hi guys , once again i wanna just say i am totally thxful for the support.

Now what i am going to ask might sound a lil mean to some but i ask coz i think it is the best course of action. i not really 100% about buying a car, it depends ona few certain situations but would someone be able to check the car out for me, preferably someone with a R34 GTT who knows his stuff about the car. i cant pay you for the job so i ask that someone pockets the burden in their free time. it is no imperative that someone should do it, only if people have the free time and are interested coz i cant pay.

Should give us a chance to have a look at N1 Distribution and Evo R, both stacked to the roof with cool performance gear!

From there we will head to the unsuspecting sellers house and check out this machine :rofl:

I will see you guys down at Evo-R / N1 around 12:30 - but i won't go to the guys place unless you told him that a few people will be coming to check it out - I personally don't think its a nice thing to do to someone - unsuspectingly, have all these ppl rocking up.

cheers

elad.

OK, well the jobs done, in and out without a hitch :rofl:

But on a serious note four of us went down and checked the car out and took some pics for you SliM. PM me your e-mail and we can have a chat about it but overall seems like a resoanble buy. I think he'd be keen to work out a luck golden special price for you too as I get the feeling he's keen to move it as he's heading back to malaysia.

I so want those Defi gauges too! :)

The car and it's owner thinking "holy crap batman, what is going on!"

Some things I picked up:

There was a second B.O.V plumbed [t-piece] into the intake, a Blitz item possibly SSQ / Supersonic type. Look at the engine pic from the side and you'll notice an extra vacuum hose running along the intercooler pipes to the front - the blitz bov sits underneath the air intake snorkel - the owner had no idea that it was even there - factory bov is also fitted and working so you can choose how you want to run it: stock, or not!

C.A.S timing was set to a fairly retarded setting - not really a problem but I would be setting to 15+ degrees personally! Owner told me he always uses Optimax so thats a plus!

I thought the front bar had a crack in it, I could be wrong though, around the centre at the bottom - can't see clearly in pic.

I actually saw this car when it was in a car yard in Melb - Success Motor Imports, Nepean hwy, [now closed, victims of RAWS i guess]. This owner bought it from them approx. 18 months ago I think he said.

Adam test drove it a little so you can discuss that via email. Though he did say "the clutch was different in this car"??? I don't know what clutch he was using??? Sorry mate it had to be said, needless to say we all had a chuckle :)

A generally nice looking car, the owner added the GTR wing & front bar himself and I assume the gauges / electric extras as they were not on the car in the car yard - wheels were though, nice wheels! Not sure if they are actually Nissan wheels or just centre caps?

I didn't check or ask what suspension it had but it sat nice and low at both ends - again Adam can tell you what he thought of the driving characteristics.

Couldn't figure out I/C brand and owner didnt know either but it was a decent size!

Some loose wiring hanging out the back of the headlight [see side engine pic and you can spot a blue wire or 2] which seemed a bit odd as: headlight assembly's are the Halogen type [not Xenon] so I assume the globes are halogen also. These are the compliance headlights, maybe he has done a Xenon conversion but I don't think so. Everything else under the bonnet looked as it should.

Plenty of extras and a nice looking car for that price I think :rofl:

    • Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems
    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
