Here is a 1997 Holden Barina that I have had some fun with

Instead of the boring old bubble car, I decided to make something different.
some mods I have made are-
- Front yellow fog lights
- "Custom" front Opel Badge, with most of the Holden insignia removed
- A rear Opel badge from the 1920-30's hanging as 'drift candy'
- Roof racks with ski racks and skis
- "Blast pipe" style exhaust tip
- It has a front plastic lip that has a few nice touches to it (fatlace decal, cable ties that do nothing and a opel lapel badge tied on)
- The front number plate is intentionally tilted for more madness
- Aftermarket front speakers (Sony from memory)
- It has windscreen wiper visors
- A CAMS sticker
- I also have a half finished duckbill rear spoiler for the buyer

NB: The car currently has watanabe style rims on it but these are NOT included with sale, instead you will be getting 4 steelies with basically new tread.

This car has been my daily for the last 6 months or so whilst I got my other car back on the road, so it is time to sell. Exterior is average/good condition with some panel damage on the passenger side, Interior is great condition and mechanically perfect. It has very low k's, is ever reliable- I have never had any issues at all with the car and I am going to miss the economy of this car (40L will get you over 600k's). It also has twin front airbags and a A/C switch, but it does not seem to blow any colder, so it may need regassing or the A/C doesnt exist, I don't know.

$1500 ono

Price does not include registration, but if you get your own RWC, I will include current rego (until May) at no cost. For RWC I think it may need rear brakes (a little squeaky) and the front lip is probably a little too low.

Not looking for swaps unless it is one of the following-
NA MX5
240Z/260Z 2 seater
Z10 Soarer
HR31 Skyline
AW11 MR2

MSGs only please, no calls- 04 double2 double9 7 double2 3

    • It's not as simple as it is being made out to be. It s not hard, but there are things that have to be done. Am busy right now, but will try to essay later.
    • Pinout is different to my knowledge, but you should confirm to be sure. Also you will need to adjust the VQ table in Nistune to suit. I would still recommend sticking with recirculating BOVs, I'm not sure if the R35 card MAF will fully resolve stalling caused by reversion/throttle lift.
    • What issues are those? Previous owner said it wants to stall sometimes. We did test drive and it was nice and smooth so it will be sporadic or idk. And if i just change MAF(the sensor to R35 version) it should be better? And as i asked...is it like "plug n play" with oem MAF from R34?  This is a MAF from R35 right?
    • Even with no BOV you will have issues unless the MAF is a hot film type like the R35 which has some design features to deal with reversion. Hot wire MAFs are very sensitive.
    • So i just change the (whatever is inside ma original MAF and slide the R34 MAF (it is gonna fit right in? ) and somewhere on the hot side a BoV...i presume that would be vented to the atmo? I just "trying" to understand...maybe my mechanic would know this   I would not mind(even prefer) to run stock BoV cuz it is way more than fine but i do not have that and only pipeing what is left is oem J pipe ... I will be running Blitz fmic(to fit oem one side style) and i gonna need custom pipes cuz i do not have rest of those pipes and hoses... But i am want standalone ECU. Only choice i have atm is Nistune...but that is not gonna cut it right?I dont know what Nistune can and cant do... I know you guys know Link and Haltech...but whatabout ECUmaster? I know guys in here run those but i literally do not know about that and do not know differences... Just know to take whatever "my" tuner can work on.
