sideskirts are plastic?

Didn't have skirts, looked like a decent ding...

Guess I'll wait it out, sell my car and buy something outright, no loans for me.

mmmm flood damaged skylines.... kaaaching!

had minor flooding of our garden last year after some heavy rains, so i got the plumber in to beef up our drains. neighbours got flooded but were were dry as :)

Not mine, mine was high and dry in a garage on top of a hill. Unfortunately the interested person is from Mildura, which is currently underwater. But it would have been great if it had decided to flood, it's insured for ~$7,000 more than I'm selling it for. I'm not that lucky though.

Set of four Super advans with tyres selling for $380 to whoever comes and collects them tomorrow. That's less than $100 a corner. Getting sick of seeing them in the garage now. Someone take them ffs.

stock mini handles better than a slushbucket stock r33, notice how the design of the mini puts all 4 wheels at the corners of the body with no overhang?

FWD is easier to drive/control for a new driver

cruise control standard

drive by wire

traction control standard

2000's tech vs 1990's tech

depending on the year, stock getrag gearbox

in cabin noise (or lack thereof)

lots of airbags

less police trouble compared to an R33

etc.

which are all great features if you can afford it.

she can't.

33 = boat.

Almost ready to hoist the mast and sail 'er down the Yarra.

yer was going to say he's confusing 32 with 33!

A boat seems like a more practical investment than a car these days. Things you can't do with a car - travel out of your street, travel through QLD and VIC

interesting, couple days of decent rain and half of victoria is flooded. so what happens if it rains hard for a week or two non stop? lol we're so f**ked

Yes we're basically f**ked if it rain like QLD.

Won't be surprised if the prices of boat skyrocketed!

    • Aren't these run off of high voltage in OEM applications? Like 200+V. Or at least 48V in mild hybrids. At ~18,000 BTU ballpark nominal capacity the power draw is at what, 2.2 kW? ~185A is a pretty crazy amount of amps. At 200V it's only 11A. The 70A nominal kits with up to 100A peak draw I see for stuff like classic Porsches have pretty substantial compromises like shutting off at idle and not actually managing to keep the interior cool in hot conditions because they can only output like 6000 BTU. IMO if I had to pick what high amp draw component to retrofit to these cars I would start with the engine fan, not the AC compressor. You need an ~850-1000W brushless fan, something like this: I would love to see the data but I would bet that whatever you save by running the AC compressor in a more efficient regime with an electric motor you're probably losing to conversion losses anyways. It's not really like a clutch fan where you're losing power all the time even when it's nominally disengaged and it gets worse as it engages because the envelope tracking isn't that precise.

    • Bit of a long shot but if anyone has 4 of these laying around in new or near new condition. I will happily buy them off you.     https://skylinespares.com.au/product/stabilizer-door-glass-inner-new-8032404u03/?srsltid=AfmBOop6L5EgUFaHPHiVXoAhv5k8aJYwc77nGmoApp-hY03OiOsNVaOv Thanks 
    • I'm wondering is the Toyota and Mazda "collaboration" could see that new Toyota ???G20 ??? turbo engine that they have been showing off recently into a future MX5, apparently it's good for 400hp out of the box That could easily, possibly, be much better than the last collaboration between Toyota and Subaru with the boxer engine in the twins
