Its been like an epic story in the making this car, hearing you getting it organised to ship from Japan, then getting it here, and now getting these repairs done. Quite an adventure ....

Yea it has been. Even though it was my first time importing, I'm not sure if next time the process will be any quicker. It's a time consuming adventure.

can u get them complied i hear there race use only

This one is a personal import, so it can be road registered.

The car is back from getting the roof fixed. Apparently it looks really good. The bonnet, front left guard and front lip have also been repainted as there were some marks in them. I hope to get some more pictures up soon.

very interested... swap with cash? or just cash, lol can do either, but first do you have any recent pictures?

Sorry about the late reply!! No one seems to be interested in evos (not surprising on a skyline forum) so I hadn't checked thread for a while.

As I live in Japan I am not interested in a swap, sorry. The most recent photos are the bottom two rows of photos on the 1st page, and the the far right pic on the third from bottom row. They were taken just after the car came back from having the roof repaired, late last month.

Send me a PM with your email address and I'll send some more information.

Still ?

What happened to the buyer that you mentioned you had at 21g ? Did they not buy it ?

I'm after more than 21, and he didn't have the cash to go higher.

Kim,

My friend sold a genuine evo III with beautiful compression test, leak down test for $21K only 2 months ago.

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
