Comments/Modifications:

ENGINE: VH45DE quad cam V8, it runs, however after having it looked at, it seems to have possible cracked piston/s. New engine is likely to be required, quoted around 2g's for new engine. 90mm Throttle Body in perfect condition (have previously been offered $400 for this to be used on a Skyline)

TRANSMISSION: Recently fully rebuilt and kitted auto transmission with 2800rpm torque convertor, over 4g's spent at Advanced Transmissions. Trans in very good condition, could go into 300zx if parted out?

BRAKES AND SUSPENSION: Bendix heavy duty pads, fairly new front rotors, unsure of exact km's, but spent over $800 when changing the brakes about a year and a half ago. Active Q45 suspension, however accumulators seem to be pretty flat, so a little more may be required or swap to coilovers.

WHEELS AND TYRES: 17x10inch rims at rear, and 17x8inch fronts. They came from Japan but i'm unsure of the brand, on other forums Veilside has been suggested, however i'm 100%, see photos for details. Wrapped in more or less BRAND NEW Hankook RS-2's! Engine went very shortly after fitting the tyres :P

ECU: The standard ECU was sent to the States for retuning by NICO (see nicoclub.com forums for details). Switchable ECU with 4 engine maps, ranging from stock (better fuel economy etc, to a 'Stage 3' setting with increased power and very free revving), estimated 20-30kw gain from this tune.

BODYKIT: Bodykit came on the car from Japan, and the manufacturer is unknown, the car was bought from Jeff at C-Red Tuning in WA, and he informed me that the kit is a Wise-Sports Kit. There are a number of marks in the front bar including a tow ball puncture (thanks supermarket..), but otherwise its in quite good condition.

INTAKE/EXHAUST: Blitz LM Core Air Filter, and Modified Exhaust (Still legal but a nice deep note).

REASONS FOR SELLING: Well I've managed to do something stupid enough to ensure that I'm going to lose my licence after going to court. Need to get a lawyer pretty quick... So rather than take the time to get the car repaired and then selling it as I had previously planned, I'm going to have to sell it ASAP :rofl:

I would have made up something about going overseas etc. but hey shit happens...

This car has been very enjoyable to drive and own for the last few years and i'll be sad to see it go, electric everything, aftermarket CD player and such with new 6x9's in the back. Electric sunroof and seats..

The photos were taken a little while back, so the damage to the front bar is not seen.

I strongly believe that the person who buys this car and fixes is getting a good bargain, or if the car was parted out it would be likely to make more in parts than what I am selling it for, (rims, trans, throttle body, tires, all very sellable)

Any questions or want to have a look or make an offer just call or text me on 0405 023 009, or email [email protected]

Thanks for your time :)

fark these things are rare....

ive seen front cuts in sydney go for $1500, so replacing the engine shouldnt be a problem... may as well get a turbo manifold fabbed up while ya at it...

boosting these things should be illegal. absolutly insaneness

good luck selling in this markets current state....

if i was hanging around it would of made a great project car.

Thanks for the luck mate,

Yeah prob not the best time to be selling, but not much choice hey.

Yeh front cuts go pretty cheaply if you look around, if i had the time and spare cash it'd be my own project car :D haha

Cheers

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
