That looks amazing Baron. Awesome.

The headlight thing will polish out.

Whereabouts are you based?

The headlight is a bit odd, but I am confident it is nothing serious - more detailed pictures are expected tomorrow....... not too worried considering the provenance of the vehicle.

Will be based in Melbourne eventually.

Andreas, congratulations on your purchase. That is a rare find.

I know when I bought mine Steve at JJ said to buy it (advertised privately) because for him to get me one I would have to take what he could get, be it a $15k POS or $30k stunner. That was 3+ years ago now.. I still can't find words to describe how jealous I am of the latest edition either..

Rare enough that I thought we'd never find anything similar after we got Cherry Racer's car. This is once in 2 years-type.

I am eternally grateful ;-)

Holy crap! That's awesome.

We need to find you some nice mats Baron.

Are there reflectors on the rear edge of the doors? Were they an accessory?

Love the wind deflectors still in place.

I wonder what the following items are:

- object top left of dash, near left a-pillar

- object in passenger footwell

- recangular object to left of steering wheel

So cool! Sweeeeet car!

Absolutely beautiful!

Can someone tell me what the sticker is on the radiator fan shroud with the blue circle/dot?

Mine previously had it but no longer. Trying to track one down.

If we can get a close up, might be able to decipher. AC refrigerant label/type?

no idea on that yet - I believe from some of my japanese collegues at work that it could be some type of 'e-tag' tolling thingy......

- object in passenger footwell

that's a bin (yup - odd I know ;-)

- recangular object to left of steering wheel

- thats the connector of a cable dangling out of the centre vent - apparently connected to whatever was sitting on a mount on the centre dash - see attached picture for opposite side view. will be a pain to get rid of the mount I fear - depending on glue.....)

any ideas on where to find one would be apopreciated.... :-0

I would be trying to track down an original radio too Baron.
Very nice.

Mine has marks from similar aerials on the rear screen and from something having been glued to the dash in a similar place (but slightly different shape of "foot print") which was all part of an ancient and massive GPS system, the dash mount was for the screen, the aerials were for TV, the object on the dash might be GPS antenna. Mine still had the screen in the glovebox, but it was confused as all hell by being in Aus.. The mark on my dash is pretty hard to see where they took the mount off, it does however literally look like a boot mark, and raised a few questions when I first looked at the car..

Well the auction sheet apparently mentioned a similar navigation system so it'll be interesting to find out exactly. Maybe my screen is still in the glove box too....

    • I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs. 
    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
