As the title says, I am thinking of getting a car that's in Lismore (I'm in melb).

But I don't wanna fly up there to find out the car is a sh1tter!!!

If there is anyone in the area that could look at a car for me, please reply.

The Ad is attached below.

What I want to know is (besides overall condition):

- Any rust? (I dont care if the spray job is not in the best condition, and I dont care if there are a few small dents, scuffs, etc)

- How is the interior?

- Does the conversion appear to be done professionally?

- Have the brakes, brake master cylinder been upgraded?

- Have the hubs been changed over (5 stud)

- Has the diff, rear axels been upgraded?

- Fuel pump upgraded?

I doubt most of those have been done at that price, but if it is not an inconenience for someone else, I would appreciate it...

Thanks

Hey mate, sorry I'm a bit late.. hehe had a look at this car, looking to buy it for myself a few months ago.

Had a quick look at it myself (unfortunately I don't know much about cars) but it was engineered for the engine conversion, brake upgrade (Nissan and Subaru calipers from memory, about 260mm-280mm rotors, smaller rotors at the front though so must've had the better calipers there?) and suspension (yellow Koni springs). Had all the info documented, but that's about all I can remember. Oh, interior seemed alright except the factory Tacho wasn't wired for the new engine.

Overall the car looked in pretty good condition to me, but then again I didn't take a look under the bonnet or anything, so who knows..

Not sure if they still have it, probably been sold.. but if I see it for sale I'll let you know!

Hi, I'm 1/2 hours drive from Lismore. Tried to ring Dealer, but no answer so far.. From my experience, Authorities interstate many times won't accept Engineering reports from uther sTATES. mAYBE YOU SHOULD CHECK WITH vICrOADS? cAR SOUNDS TOO GOOD FOR THE PRICE, CONSIDERING THAT ANY OF THE 'APPROVED ENGINEERS' here are pretty thorough, and if done by them, pretty good job. I'll keep trying 'phone # and let you know. {{Shift lock stuck}}

    • Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
    • This is going to be a mid week evening cruise. Come along and join us for a drive out to Palm Beach. This is a change of event plans after talking to some of the older members of the club. SAU NSW is planning on hitting Old Pac again shortly, stay tuned for details. When: Thursday 26th of June Time: 7:30pm meet/8:00pm departure/10:00pm finish Meet: Spit West Car Park / Spit Rd Mosman NSW 2088 Destination: Palm Beach Public Parking / 16 Ocean Rd Palm Beach NSW 2108 Up to date information as always can be found on the events page of our website, the link for this event is https://www.saunsw.com.au/events/palm-beach-cruise There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
    • Good time for a carbon roof  
    • Not in any way aroused by any of those, except maybe the big AMGs. And that would break my never a Euro, ever, rule.
    • You got any more detailed photos of the tow ball set up?
