    I'm 34 now but when I was in high school and probably 14/15 years old, I saved up and bought the HPI DVDs and would lend them to all my mates in school as we were the very rare JDM lovers as everyone else back then in Australia just loved Holden's and Fords. All those DVDs and VHS's are brilliant, they still hold up today for great watching.

    interesting fact i guess not many people outside of Australia know. In order for us to import and register grey market cars they needed to be complied or have a similar model sold in Australia already. a lot of cars like skylines that had no comparable local car the government would crash test a number of of them to confirm compliance. Saying this we have always been able to import certain complied JDM cars however not the majority, for example for years we could only import JZX tourer v's and Mark 2 in 1JZ-GTE but not the gz or whatever, 1jz na's etc.

    39:10 in Europe they were called the Granada, think it was a UK thing in the 70s-80s. My dad had one 🙂, in green, it had a 3 liter 6 cylinder engine. Think the Ghia badge is the trim level.

      It's a XE Ford Fairmont Ghia. It's still a Falcon, but the Fairmont was higher spec and the Ghia just another level (from memory). The XD Falcons (the start of that squarer box look) don't have a lip from the bonnet over the radiator area. The XE's have a flat lip and the XF has a curved lip. The XE's had those lights at the back and the XF had like a plastic insert in those grooves. I was never a Falcon fan but plenty of mates had them so I picked up some info like you do. I'm sure there are plenty of other facts that I don't know and a Ford fanboy can fill in on the full details.

    @larry that purple VL drag car would've come out with a RB30 single cam turbo or NA. many australian builders use those rb30 blocks with rb25det heads from a r34gtt and build 700-1000hp monsters without much effort. (the rb30 turbos were quick even the auto ones and those VL commodore bodies although they looked big weighed nothing).
