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.

      The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!

      Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.

      Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢

      500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
