  1. hopefully all sorted i was contacted by the workshop today and they have offered to buy the car off me for more or less my insurance write off price so they dont have to warrent any more repairs. thanks guys for all the info. p.s if anyone knows of a 32 33 for around 10k thats not on the for sale thread let me know
  2. yer i think ill have to give the accc a call just incase. The misses dad owns a panel shop and he can't belive the condition the car is in and how unproffesional they have been. Its the last time i pick up a car in a rush without leaving enough time to check it out
  3. engine defintly sucked water pulled the intake off and was full of water and went back and checked it the next day and there was heaps of water in the oil. Didn't hydro lock car coughed and splutted and died then i had to start it again as it all happened on a corner down a hill so had to start it and drive up the street after nearly getting cleaned up by a truck (just cars don't do tows of a night). yer it blows smoke not much at idle but heaps when driving. The car is insured with just cars i've spoke to them and they have said theres a life time warrenty on repairs so it should get fixed i just want a ruff idea of what should be done because im not picking it up this time until everything is done (they didnt even replace the airfilter the first time). I don't want to try and screw them for a new engine ill just be happy with the car in the same condition as before the water.
  4. hi all, recently in all this rain we have had i stupidly ended up sinking my r33 resulting in the engine sucking water and stalling. Insurance decided not to rebuild the engine just to repair. Since picking up the car its been blowing oil out the exhaust, getting heaps of oil out of the breather (never happened before), dropping oil pressure randomly, and there is a massive tick on acceleration (sounds like a vw bug). i sent it back to get repaired again but i think they are just going to dodgey it up again. what im after is some advice on the bare minium things everyone thinks should be changed since every mechanic ive spoke to says it shouldv'e been a full rebuild in the first place, so i can't understand why it only had an oil change and flush and the a/c pump replaced. thanks

    260rs Owners

    Yer ive got one aswell, it's up for sale in the for sale section as we speak tho so hopefully not for to much longer..
  10. sorry about the delayed reply.. Fuel economy is not something ive realy paid atten to because the car was only driven on weekends the amount of fuel i used didn't realy matter... I think it all comes down to how you drive the car
  11. Thanks mate.. Its got 99000km and a little bit of change. I got the car at 91000km or so just under a year ago i only ever drive it on weekends which is why its up for sale to help fund my house.....
  12. Time to sell my pride and joy as i am buying a house and have a baby on the way. I have had the car a year and i am the first owner in Australia. The car has never let me down and always turns heads where ever i take it. The specs as it sits now: Same running gear as R33 GTR (Atessa AWD) RB26 Twin turbo Short shifter fitted Brembo brakes all round 3 1/2" turbo back exhuast Apexi AVC-R boost controller running 10PSI Front mount TEIN adjustable coilovers All mods were done in Japan before i got it. Just had major service (timing belt, water pump, injectors serviced, all oils and filters etc) It is a very clean car and has always been looked after by mature age owner and detailed by a professional every 3 months (inc paint protection). Any questions dont hesitate to call or MSG after 12PM $19,000 NEG or will consider part trade of 4wd NO TIME WASTERS AFTER QUICK SALE!!! Daniel - 0433 253 491(after 12pm)
  13. Im not 100% sure but i think its a heavy vehicle trip camera to stop truck drivers doing over there max hours for the day without breaks.......
