I have another car onhold which is capable of much more than 13sec so I think my car has retired from the drags for now. This thing now has to go...

lol @ all the comments offering cash .... what the hell else is he going to take - Visa???

Nice car anyhow, and a free bump!

* Rear tyres are down to wear indicators.

* JVC MP3 Headunit is having 'earthing' problems (paid to get it fixed this morning, but it's having issues again, told a new headunit is probably required).

* Handbrake needs adjusting/tightening and also needs a new leather cover.

* Motul Oil + Valvoline oil/fuel filters change done only 150km ago.

$17,000 not neg until the end of March (can't believe i'm doing this).

:bonk:

DUUUUDE!!! You're out of your mind - I'm conviced of it now. Come on people - I can personally vouch for this car - It's WELL worth the money he's asking for it - Heck, it was well worth the money he was ORIGINALLY asking for it! Someone's got to be interested?? Add a nice set of aftermarket rims and you've got a sweet looking and very well performing ride! Ben doesn't have any kids yet, so this has been his baby for the past couple of years - all I can say is, he's going to make a very good father!!

LOL...congrats:thumbsup:

It was only Friday you were talking PFcs etc etc. Can you tell me how you ened up selling it, Tading Post, Carslaes, word of mouth etc, Offer any selling tips other then bend over ans sell cheaply:)?

As im needing to sell my car as quick as possible (after the respray of course:))

Yeah i've been talking P/FC's and AVC-R's for the last 6mths. Everytime I go to purchase new parts someone would call me with an offer so i'd put my money back in my pocket. Then it'd go quiet for a month so i'd be right i'll keep it and get a PowerFC, then another phonecall :(

Well the best piece of advice I can give is accept your first genuine offer. I spent/wasted 10mths trying to sell this for "the right price" meanwhile the value was dropping quicker than the offers. In the end I think I did the smart thing, weighing up the past and future costs and basically 'got rid of it'. If I'd accepted any of my first 3 offers I would have been laughing compared to my end sale price (err giveaway price).

* 10mths with a sticker on my back window (about 15-20 calls, just enquiries nobody arranged to look at it).

* 2wks in the Tradingpost (2 calls, neither looked at it).

* About 4-5mths on Carsales.com.au (about 10 calls and about 3 people looked at it)

* SAU Forums for 10mths, about 5 calls, 1 looked at it.

Without a doubt Carsales is the way to go (The SAU Forums are good because it's free but buyers are alot more pedantic). I've bought my last 3 vehicles from carsales (and sold 2 of those the 3rd I still have).

Anyway ima wait until the financial year is over, see how my tax goes (first year as a 'sole trader') and then go from there...

If anybody pulls up at a set of lights next to a Hiace van with an SAU sticker on it, give us a wave :)

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
