Thats a nice ride you have there. Good luck with that.

j-dogg · 28-July-05, 06:42 PM

That looks a lot like an RX7, a Holden Monaro and a 200SX.

BigAkita · 28-July-05, 08:04 PM

Looks nice, is that an RX7, Holden Monaro or a 200SX?

you know how ebay works, you have to include the right words in the title to attract the right buyers!

Its a sweet ride, adn i dont really want to sell it, but i just dont have the time to enjoy it.

Its a shame though, with approx 450bhp engine, it gives me about 230rwkw to shift around!!!

how's the 1JZ power? Think it'll beat my friend's 450hp BPU Supra?

subdismal · 29-July-05, 01:46 AM

At $45,000 I couldn't imagine why it wouldn't have any bids...

Don't forget, the price is in AU dollars, not US. If you read the page, the car was imported from Japan and actually has a lot of go fast modification including custom work.

Crazy_J · 29-July-05, 01:59 AM

If it's directly imported from Japan, should't it have a Toyota badge on it instead?

For some reason, the Lexus brand name comes up randomly when it shouldn't, don't know why.

Still, it's a pretty slick car, very conservative looking.

that looks nothing like a 200sx......240sx maybe, but not a 200sx

It's called the 200SX in Australia, man, because they came with SR20s there.

SR20 = 2 liter
KA24 in USDM 240SX = 2.4 liter

now compare their names and engines and think about it.

greekplaya · 29-July-05, 02:23 AM

there was a lexus version labelled the sc430 so im not sure why its been rebadged but good luck with the sale

mot19 · 29-July-05, 02:37 AM

Last time i had it on the dyno, it gave hit about 230rwkw, so im guessing thats pretty similar to your mates 2JZ 3L Supra sequential turbo. As you probalby know, but for the others the 1JZ is only 2.5L and non sequential turbos, meaning they both spool up at the same time, giving you more torque at lower rpm and virtually no turbo lag!

They all come out of Japans Toyota factory, then are badged Lexus SC400 for the US market, but domestically in Japan they are sold as a Toyota Soarer.

The badge makes little difference, its the left or right hand drive that is the big difference!

Thanks!
Just a comparison
the Australian Monaro is rebadged and sold in the USA as the Pontiac GTO.

The 200SX in Australia is the same body shape as the 240SX in the USA.

Well Mazda RX7 is the Inifini RX7 where most of you guys are!

yeh that's right there's heaps of rides out there that are rebadge as a marketing ploy to attract different markets in different countries who knows if it works
