Car serviced at Maztech every 3 months. Car has done about 2,000km since imported.

First owner in Australia. Car imported by Iron Chef Imports.

Selling because of no particular reason. Freeing up some money for other use would be the reason perhaps.......

Exterior of car is not perfect. Condition wise, I would say it is good, which is less than excellent and less than perfect.

Audio gear was installed professionally by Option (Westall Rd, Springvale)

Auction Grade: 4BB

No known accident History. Currently insured with Shannons for $850+/year

Mechanics Comments:

I was told by mechanics at Maztech that the car was one of the cleanest they have seen......... there was not a single drop of oil or oil stain under the bonnet. (May be exaggerated?

The engine compression test was done when the car first arrived late last year and was reported to have excellent compression. I think the number they gave me was 110 for both rotars. I Can organise another compression test at interested parties expense.

Just an additional note......inspect the car only if you are 100% interested and test drives can be arranged with serious, polite and mature drivers who have shown interest with a deposit. As my insurance does not cover under 25s, under 25s will not be permitted to test drive the car.

I have included some pictures.

Yup, the car is for sale, but it might be for sale for a while since car sales are kinda sale at the moment. I hope I can sell it by the end of this year. :( We should meet up soon Ben. Been a while and lots to catch up.

Willing to swap for a stock S15 or perhaps a R34 GT-T manual both in stock from cash adjustment my way.

Jon get the R34 la. :yes:

If only i'm smaller, i wouldn't mind an Rx 7 :D

I think finding a nice unmolested stock R34 or S15 locally is difficult. That being said I would prefer the S15 just because my wife will be driving it a lot more and she prefers the S15. I hardly drive these days, but I cycle about 400 to 500km a week :blush: Thats to make up for all the pollution I may have contributed to in the past :blink:

Gd luck with the sale on your R34. Looks nice and clean. FI does a real good job for detailing, but car washing there???

Car is still for sale. A few interest for swaps and cash adjustment, but I am really looking for a straight sale because we have no need for a 3rd car.

hmmmm......... we need cash within the next 2 weeks for some construction/renovation work.

I will be willing to part with the car for $30k which will save me having to take an additional $30k loan from the bank. I will need the cash by 14th April 08 or the price of the car will revert back to $35k again.

Thanks,

Jon

      R34 power steering

      If doing that ^, I'd take the idle up valve out and plug the hole in the pump.

      You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.

      Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
