Another one i asked about A/C he said the heater core is leaking

steer clear of that one...unless you wanna be cold in the winter

i just bought myself a series 2, bog standard (still running stock boost lol) pretty clean, 130k on it (seems genuine) and i paid $9k for it. if you only intend on having it for a couple of years make it nice (coils, wheels, exhaust) and your laughing.

look a a fair few, most of the guys on our SA forum know each other and can tell you the inside out details of each others cars, so answers are always a pm away.

and guys as for A/C i have only ever had it in the starlet and now the new skyline....now that i have it i could never go back :P

Thats a good deal mate. Yea i'll only be driving it a max of 2yrs and i would be selling it off. I'm still trying to find one that has A/C that works! and most of them has the same reply to me stating it needs to be re-gassed.

Btw there is something which i'm unsure. When you get defected, do you just get a notice to get your car checked at regency? Or would there be a blacklist on your driving record stating you had been defected?

nah mate it doesn't go down on your record. the only thing is that it records on the police car check register for 30days after you clear the defect....keep it low brow and you'll be fine

    • At this point I'm just 'hoping' it's the turbo seals. I did speak to someone who said it's normal for these turbos to have a bit of axial play? Not gonna lie I've never checked a turbo for axial play before but you could hear it tapping a bit as I moved it back and forth. Surely that's too much? My theory is (could be completely wrong), bad axial play, worn bearings, bad seals, oil into dump/compressor side, burns in exhaust = blue smoke. On a timing belt related note, my crank pulley was missing that front plate that sits in front of the timing belt. It's that metal round plate. It did have the rear one, and the woodruff keys are in the crank which was nice. Can anyone confirm if the NEO det engine has a front plate, im sure it would to protect the front of the timing belt or something. Water pumps...the pump I got was an NPW (yes grill me if I should've got a genuine one lol). It has a smooth mating surface, kit came with a pretty pathetic looking paper gasket. Do I need to use any RTV or just trust the gasket will work because its a smooth mating surface? Cheers legends have a good Easter break!
    • Cheers man, I thought the same.   Bit of an update on it all. It was definitely blue smoke, not grey after all. It didn't really smell oily but it was blue after all. Also puffing just the smallest amount on idle with no throttle.   I ended up pulling the intake and exhaust off and there was around 3mm of axial play on the turbo shaft. So I figured we'll that's buggered and sent it off to get hi-flowed at hypergear. Haven't got it back yet.   I haven't compression tested it yet. Had a look in the cylinder and cylinder 1 spark plug, looked a bit sooty but not oily. Then I've just started doing my timing belt because it's age is unknown.
    • In that case it is probably stock. It lives in the navigator side footwell behind the plastic trim just in front of the a pillar.
    • Good question, I don't really know tbh...I'm pretty stock thought, where could I check this?
    • This. I'm confused by the whole discussion. The only reason you would have a car with e85 only if it was track use and you only ever used e85. All other use cases you add a flex fuel sensor, do the flex tune (you only need to do a couple of % and then interpolate the rest) and then you put whatever the hell you feel like including a mix in the tank and it just works. Want a long drive? fill with 98 Want max zoom? fill with e85 Got a half tank of 98 then find e85 somewhere? Throw it in.
