Welcome to the jungle dude

Read the forums often, esp the for sale section. Check the national forums in regards to maint, mods and stuff for sale

You'll grow into it. Just start with maintaining ur car as best u can and replacing the worn components to give it another decades worth of use. Once u got that sorted, then u can think about upgrades

Looks very pretty tho. You'll have fun with it, guaranteed

haha cheers fellas. yeah i got the car from a dude i know who bought it from NSW

i live in adelaide btw

the cleaning and makings things how i like has already started with simple things like cleaning it. fixing the dash lights/ putting my dvd player in tomorrow and hooking up my subs and amps in the process.

its only been a couple days, but they really are a ncie car to drive.

EDIT** with the headlights ive been told i can use any polis on the outside with a buff, is this a good idea or just do it by hand?

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
