Price drop 4K eh????

That mean your now looking for about $8000.00 now?????????

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I think you should take the 2K offer because that's about what it's worth.

The condition of the paint work makes it a BARE METAL RESPRAY and they are expensive, if it's going to be brought back to it's former self. 5K Plus for this, not to mention the replacement cost of the necessary panels & the lower front skirt which is only available ex Japan.

I purchased my Paul Newman version coupe for $5000.00 and it is in very near perfect condition and many streets & blocks ahead of this car you're trying to sell. I also bought a genuine DR30 coupe in lots better condition than yours for $3400.00, so I still say your dreaming thinking of anything near the figure you expect.

I also know of the 2 other Paul Newman cars in Oz & I could buy both of them for less than $8000.00 each and they need absolutely ZERO work to be done to them, as they are now in excellent condition and what's more "THEY ARE RARE".

Don't listen to MAG86, he's just blowing wind up your ass, import or not, your car needs a LOT of TLC and other than the L20ET motor, it's just another R30 sedan which are a dime a dozen.

You might be well advised to take any offer around $2000.00 before you're calling SIMS to come and take it away for free.

Cheers, D

the price is $4k total.... much more money has been spent on this car and the only thing it needs is a paint job. - so if you spend $3-4k on paint you'd have an exceptional car for less than $10k

Note to Ghostrider: F off you old tool! you got a good deal on your paul newman and that would have probably been around the same time i bought mine nearly 8 years ago so get over your self.....

no RWC

but i can tell you what it would need...

washer bottle for wipers (i took it out when i move the air filter but still have the water pump/motor and hoses)

remote swich for the horn (the boss kit for the wheel doesn't meet the brass pin for the horn)

rear demister switch (it burnt out)

new fuse for the hazard lights (burnt out the other week i think)

don't have the time to run around to wreckers to grab those things at the moment but all would be easy to find and put in yourself

Just a question and a free bump... Your gallery pics include:

pretty much original except for whelding up the stock bleed value and putting a damn loud blitz BOV on

Can it get a roadworthy with welded bleed valve, BOV and pod filter?

cheers,

factory bleed valve was faulty and would have cracked the mainfold to remove and refit a new one and the air filter is semi inclosed and can easily be turned into a full contained box if need be

if i got a RWC would you consider making an offer..

car is obviously fully complied, and has current registration in vic. When i changed over the plates from QLD to VIC all vic roads wanted was the chassis/vin numbers and the rego was simply changed over.

not sure what the rules are in vic but i would have thought someone could just have the rego and ownership changed into their name and all would be apples.

Hi Dave,

There are two ways to change ownership..

1. Transfer the rego and ownership with a valid RWC. The RWC has to be done by a licensed tester. Sometimes the seller pays for the RWC or the buyer might agree to pay for it.

2. You hand in the plates (and maybe get a refund on part of the reg) and sell it unregistered. The new owner has to then get the car re-registered which requires an inspection. Not sure if Vic Roads has to see the car or if they'll accept a RWC.

cheers,

an inspection was needed if i didn't have the vin/chassis number handy. It was thought to have the FJ20 motor in it due to a f**k up when it was originally imported... It was thought that a 2.0 badge on the boot meant FJ not L20 so you may be able to slide an FJ in there with minimal hassles.. The original owner in Brisbane who imported tried to have it changed but no joy and back then four bangers were cheaper to rego so he gave up... Same thing happened to me when i first had it insured it was on Shannons books as an FJ same as rego and no one wanted to change it so meh...

I'm sure i'll be able to get my hands on an RWC if you'd like that easy of mind for a rego/ownership transfer

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
