-5's are still available Scott.

Doo doo I have the skirts here but its such a hassle to post such a fragile item expecially getting the strength in a box that size. I don't want to send a few hundred $ worth and have you say their damaged and want a refund. I posted a front bar to QLD a while back and by the time I boxed it, then strengthened the box plus driving to the depot I was fairly over it for 2 or 3 hundred dollars. It arrive in perfect condition.

I can't believe somebody in Vic hasn't bought them since there genuine and rare.

gdawg there isn't any real story to the motor. I imported the car which said it had N1 turbos. They were boxed in the boot on arrival. Standard turbos came on the engine. I had some adj cam gears made and fitted them. Same as Nispro cam gears. I fitted the N1 for a few years but they were laggy so I bought -5 thinking they were smaller than -7. I was wrong. The -5 made the same power as the N1 but earlier with 4 psi less boost. The car has only done about 10,000kms since importing it 6 or more years ago. It rarely got driven. Most of the old SAU club can confirm this.

The turbos have no axial shaft play. There is some sideplay but I was told from Ben at Racepace upon purchase he said that all of the ball bearing Garrett turbos get a little movement and then don't get any worse. These haven't changed at all since I've owned them. One of the comp wheels has a few little nicks, they won't effect performance or reliability.

My job involves Rolls Royce 400hp gas turbines for helicopters to General Electric 63500hp aeroderivative turbines for power generation. So what I'm getting at is I know a fair bit about compressors and damage limits.

They can come with water lines if required. I was going to keep them for the engine but if you need them thats okay.

The shell comes has everything minus seats, engine and a gearbox at the moment. I'd take $5k for the shell as is with intercooler etc with all electrics and almost new brakes. This is a firm price for the car almost complete as it saves me the hassle of selling parts individually. I'd make a few more thousand on parts stripping it but I don't think the time it takes is worth it.

Sorry Mark the interior is all there in excellent condition apart from the seats. Wheels only cost me $100 so not worried.

Shells with no brakes diffs or frontend panels, engine bay competely stripped with half of the interior missing sell for $2500.

Kilos if your seriours and not a time waster like 90% of the messages I get. You can have it for $2800 with no interior (not just missing seats) it will have door+rear cards and carpet but thats it, no brakes, wheels or any of the associated components required to run the engine as I stated in the add. It will also be missing front upper arms as it has Cusco arms atm and I thought I had a standard set of arms but I can't find them. Also missing a RH castor rod. I'll just fabricate something to get it moving.
