Believe it or not, they're selling these at 6,000,000 YEN in Japan....

Can't be bothered to convert that to our $ but if R33 GT-R are selling at 2 - 2.5 Yen, then you can imagine how much these thing cost... 3 to choose from :D

If anyone read the latest HPI, the special issue GT-R... there's some short article about these first GT-Rs.

hmmm dunno about that one dude.......from what i have seen.... the japanese seem to go through stages in regards to old cars...forexample once an S600 honda was worth a mint....then by the time you found one here in aust..tidyed it up and sent it O/S the price had diminished somewhat...... I remember they were goin nutz for type 2 vw's! i mean farkin hell!!!!But the KCG10 will always be the "in" thing

I recently did a website for someone who owns 2 Packard Twin-Sixes. One is a 1916 model. The other is a 1934 model.

The 1916 model is valued at approx ~$5,000,000 AUD.

The 1934 model is valued at an even higher $8,000,000 AUD.

The reason the 1934 model is worth more is because it is the only 1934 model left in showroom condition - world-wide.

In October he received a letter from the owner of the Sphinx Casino in Las Vegas (i think thats the name!) --- they do an auction of the worlds most prestigious cars every year and he offered this guy full air-fare, 1st class accom. Meals all paid for etc... transport..... if he would agree to have his 2 Packards auctioned off at his casino with the other cars.

His website is up at www.vintagepackards.com

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
