True, but i have had such little experience driving a manual. I figure if this is going to be a keeper, i could always do a manual conversion later when i get a bit more confidence.

youre lookin at a fair amount of dollars for an rb25 manual conversion, best to save the money and effort.

:EDIT: good spot luke, didnt even see that.

When we first spoke to the seller about organising a pre purchase inspection, i had organised it for Morpowa. He then came back and said he couldn't do it that day. He said he didn't mind coming down my way to boostworx. He said he had most of the work done there. Maybe im just being given the run around.

this is the first ove been online all day! so ner :D

took the rolla out for drive today, she uses about 1/4 tank to 200kms which i dont think is too bad really :(

however, the spark plugs are rooted so ill be changing them in a couple of days time!

yeah for a lil carbi creature mine goes pretty hard if she wants too lol and being manual is a bonus aswell. the interior on mine is very mint as, there is a little hole on the drivers seat but thats about it really, rest of the car is pretty clean, had new tyres on too

    • My purchase experience was no where near as glorious as yours but still a significant moment in my life! Yeah that's a bit of a dilemma as to whether you bring it back or not!  Obviously a massive waste of time and effort to bring it back if you're only going to move there anyway!
    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.
