New here, ST205 GT-four Group A Rallye, JZX100 Chaser Tourer V, ST162 White Lightning

Hi Cuts,

Good to have you over here :thumbsup:

I can't add any more than I said on Toymods, I'm sure others have more info though. Stig and 89celicagt are our decal guys, try them for the graphics.

Cheers
Matt

 

Welcome, Woooooo Hoooooo, another Limited Edition White Lightning. If IIRC this is only the second one I'v seen since I'v been here and only the fourth one ever, who knows how many are in good running order these days, but Ill bet it's just a handfull or two.

Yes they are the last of the 162's and to this day after much research I'm still unsure how many were made, it's somewhere between 150-300. Anyone else have a clue ??????

I love my GT-Four seats, soooooo comfy. Mine is an auto with ECT - ELECTRONIC CONTROL TRANSMISSION, and I have cruise control. I don't have that pinstriping around the protector strips, it could've been an after thought by somebody.

Sunroof rust is common and what is that switch thingy near your hood latch ?

Stig does have some WL decal designs and although only slightly different they should be fine, when you buy them could you take a pic of them for me before you put them on the car and lay a tape measure beside them :thumbsup:

You ask what is specific to our cars..... It is Limited Edition because it is the last of the 162's and it was released only in Australia, the decals, wheels and colour are specific of course. Cruise control on the auto and possibly air con was an optional extra on purchase, nothing else mechanical and ABS is standard.

Your car is in fantastic conditon. For 100 clams it is a dead set steal, did you steal it :hehe and even if you spent 1000 biscuits on it, it still is.

 

mitch get off my forum! hahahaha

im still jealous of you picking this up

 

It'd be an alarm sensor I'd reckon

 

Nice find ! Looking really good, and you other cars are ok too (they're great !)

What's with the coolant spill? I did a 3s-gte swap on myy st162 and can say it's a good swap !

 

Welcome!Nice cars!

 

True dat, a spring loaded 'push' switch.

Cracked radiator Wolf.

 

Welcome Cuts...


GT-Four seats?
All european st162 were offered with this kind of seat in standart. Same fabric, same color (grey was also available).
But I have to agree with our favorite spider : they are so comfy.....

 

Welcome aboard!! Can't wait to see this project get under way!
And that is a standard steering wheel? Or do all white lightnings come like that? I'm not sure, but I'm just used to seeing the cruise control buttons being located somewhere on the steering wheel

 

My cruise buttons are on the RHS of the wheel :cheers

 

I had the same steering wheel on my old '89 SX. Mine had cruise too but I can't recall where the controls were located, part of my brain is telling me they were on a stalk on the steering column, but i don't quite remember..

We didn't get those seats in any other model François, the GT4/All-Trac was never sold here (only a handful of private imports), and we got these seats standard (I assume, I've never seen an Aus-delivered car with different seats):

 

too bad MattC...these seats are "only" ok...but my st162 indeed had the nice seats standard :

 

That part of your brain is fried, sydney smog and Alzheimer's maybe :mrgreen

Seriously tho, I'm yet to see cruise on a stalk, anyone else :munch............ Those window winders make me shudder.

Interesting info on the seats Matt, if those are standard in your pic then the GT-Four seats in the White Lightning was another unique feature, I dunno because of the rarity of the WL, Cut's seats are only the second set I have ever seen for the WL and definately much better build quality, I'd like to hear more from the lads :cheers

 

the seats in the white lighning were the only ones of tgere kind factoy realeased in australia. they never came out in any other aus delivered st16x

as you already have gathered cuts they where the last hoorah for the 4th gen. it was mainly a last desperate attempt at getting rid of them.
the only thing special about them was the seats and the color coded trims and rims with the WL decals. other then that shes juat another 4th gen

 

yep, bit like an XC Cobra, just a decal-and-option pack to shift the last of the shells. You couldn't give them away 10 years ago either...

It is entirely possible my brain made that up to fill in a gap. Unfortunately I have no pictures of the inside of my old car
I don't mind manual windows - less to go wrong! :lol

 

The decals are out of production - best we can do is duplicate them in vinyl


On my thread I built a Lighting replica with red decals but opted not to do the sides.


Yep, production was 300 - untill now not much demand for them but in the future genuine original models will be worth heaps, they are already getting pretty scarce
It's a stock Oz spec SX with detail and interior changes - JDM seats, sound, sunroof etc


Unfortunately I think you'll find the sunroof has rotted from the inside - normal on all gen 4s


All JDM's came stock with velvet electric seats and the Fijutsu 10 sound system, never seen cruise control or ABS on one though
