I have driven a 350z and and an r34 gtr. The 350z does not impress anyone more, trust me.

My point is, why do Jap car manufactureres make european styled cars to have to sell more cars? I thought they where all ready doing pretty good making jap styled cars.

Not trying to be smart with this question but what defines a Jap-styled car (as opposed to Euro styled)?

I think the styling of cars went downhill after the KA laser. I mean whats with the KB? Those front lights just look all soft, as if the owner is a little old lady using a cheap, economical shopping trolley of a car to get the milk and bread from the corner store instead of the sporty, high performance car the KA was.

I'll agree the supras are looking a little dated, but I dont think very many cars look good from factory ... Add a mild bodykit, some lowering and a set of nice wheels and the supra is very tops. More so than most cars with the same mods I guess is what I'm trying to say. Urgh, personal taste I guess.

Also the new minis are damn fat (not phat) compared to the old minis. I saw one parked next to an old mini about a week ago and you dont realise just how huge the new minis are until you see them next to an old mini. Like literally double the size (note: hyperbole).

Anyway, even I dont know what point I was trying to make when I started typing this.

supra may be looking a little dated, it still manages to turn so many heads though. They still look a helluva lot better than a lot of cars on the road that you see everyday.

The KA laser was the end of the ultra high performance laser range. They went mainstream with the KB. Nothing beats the pushed-into-the-back-of-your-seat demon acceleration of the KA, dont even get me started on the torque of those cars.............. lol ;)

    • I ❤️ Matty I would like to thank Matty for going out his way in securing me a OEM NC detachable hard top for the NC Matty, your worth your weight in gold, and I cannot say how much I really appreciate your outstanding help I'll get it colour matched once I pick it up sometime in Dec-Jan 😁  
    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
