Congrats rowan.

Its a nice car... All it needs are, nicer wheels, 5/6spoke type, preferably in bronze/silver.

And the exhaust tips are ugly, change them

AND, i'm interested in another soarer, but i can't afford one now, hahaha!

as i said - if anyone's interested in another soarer talk to myself, or the masked baron that's helping me out - (dont wanna name drop incase he doesn't wanna, he can disclose any and all info about the masked baron)

but yeah - if anyone is interested in a pearl white 97 Lpackage soarer with wald bodykit and 18" mesh type wheels and exhausts, talk to me...

106xxx km single turbo vvt 1J

did i say it was an L package yet? =)

oh and lowered too...

EDIT: pearl white soarer is clean, no rust was grade 4.5 (or 4 can't remember) B grade exterior and B grade interior (like new for it's age)

and no i'm not changing those exhausts i love them! they're the lexus IS F exhausts :kiss:

oh noes it's missing a stereo that has language and touch screen in japanese with a japanese GPS sat nav that has no use in australia

...guess i'll just have to buy a pioneer touch screen double din then :kiss:

guise - it's misisng it's stereo because owner obviously replaced orig with aftermarket and kept the stereo for his next car, this is not uncommon to happen, also

i think this would also explain the high offset 17" work vsxx

for all i know the car may have had 20" riverside trafficstars and been a TAS competitor or something (unlikely but you never know)

i'm not going to disclose much more info about this car cos ... it's mine and i haven't GOT it yet

but i do however know that the interior retrim has been performed by a top retrim shop in J ... i beleive the brand is embroidered on it somewhere??

it's an interesting piece of kit :D

and shan - STAY OUTTA MAI LIFE! haha

and no i didn't pay THAT much for it - but if i disclose the figure i'm going to get a million and forty knuckle draggers saying "you could have got one for less if you just bought locally"

oh hello

good news everyone

i'm at my desk here at work, i just scratched my cheek and turns out i have a very juicy ripe pimple beneath my skin

now if you'll excuse me i must go to the mens' and play what i like to call "colour in the mirror glass"

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
