Hi Guys,

I just purchased this car, and I was interested in what the comments at the bottom left of the auction sheet say....

more than happy with this one: '03 manual Premium with 10800km on the clock. Grade 4.5A. It is easier to buy a donor car to get the Chargespeed car passed than to hope the parts I have people set aside for me to rent would still be there. As it turns out, I ended up getting a car that was so much better than what I thought would be available for the budget I set. I am ecstatic!

Cheers,

Micah

thats awesome to get a 4.5A. how much did it set you back?

Don't really want to advertise what I paid, suffice to say I have seen auto non-premiums with more km sell for more... it was a complete gamble: we low-balled the price, and won! It probably helps that it was freezing and pouring at the auctions yesterday, and there were very few buyers still there when the car came up. I would have been happy with a basic auto, and I got an absolute gem :D

congrats on the purchase mate! got any pics?

its off topic, but are these genuine Ks? I mean I bought mine with 26k km on the clock, looking at the wear on the peddles i think it's probably done double or even triple the amount... i mean do japs really drive this little? when I was in japan, everyone drove out to everywhere... especially if u live outside the main cities...

Looks to be genuine, from interior wear, lack of gutter rash, etc.... but it was raining in the photos, making it hard for any scratches to be seen. That said, even if the k's weren't genuine, it's a grade 4.5A: it's super tidy in any case.

Micah, there's not much written on there, it does mention rust under the car - might pay to check it before it leaves for Australia. I know exactly where you bought it from, and they are notorious for giving high gradings to cars with rust. Fingers crossed it's only minor.

Yeah: I have photos of the underbody rust: it's all aesthetic, and minor at that: will clean up easily...

Thanks for that Chef!

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
