They are stainless still and aren't painted.

The dude that made it is a douche. He has been in so many failed car making projects. He really needs to give up, I mean the guy hasn't contributed anything to the automotive world but he manages to find work or inverstors and makes crap cars like De'loreans.

I think you'll find that he 'gave up' a year or so ago...

I had alook into these a while back and was not impressed by the overall concept.

They are an 80s car with all the imperfections of that era, theres a mob in the US that can offer any type you want from basic stock to fully stripped and improved everything that is know to go wrong.

The only thing they have going for them is they are rare and collectable, I dont think they would loose value now.

One of the biggest drawbacks are the stainless body panels, as the repair of them is nigh impossible to get that straight look again and is cheaper to buy new panel even at todays prices, or paint the whole thing, which is an effort if you have ever tried to paint stainless properly.

Delaoreans were meant to be like proper supercars.. but they ended up with a V6 and a f**king heavy body :S think about it, how would you get out of the car if you flipped it?

if you managed to flip a 2 tonne car i dont think you'll be getting out of it.

I remember when these were first released, delorean had a lot of car makers running scared with his ideas.

"A car that could last a man a lifetime", imagine that!!, great for the environment, not a bad idea...especially in the disposable 1980's. Add some rumoured industrial espionage and it's a very interesting history for a very interesting car.

It's a shame that manufacturing costs and the price tag were so prohibitive.

@ 55k it's a worthy investment and at when peak oil hits us at least you'd have something with a decent scrap value :bunny:

Oh and sif paint stainless.....just hit it with the buff, beautiful.

Stailess steel! f**ks sake, does it come with a sink in the boot and a chopping block?

Nope doesn't come with either of those...nor does it come with rust...ever

It's little wonder the big three made sure he failed.

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
