about 1210kg gives a power/weight ratio of 120kW/tonne, similar to the stock S15 in Oz (without the torque of the turbo though). I think it'll prove to be a good little thing; problem is that Toyota have abandoned sports cars for such a long time that those of us who know the JZA80 Supra are left wanting more.

Yeah I do! Loved the 31 since I was little when dad had his Silhouette, and I loved my old '88 325i - another box

Hey Pat - thought you boys were gonna go down old pac? Didn't recognise the car so didn't say gday sorry Spotted a ton of sweet sweet skylines at Gosford last night! Falling in love with R31 2 doors all over again! So many nice cars there.

AWESOME photos Joel! Didn't click with me that we actually had 31/2/3/4 in order And typical Ferrari driver parking in the disabled spot hey

A wrap up thread has now been started in the NSW section: http://www.skylinesa...-night-wrap-up/

Awesome night. Great to see Jim and Fred playing off each other too - goes to show it makes a huge difference when you get along with the people you work with. Cheapo iphone panorama: Nice pics Pat

SOLD

Cool. Supposed to be 26 and cloudy! and raining practically every other day around the 27th!

So everyone on the reserve list has been looked after I take it?

PM and Email replied.

Bloke coming for an inspection today was referred to us by a well known workshop. The man in question hasn't returned latest SMSs however and I'm not sure if inspection is happening today. I think if a serious buyer actually comes and has a proper look at the car, it'll go. Until then we seem to have quite a few "window shoppers"...

Hey Dave can we buy / pick them up at the Legends night?

Even better

Good point Matt makes. If an NSX is going to go for $100k it should at least be a late model manual 3.2. Never had the chance to drive one but I don't see how an 8,000 rpm redline with VTEC and a four-speed auto can make a good combo. That's right Jarrad, you can never judge a man by his daily!

They don't play nice either

Hope it doesn't rain either. But Paul I've driven on practically-bald Direzza 02Gs in the wet before and it was fine... If it does happen to be bucketing down, you might even be better off taking the old pacific highway up and taking it easy at (less than) 60km/h, as opposed to 110km/h on the F3.

PM replied to. Thanks Sorry guys, not interested in swaps as I've bought another car to replace this one.

Awesome Sunday additions everyone. That Evo driver is nuts Michael!!

Back on topic; very nice R33 GTR mate, I love the combo of the white paint with the clear lenses and the S3 lights / splitter. Good luck with the sale. Any engine mods?

-- The car will also be on display at next Sunday's End of Year Dinner (Legends Night at Trackside Gosford) - the 27th of Nov. --

Hey Brian, Can't believe you're selling it; a well deserved winner at the R32 21st Anniv. event and an absolute show stopper, no exaggeration. I think for the right buyer who can appreciate the attention to detail, what you're asking for is perfectly reasonable. Good luck with the sale mate. Matt

Thanks very much for the compliments guys. I hope she can go to someone who truly appreciates her condition...

Love the story

No worries Ken. Thanks. They'd look shmick on any GTR. Mine's black though so a bit too much black for me. These shouldn't last.
