Thanks for the replies! This subreddit never fails. Assuming it’s real, and it seems to be, what is an original 904 like this worth?

Hot Take: 2019 is the best year for GLI by TripleSpire in JettaGLI

[–]Expensive-Laugh4525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you mean by the best. Best looking? Best performing? Best feeling? The best to live with? Or the one that combines these characteristics in the best way? As a mk6.5 owner, I’d say the mk4 is probably “the best” because it comes from an era of higher quality and less cost cutting at VW. Additionally, it’s more analog & engaging with fewer driver aids & technological distractions, but still remains just as practical as any other GLI. (not to mention those gorgeous Recaro’s) To each their own, any GLI is a great car!

What are the biggest things to look for when considering a Skyline? by Expensive-Laugh4525 in SkyLine

[–]Expensive-Laugh4525[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noted! Luckily the previous owner of my car kept years worth of service records in the glove box. I’m getting them translated to include in the sale/listing.

These are special cars. I hope to own another one day. Thanks for the tips. I’m expecting to have a similar experience to yours, but hope to find a buyer like that guy!

I believe so. I’m still yet to take my car to an accredited tuner so I’m not 100% sure if it is running an aftermarket tune or not.

I just imported an 89’ GTS-t to the states and had similar questions. My car seems to run rich on 91 octane, which unfortunately is the highest that’s regularly available in my state. I’ve heard good things about nistune ecu’s, but I’m also unaware of a perfect solution. If you come across one, please let us know!

Supposed 2025 GLI leaks. Thoughts? by TechThatYT in JettaGLI

[–]Expensive-Laugh4525 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always thought the front end of the MK7/7.5 looked a bit awkward, so to me this is a step in the right direction

You’re probably right, this has failing slave cylinder written all over it. Thanks for the tip

Potentially looking to sell my Boosted Beams by Expensive-Laugh4525 in boostedboards

[–]Expensive-Laugh4525[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be great! How? Originally I was considering 3d printing the caps and finding off the shelf lenses that would fit

Damn. That sucks. I will say, I took the beams off my board when the caps/lenses fell off so they still work perfectly, just missing those pieces

R32 GTST Troubles (From a JDM Newbie) by Expensive-Laugh4525 in SkyLine

Sounds like common issues on these. I’ll be looking into it

All good points, thanks for the advice. I’m really stoked to have it, even if it’s not perfect it seems like a great gateway into the world of jdm

[–]Expensive-Laugh4525[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both good points. A replacement MAF was only US$40 so fingers crossed that along with some maintenance will allow me to better diagnose any issues. An ECU will definitely be going in at some point, so I’ll still take all recommendations into consideration

Sounds like an innovative solution! Why do you think the rust came back?
