and why not registered?

I dotn wanna see someone buys it then have to wreck it cuz its not registerble under new SEV LAW :(

Yeah, what he said. If it don't have a compliance plate it will cost you about 5 grand to get it complianced before it can be registered. And that is IF it can be done.

Check this angle out before parting with any cash. It could cost you a lot more in the long run.

cecam .......i thort that they were 4 speed auto's with the 4th locking the convertor.........no auto i know of is actually overdrive...they just use a slightly lower ratio in the diff to give that impression.......but if i am wrong then i am wrong.......good to learn summin new every now and then

oh yeah...not registered...its being sold as is...but ive not looked under the bonnet yet....to see if it is complianced.....im not worried bout rego, just compliance

Even if it is complied then it will cost you a thousand to put it on road (registration plates etc)

Be very suspicous of the guy selling it as it is considerably cheaper than current market value.

Try and get him to complete an RSCV report or equivelent. It's still alot of money and if it isn't complied then forget about it

v8skylinemanmelb ,

only consider it if it has a compliance plate look elsewhere if it doesnt . if its its in good nick the price sounds good but i would prefer to pay a little more and get a turbo but thats personal opinion .

by the way these days just about all autos are overdrive ( top gear that is) , just like all manuals are as well .

Yep, your wrong, 4th is an overdrive, they achive this by driving the pinion carrier.

locking the converter gets rid of the 10% slip that occurs in a TC, so it may seem like another gear.

    • Awesome mate, sounds like an awesome car! My 33 has the 400R/Nismo front and rear bumpers and side skirts. They're in terrible condition though so I either need to fix them up or toss them and get new, standard bumpers and skirts. I wish the Nismo stuff was FRP not fibreglass as they're always one nudge away from complete destruction! 
    • Thanks mate 馃憤 The car was brought into the UK by a USAF mechanic until he was stationed back to the US, one owner later I bought her back in 2009. Luckily the only corrosion was on the sill seams, so once taken back to metal and treated and sealed all ok, I then undersealed the car myself and check yearly and treat any corrosion which to be honest is zero. She's garaged most of the time and hardly ever driven in the rain, but as you say most are rotten unfortunately, I was lucky in finding her as she was and still is in excellent condition.  
    • Stunning car.  Looks amazing!  You're in the UK?  How the hell do you stop your car rotting away beneath you?  British cars are the WORST I've ever seen in regards to rust.  Some of the cars SR Autobody have done are borderbeyond saving.
    • not a date code? or a foundry code? 
    • I have up to date pics of the engine build and turbo conversion over on my instagram @skpro_jects if you want to take a deeper look.   Basically the exhaust manifold is straight bolt on and the ports match (they arent any smaller than a 25 or 26 head).    the intake ports are different shape so the 20/25det manifold will bolt up but wont match properly or seal. You will need to port match using the 25det gasket as a stencil. Personally i ran the entire stock 20neo intake setup and have configured the swirl valves and torque valve to work based on my custom parameters to help with off boost response and spool. But this is using a standalone aem v2 ecu. The stock 20det ecu wont be able to control them.
