OK i might have to sell this un-completed. I have had this car getting built up for some time now and may have to part with it as the bank is telling me i need something newer. I have never even seen this car let alone driven it, im in WA and its in QLD. I baught this from a SAU member 6 months ago. Im very sad to have to do this, after such a long wait all i want to do is drive it.

Its at Gavin Wood Autotech on the gold coast now having the motor put together, just waiting on some final parts and then its ready to go.

It then needs to go back to the panel beaters and have the front end put back together (Had the bay resprayed).

Then needs to be complied.

I have prices on all remaining work and have organized it all (please call for more details)

Car details are:

99 Series 2

Pearl white

Stock rims, kit etc

Parts included:

Forged Pistons

Forged Rods

Trust cams

Trust Head gasket

Tomei sump baffel

Tomie oil restrictor

2 x new Garret 2860-7's

All new gaskets through out

N1 oil pump

Excedy Cerametalc clutch

Block has been machined

crank balanced etc

All new parts

The engine needs final assembly and some parts still to be paid for.

Basically if someone wants to take over from where i have left off im happy to let it go, WILL NOT SEPERATE PARTS.

There is roughly one months work to go, so if someone was looking at importing a 260RS for the same time frame you can get one with a built motor and new turbo's etc.

Im looking at around 30k as it sits now, im open to offers please call for more details as its hard to descride what im offering.

I think it did come from the goldcoast from memory was 6months ago. Yeah will be a strong car, built for reliablity and response. Im so spewing about this, last thing i needed was to lose more money on a car.

Forgot to put in the original post will sell for $35,000FIRM with the only thing new buyer would need to pay for would be complience, which i have a price on.

Or $30,000ono and the new owner takes over as it is now.

    • I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4
    • Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all. 
    • I was chatting with an ex SAU person who is involved in chooning euros now. He was saying the factory cars like Audi VW etc have something like 2000 tables that the ECU uses for getting everything "just right". Compare that back to any aftermarket ECU, and you'd be hard pressed to surpass 50 lookup tables. Even the Ford Barra engine has a few hundred lookup tables to run it (and they're still working some tables out too!)
    • Grab a temp probe, and probe each exhaust inlet runner with it sitting idling. Each one should be pretty darn close to the same temp. If you've got some reading higher or lower than the others, it's likely either air flow isn't equal, or your injectors aren't equal to each other.   The other things to check, is from the wiring changes that were made, were any earth's or grounds moved/changed.   Lastly, for the strut brace issue. It's not perfect, but can you get away with slipping a washer or two under the strut brace to raise it, and it still clean the bonnet? If you can, work out the height you need, that the motor can't torque up into, and get a spacer made for each side.
