Narrow bodied 1991 model, $31,000 new JDM, quad cam 2.5 litre vee 6, four wheel disc s all around, top speed around 240 kph and thats with an auto gearbox, climate control, AM stereo yeah 693 magic, electric windows all around and mirrors, power button on atu and overdrive 4th gear. I bought one in 1999 with 42000 km on odo from local accountant. Now has 160,000 km and the best high speed driver I have ever owned. 15 inch alloys come as standard and it is nothing like an SV21. The only giveaway is the V6 24 valve badge on the rear boot lid. Close second is my clapped out SV21 Wagon 1987 model 2L four ex SA police on LPG, I have pulled a tandem trailer loaded with a Datsun 280ZX on 5 or six occasions now in past two years. 1st trip was Penrith to Hamilton in 24 hours, next was Cantebury to Hamilton, then Wentworthville to Hamilton, all hardtops at 1450 KG plus trailer 1900 KG all up towing weight in a 1000 kg wagon. Then I did Coffs Harbour to Hamilton in 30 hours towing a JDM Fairlady 280Z, and then pulled my280Z from Coober Pedy. I occasionally forget to put oil in and it rattles to tell me to do that. 233,000 km over 25,000 towing heavy loads. Last towing trip the Aussie Allrounder ii's ex Bob jane in 2001 , well one went down and we checked the Bob Jane brochure and found the tyre expired at 57000 km. We do Hamilton to Tailem bend on 45 litres of LPG for under $20.00
I figure in the life of the car since I bought it in 2001 at 160,000 km and now nearly 234000 I have put in 74000/400 which is 185 tank fills at 50 litres per tank at average of 50cpl at $4650 cf 65 litres per tank of ULP at an estimated cost of $12000, given the cost of the car was $4500 I have paid for the car twice over with savings on LPG..
