I called the seller and told him I'll pay via bank cheque, he wanted cash but i explained to him its the same thing? He may have thought i said Personal Cheque? although I have no idea between the both of them. Commerce isnt my strong point >_<

He told me the name to put the bank cheque under anyways so yeah..

Mate either way.

If you're not comfortable with heaps of cash, bank cheque is the best option.

A bank cheque, you pay the money in advance, so the seller is guaranteed that the funds are there.

i.e The cheque cannot bounce.

Whereas a personal cheque, can bounce, if there are insufficient funds.

However it takes 3 days for them to clear (like a personal cheque) quicker if he's willing to pay for special clearance.

Explain that to him and I think he'll be happy, can't blame him for being hesitant in regards to a standard personal cheque lol.

Bank Cheques can sometimes bounce aswell....just though i'd let every-one know.

Make sure you have insurance covered before you pick up your car.

Good luck :)

Yup.

I just didn't want to mention 'how' over the net :), for obvious reasons, because it involves shiftyness on the drawers behalf (person buying the bank cheque, in this case, buyer.)

Lol, that brings back memories

Bank cheque created. Told Comm bank was buying a car and asked me if I want commbank car insurance. They said they will check up the quote for me and said I was declined haha. No suprise there

Picking up car on Tuesday and taking to vicroads at 11am for rego. Should be legally on the road by 1pm.

I could come to the sau vic meeting on the same day (15th) but i have to learn how to drive/park the huge thing :) (comparing to the auto Getz ive been driving)

lmao they drive like a small car imo.

or maybe im just use to it

^^, car rego'd and sitting on my driveway.

VicRoads were a c**t, they didnt give me rego because i had 17's instead of 16's and due to the spoiler. I removed the spoiler and left the brackets on, and he still said no. So i had to unbolt the friggen brackets which was hard enough as not all screws could have been accessed from the underbody of the boot lid.

All good now, although my oil is low haha.

Will get more pics later

Im off to drive :D

Why no rego for 17"s? Its not illegal. In vic you can go as big as you want in diameter for wheels, as long as the rolling diameter doesnt increase by much.

Good to see you got it in the end though. This is why i always go to Dromana Vicroads - they dont deal with imports very often as you could expect...

on the consumer information notice it stated, 225/50 R16 Nexen, but it didnt match up with the set of 17's i had on. So had to go back and swap them over. Removing the brackets off spoiler really pissed me off as it wasnt even an obstruction.

Racepace said oil pressure is lowish.

Car was sitting above E with 95ron and i quickly put in some 98ron from 7-11 as I couldnt wander off too far from the direct route to vicroads. (or get a fine if pulled over)

Rare ocasions car idles like crap and isnt stable. Assuming its the 95+crappy 98.

Might drop by to sau meeting today. Although ive never driven in the city and getting used to manual again. (have driven for 2months~)

:D

Another quick pic i took;

Hey i found your car!

http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/modul...hp?StockID=3960

But where's your big Pivot tacho.....hopefully your seller told you it has an "Accident repair history -- supplier reports the repair to be straight and clean."

looks like your dealer just gets cars from prestige and puts his markup on them...:(

but still, if your happy with the car then thats the main thing :)

haha wtf.

Pivot wasnt included but it had the sticky stuff which needs to be cleaned.

Accident repair history? Im guessing it was the back. As my boot lid is missing stickers on both sides and probably had a respray. If it was serious racepace would have picked it up right? haha

Dropped by at the meeting today for a short time. Showed Paulr33 the car, seemed to be all good.

How'd you manage to find that link?

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
