Item on hold until I figure whether it can be started or not. For those who have pm'd or called me, or left note of interest in this thread, I'll get back to you when I know the condition of the engine which will hopefully be this weekend if I discover it myself, or next week when I get it to a mechanic.

Drew.

Hey,

Not hijacking the post but does anyone know what that kit is? I've been looking for something and I think thats pretty nice... Please PM if you know.

Also mate, if you do decide to wreck it I'm interested in quite a few parts... but good luck with whole car sale! Real sorry to hear about the accident though, mine is not insured and I rekon I would freak if that happened. Hope u find something else as nice.

Francesca

It's a manual. Stupid me forgot to include that. It also has a single plate ceramic clutch included in the mods under two years old. This clutch cost me $1000 and bites very hard. Hard to get used to using though but I've mastered it.

The front bar was purchased off ebay for $100 with a crack in it. There are no bulbs behind the indicators and I believe it's a copy because the hole in the front where the intercooler sits, doesn't line up evenly with the headlight :D

Different Price, Different Info, Different Poster... I happen to know the guy who posted it on Secretdrift, Im a moderator there id previously closed the thread and reopened it after a lengthy discussion with Eddzy.

This gets more suspect by the minute however, buyer beware :whistling:

One minute its running thats why its a higher price, and its going to be ammended here, next minute the poster on here says it could be seized they dont know if its running... please be careful guys.

Eddzy is a friend of mine and he posted it there on his own accord, doing me a favor. I have taken my ads down here and on Boostcruising because I don't know the condition of the engine at the moment as I can't get it started due to what a mechanic has told me is likely to be hydraulic lock, meaning the cylinders might have oil in them due to the car being upside for probably an hour at the crash scene. An engine won't kick over with enough oil in the cylinders because it can't compress it.

I will put the ad back up when I know if it runs or not and the price I put will be based on whether or not the engine is running.

For reference, I am KylerKF on Boostcruising. I've been an active member there for years (although not in the last few months as I don't work in an office anymore) and quite a few members from there know both me and the car in person.

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.

      FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.

      One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.

      Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.

      That's correct, suits my requirements a bit better. Sure there are also numpties there, however it's generally a different vibe and more my kind of vibe.
