I saw a Street Fight II machine for $500 in the Quokka last week. Apparantly arcade machines with orginal "moves sheet" for games like sf2 are getting to be collectors items, so the prices are higher than usual.

Might be an idea to build a MAME cabinet and run what ever game you want :).

Jojo told me about the new buisness venture. Sounds like fun, good luck!

yeah i would say build a cabinet to house a monitor (LCD maybe), and run a old PC with MAME.

it shouldnt be hard to script a program with a menu so that it looks like the real deal + you have all the games at your fingertips with upgrade capabilities.

why do you want one pal?

Yep, I have done this & it's the go. I believe Leisure & Allied Industries are based in Perth & can steer you in the right direction for a cabinet.

Do a search for & you should get quite a few DIY pages if you're so inclined.

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
