What do you guys consider the aesthetically classic cars that just don't seem to date & were way ahead of their time? I guess the criteria is the cars have to still look sexy no matter how long ago they came out. Ok I'll get the ball rolling:

1967 Shelby Mustang GT500

Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing

Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG

Lamborghini Countach

Lamborghini Gallardo

Ferrari 355

Ferrari Testarossa

Porsche 911 (duh!)

Nissan R34 GTR (no I'm not being biased here!)

McClaren F1

I know I've missed a heap here but I'll leave it up to you guys add to the list!

...or what about a sexier rear end/quarter than the Miura or Montreal? >

i wouldn't really put the r34 as being ahead of it's time since it was just updated 10 year old technology. and can't really say it has aged well as it is only 12 years old. and while i think the r32 gtr can be there for being ahead of it's time, to me it is starting to show it's age and lose its appeal.

also to add to the list, i would have to say the delorean, shleby cobra, ford GT40 and the model T ford

if you allow modifications then throw in a heap of old fords and chevs hotrods from the 20's and 30's. they are probably holding their looks better than what 90% of the current stuff is

Ferrari 308 GTB

Lamborghini Countach

R32 GTR

VK Group A Commodore

300 ZX

Supra RZ

VW Kombi van - Way ahead of its time ( As ugly and hippy as it may be )

Lotus Esprit turbo

Ferrari F40

Ferrari Testarossa

Porsche 911

    • @GTSBoy Yeah i know. The RB20 has 180Nm torque and the gearbox "should" take up to 400Nm if you are not doing stuff like drag/drift or dumping clutch and of course then it is pure "luck" on how will it last. My problem is (i think i said this in different post) that my car was very badly maintain so i would not be suprised if the oil in the gearbox was not changed until i bought it. Yeah the gearbox seem little bit sad.   @Sxnjeet the +T seem very interesting but from where iam from it was nearly "impossible" to done right and not blow twice as money as just swap for the RB25.
    • Hi, I went to the MINES shop here and bought something.. Niikura-San just happened to be there so I managed to take some pics and got him to sign my dash surround thingy. Its still wrapped in plastic back home.. I was thinking how to preserve the signature??? Im sure someones thought of this and done this in the past.
    • Perfect - thanks Joshuaho96!  Will see what I can source.
    • If the plastic wore, the paint will wear quicker. Heck, most car manufacturers cant keep the coatings they put on their buttons/trims alive these days for more than 5 years... A cheap paint won't do it!   However, you can get away with high quality vynil wrap, primarily in areas that won't cop much abuse. Skip colour matching, and just try and wrap a specific area with an edge in a new colour.   PS vynil wrapping is a prick of a job, and I suck at it, even for a small dead flat surface...
    • I think this is more a question you should ask the tuner. My assumption is you have nothing plugged into the original pin for ring gear crankshaft, which is where your map sensor should get wired to, but now you've asked the tuner to disable it. I'm assuming (because I haven't memorised your setup) you are using RB25 ECU on the RB20 loom, to plug into an RB25. You will want to check what else is connected potentially backwards between the engine, loom, and ECU. You might be all fine and safe. The best solution you could have done is wire in a map sensor, and leave the ECU able to read a map sensor.
