Yea it's been amazing fun, hope it can go to a good home.

I am not realistically expecting 25g for it, so if anyone is genuinely interested, then please make me an offer!

People will probably want to see the car before being able to make any serious kind of offer .... you'll only most likely get silly offers sight unseen.

By the way, upon sale will it come fully complied with RWC, ready for the new owner to simply take to their local roads authority to register ?

Edited by Simon_Koala

Being a private import it has to be first registered in the name of the person on the import approval, ie. me, and to be registered it obviously first needs to be complianced. So upon sale it will only require the same paperwork as any other used car would.

Here is he latest on getting her back to Australia and registered:

Due to paperwork hassles, it has been put back a ship and will now be arriving around December 20th. After customs/quarantine and transport to my parents place it will have the roof replaced (it probably won't pass roadworthy as it is) and then be fitted with a personal import plate and registered. All this should be finished around early/mid January, when it will be ready to pass on to a buyer.

Received the Bill of Lading from the shipping company today which means she is now on her way to Australia. Will be arriving on December 19th, all going to plan.

I assume you have insurance to cover damage, forklift marks, etc... from the loading onto the ship and for the trip over ?

It's being shipped with KIWI who have insurance included in their price, but on what I've read and heard, trying to get money out of them if the car is damaged is next to impossible. Then again it's apparently true of all the shipping companies, it seems to be a dodgy trade.

The car has arrived and I have recieved the invoice from the broker meaning the car has already passed quarantine/customs and is ready to be transported from the docks.

  • 3 weeks later...

The car has been picked up from the broker in Adelaide and was in perfect condition. It will have the roof fixed hopefully in the next two weeks and then be ready for compliance/registration.

  • 2 weeks later...

It was sent to the panel beaters yesterday to have the roof fixed which should be completed within two weeks. From there it is off to get complied and registered. I know it is taking a long time to get it ready for sale, but for those interested please be patient, the wait is killing me too!

The roof ribs needed replacing and had to be ordered from Japan, which could take up to 15 days. So it looks like she will be at least another month before she gets on the road.

For those interested in the car, I'm sorry about the endless delays. Please bear with me.

It is having its roof fixed at the moment. The ribs had to be ordered from Japan and only came on the weekend. It should be back this week, and then it is off for compliance and registration. When it is registered I will be looking to sell it quickly.

Thanks for the interest Simon!!

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
