That ST205 is tits! It is definitely unappreciated and is the car that Brian O’Connor should have been driving all along.

I mean, if he'd been driving the actual turbo Eclipse instead of that weak-rear end 420a,...

Owns. I looked around for the older ones that we got in the states (lol parts availability for very low volume car) but those ones always looked much cooler to me. Definitely used one in Gran Turismo at some point, haha.

He's bad and you should feel bad about linking a video in here, this most hallowed of JDM places. That he's using a proxy now says it all, really.

Someone else we know in Ft. Myers denied a sale (for the same reason) a few months ago after one of the dude's videos got super popular in where he did the Top Gear can't kill a Hilux special over again, but youtub-ishly. The guy in Ft. Myers dealt with w.diesel directly though.

For us, this guy on facebook messaged us last night and was very..quick, to close the sale. Asked no questions about the truck at all, everything was wire transfers and deposits. We were heading to bed so we said tomorrow morning (aka today).

Similar weird vibes from him this morning, we looked just a bit, he works for the guy. He's the proxy for acquiring anything for whistlingdiesel.

We said no, that's that.

EDIT
Christ so we just took it off the market because now we're getting far more sudden interest in the truck and everyone is weird, rather than rightfully going "poo poo man this is expensive tell me about the truck" like normal people do.
That's it, truck isn't for sale anymore for at least a bit.

Sold the porn Prado today, though it has been thoroughly cleaned and they didn't get to keep the porn. The guy that bought it had his own vanity plate he had us transfer:





As for whistley boy, nothing since we took the truck down. Quite literally everyone even remotely close to whatever we have as a circle really doesn't like the guy, at all. We mention him, most people go "gently caress that guy".

I can't easily find the answer to this.
I think it it might be a leftover from the anti-lag or water injection system from the rally cars. If you look now people claim it is to cool the belts which is as bad as people with T230 Celicas trying to claim the hood scoop is functional.

It's the cooling air intake for the boiling water vessel. The BWV runs off heat from the turbos, but it would be too hot for tea without a moderating influence. The hole brings the water temp to exactly 177.7°F, perfect for a cuppa green. There was a secondary intake for Gyokuro, which needs 140°F, but no one ever bought it.

The Japanese really do think of everything!

I'm sorry, I don't understand. Are you saying that you actually want to insert your penis into that hole in the hood of the car?

Why? Is this like a masochism thing? Have you never cut your hand on metal before?

It's a cam belt cooling hole. Does help cooling a few other systems on that side of the engine but primary for the cam belt.

If this looks familiar then you're a smart cookie. The same van as above, but in the top-trim MASTERACE SURF level. Bit different fascia, a bit more gold and brown with a little less blue, 5 speed manual this time, more miles, same EFI gasoline engine, same 4WD, same hot/cold box and maybe a better stereo setup in the back? Not sure. It's a bit strange picking up two vans like this at once but you don't get to pick what shows up at auction.

1989 Nissan March Super Turbo, 5 speed manual, FWD with LSD two-door hot hatch with a supercharger and turbo charger attached to its 1000cc inline four engine. Another white homologation special to match the ST205 we have on the way. Here is what Wikipedia says:

Wikipedia posted:

In 1988, Nissan launched a limited 10,000-unit run of its homologated (certified) Nissan 1989 Micra Super Turbo (EK10GFR/GAR). Both this and the 1988 Micra R (EK10FR) featured the same highly advanced sequential compound charged (supercharger plus turbocharger) engine in an all-aluminium straight-four 930 cc eight-valve MA09ERT unit that produced 110 PS (81 kW; 108 hp) at 6400 rpm. This car came with either a 3-speed automatic or 5-speed manual gearbox with viscous limited slip differential, as well as options such as air conditioning and electric mirrors. The Micra Super Turbo still holds the crown for the fastest production Micra in Nissan's history, with factory performance figures of 7.7 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) and 15.5 seconds to run a quarter-mile. It has a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph).


Always wanted to have one of these, even for just a bit, so stoked to snag a sub-70k mile, all-original one. Torn boot and an oil leak, is going to be sent to a mechanic in Kobe to take care of that and any other issues it might have. I'll admit I might not make any money on this and it might be dumb from a purely business point of view but who gives a poo poo about that, look at this goofy little hatchback!
