Anyway boys let’s get back on track.............

This V-Spec 2 that is in Melbourne - http://www.carpoint.com.au/all-cars/dealer/details.aspx?R=AGC-AD-15966156&Cr=1

The more I look at the ad the more I'm convinced how attractive the car is.

Let me quote this from the ad:

· This car is original down to the radio, shift knob, shift boot and standard exhaust system, with only the addition of a MOMO steering wheel. It also retains the ultra-rare factory forged BBS 17x8 inch wheels with as close to factory spec tyres as available Since arriving at our workshop in Australia it has undergone a full service including changing all the fluids: gearbox, transfer case, differentials, engine oil, coolant and brake fluid. The car comes with all books from Japan as well as the de-registration paper and auction sheet to verify the kilometres and that the car does not have an accident history. The vehicle will also come with a Victorian roadworthy certificate, 12 months registration and optional warranty.

Has anyone looked at the car? I'd love to know how it presents in real life. They all look good in pics....

That said, condition can be improved with money, missing rare parts can also be purchased but at a substantial premium.

Books, De-reg papers, auction reports and being accident free is a different kettle of fish.

The car is located at: Carizma International 21 Duke St, Abbotsford, Vic 3067

Please let us know what you think if you have a look at it.

Cheers...... Bob.

So $30k drive away after on road costs.

Unfortunately cant see the auction papers clearly for grade and markings etc even after capturing and increasing view using paint.net. A 4b or 4.5 would be exciting. A phone call is required but as Bob said (and it's probably keeping you awake at night) your post above has me thinking finances. JOC would be handy about now but you would expect legit as papers etc posted in advertisement. Looking forward for some one to report back after casting a careful eye over this one. A flight to Melb may be in order for Tuesday Bob?.

Edit. Top right hand box has a 3.5 in it.

Yep 3.5.......

I may be able to afford the car and flight, BUT not the DIVORCE!!!!!!!!!

Bob.

Haha, might do, I might on sell this one. Still looking for an N1, still.................

You dont have to look for too long, one is up tommorrow at USS Tokyo, 50,000kms, grade 4B, passed in last week at around $43K L&C. $55K+? large should get it.

Thankfully no sign of rust in mine, but I fully expect that some will come to light when I have the paint redone and replace all of the mouldings and rubbers in time.

How many changes to the ADM Bob, 128 right?

The aerial and side indicators were added to meet local compliance, amongst other things...gives it an RC Car look :)

    • Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.
    • hrmmm , not mine , easter plans to pull engine not happening     
    • I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4
    • Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all.
