I'm sure theres more just can't thing of it..

Problems..

A/C Was removed for intercooler( Tinted windows reduces a lot of heat )

Cruise control was removed for Catch Can

Both units will be included with the sale just not hooked up.(Wiring Loom & Vaccum lines are all there)

Rear spoiler was hit has been touched up, proberly cost 100-200 to repair no fibreglass damage!

Sometimes gets lifter noise on cold start up lasts 3-4 secs (Common in vls)

Has noise coming from diff/tailshaft ,maybe center bering ( May Fix depends on price i get for it)

Never Thrashed it, Transmission shifts fine never slips, Wheels and tyres were bought a year ago and still have 90-95% all round (Recipts etc to prove)

Lost interest in VL's wanting something newer. May consider swaping plus cash for somethign newer eg. R33/R32

Currently not in Roadworthy condition with the catch Can and wheels being to big and a few minor issues but can organise something..

    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
    • You would need to paint your hardtop again though
    • I have an old R32 in the shed that hasnt moved much in the last few years and probably should see the light of day. At one point I had a Nismo 1.5 centre put in the rear diff. It is a clunky nightmare POS of a thing on a good day. To make it less painful the initial torque setting has been put on the minimum (7.0kgf-m, mid is 9.5, high is 14) and the oil changed out to something more slippery. But it is still awful and ruins the vibe of the thing. So my questions are: Given I have the original parts sitting in a box somewhere would it be better to rebuild the thing again, reverting to more purity? Is there a standard kit or do you just go and replace the friction plates etc and shim it the way you like it. How much initial torque does the standard R32 rear diff have? Or does the Nismo disc kit offer a better solution - the caveat being the initial torque for both options appears to be higher than the clunky 1.5 way. There appear to be two Nismo disc kits: 3843S-RS520 for 8kgf-m. 3843S-RS521 for 12kgf-m. Or is the easiest solution to reshim the Nismo diff to make it looser?
