When I get off defect I am going to sell my car, get a motorbike, then contemplate the car I will buy next. Its police that make enthusiasts regret buying the cars they love. f**k them anyway.

as long as u dont have any regrets in selling the car go for it.....just make sure u think it through bro.....my car is pretty much stocko and it still goes well....

Mine looks 100% stock; even the exhaust is hard to pick yet it still goes ok. /edit better not really say that. :P

If I were to do it again I'd buy something with mods already done. Its so damn expensive to do it from scratch..

Selling modded cars you get bugger all because people thing oh no they are thrashed.. yet really.. the bits that get thrashes are so cheaply replaced in the grand scheme of things.

As long as the body, paint and interior are good.. who cares. :)

Owning mine since 2001 and never being slapped with a defect I must admit I do feel my time is running out. Good thing I have a spare motor sitting here lol :D

Sorry for spamming Ash. consider it a free bump lol.

hmm...iv got a 30E sitting here with a head to go on it, just hasnt been rebuilt. Still need a box tho and the tailshaft modded etc.

if i sold my head for about a grand, the engine for 100, that would mean id need 6g odd for u.

in the scheme of things tho, 1.5g for the box, 1.8g for the turbo, 300 for the mods to tail shaft etc, 1 odd g for the pfc, 1 odd g for the rebuilding, 300 for the afm, 1g for the clutch....

pretty DAMN good deal if u ask me. Just such a pitty im lacking the money atm. at most id have like 2-3g fresh money after i sell the engine. Little cheaper and id almost definately get it with a bit of messing round.

and then there's all the little hidden costs that people don't allow for, can't think of them all at the moment but here's a few for example:

modded engine mounts

valve springs

modded exhaust

modded cooler piping

new water pump

speedo mod for 25 box

oil/water lines for turbo

as you can see it all adds up quickly.

with this package there is basically nothing left to do but shove her in the engine bay.

He'd be the one crying, when you can get a 2J on special atm at Jap Import Spares for $2.5k..........

Still cant believe this hasnt sold to a RB nut!!

haha, good one!

no rush Darren, have 3 people pretty keen on it, just waiting til after tax time!

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
