Most cars on gumtree are utter dirtboxes, if the owner can't even shell out $50 for an advert then what else haven't they shelled out for

i work in a car yard the minute i hear a customer go on about what they have found or what there advertising on gumtree i pretty much show them the door.

If they can fork out $50 to place a good add to sell their car then what are the chances they have enough money to buy a near new car.

And also 9 times out of 10 there looking to swap their cars

100% disagree.

Yes there are shitters of course but there are also nice things.

We are now down to 23 cars boys..........

Yesterday, my mate paid a deposit on a 1 owner low mileage (verified) White 1994 model that was for sale at Carizma International in Melbourne.

It's coming up to Sydney on Monday week........... (May 25).

As a devout Holden man it took me about 3 years to turn him but eventually he gave in!

I don't mind that my car wouldn't be in the feature. I'd be thinking of bringing my own photographer for a personal shoot at Bathurst anyway if it were held there??? Mind boggles.

Adding 2cents worth.

Agreed there is less being advertised, agree prices appear to be going up

An issue I have is the Price vs Quality.

Mostly really well overpriced poor examples up for sale at the moment.

I'm particularly Talking about the ones on Carsales ATM.

    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
