Thanks mate.

I'm pretty happy with it.

Missus hate's the gold rims - and i'm tempted to get them painted a colour that will accentuate the Brembos more so might do that when the next set of tyres are due.

Planning some upgrades for the headlights, and then just some creature comfort stuff like GPS headunit and upgrade the front speakers - but other than that, it's pretty much the want it.

I bought one of these for it - it's an in-car camera that records crash events/GPS location/motion activated recording when car is parked. I commute in heavy traffic every day and have had a lot of near misses due to bad drivers - great tool if push comes to shove in an insurance claim. I have also had a previous car keyed in a hotel car park - so this will hopefully help me relax a bit more.

Care to post a list of mods other than appearance? I like that Nismo bumper a lot :)

Good idea i could use one of those for the retarded Mackay drivers..

- Tein S-tech springs

- Whiteline sway bars F&R

- SPC rear camber kit

- Brembos F&R

- RDA Slotted rotors

- VOLK LE37

- 5/16 Plenum spacer

- Carbon Fibre Z tube

- JWT pop charger

- grounding kit

- Berk Hi flow cats

- Exotic speed Y-Pipe

- Apexi WS2 exhaust

- Works Bell paddle shifters

- Nismo front bar

thats about it I think.

Yeh the paddle shifters are fantastic. I need an auto car for the work commute - but the paddle shifters mean I can have some inolvement with the driving when I want. Shiftkit is on the 'to do' list for sure.

It's an '03 with approx 60,000kms on it - and the price I won't say. but I having been watching the market for the past couple of months and I will say it was very much towards the high end of the scale. Most would say I paid too much but this car was in such good condition with a good history, good paperwork, and good mods - there were no compromises; so I was prepared to pay.

I'm yet to see one with the paddle shifters. I have a mate that's in the process of doing the transgo and he's pretty keen.

Okay judging by that i'd guess low 20s which isn't paying too much. I paid too much for mine, bought it with 80,000km bone stock $21,000 lol.. but it is a manual so give or take a couple grand cheaper for a stock auto.

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
