^^^^ or not as he didnt accept the offer I just made. :) Gotta be fatalistc about these things.

Selling the car for more than you paid for it cause you spent heaps on it to maintain it as basically the same car, doesnt justify a higher selling price in my books. :)

^^^^ Yeah, I am hearing you. He may decide to keep it and persevere with it in the club motorsport scene here in wa..... or I might get a phone call in a month or so when he has suffered enough dreamers/tyrekickers. :) Cant imagie there are too many people out there buying at the moment.

Keyte has has his GT-R and Evo on and off my105 for 3-4 years now. I see the simpson BMW that had the big hit on Mt Black is up for sale

did your old evo have problems during Targa west blaise? I thought I saw it stopped on the side of the road in the doco

^^^ Yeah he did,

we soo milked all the good luck out of that car at targa tas. :)At Targa West the clutch gave out (I had told him it was due but the one he ordered didnt arrive in time) and also he buggered the front struts. (Leaks etc) Although if you see the pics of the car in prologue massively airborne of a speedbump (what sort of prologue has speedbumps I ask ya??? lol) its no wonder they let go. Apparently they were leaking onto the front brakes and making them hit and miss as well. I did chat with him and he kind of agrees it was a good thing the clutch let go as the braking thing was getting dangerous but he was keen to keep pressing on. Could easily have ended in tears.

take a look on my105 at all the cars that have been for sale for months, some over 12 months. Car is a depreciable asset and is only worth what the next person is willing to pay!

Yeah Timmy,

its gotta be a car someone wants and the price has to be sensible. Both Snowy and I sold our cars pretty quickly, but I think both were reasonably sensible prices and decent cars. Was chatting to Snowy about it today. We agreed that people dont seem to do themselves any favours pricing their cars high trying to cherry pick and then dropping the price later. eg Newton putting his on at 65k and within weeks its at 55k. People start asking all sorts of questions....

Anyways - Targa regs.

The goal posts have moved...... again.

Elf 102RON is back (if you drive a Mazda RX8-SP) AND you can now change your twin turbo set-up to a single turbo arrangement.

So everybody strap on your Borg Warner EFR and go racing!!

That is BS. So basically the series is moving from a production car based series to a "run what ya brung" series. Would make it more appealing to hacks like me and more accessible to a wider range of cars but not sure you want to be opening up this type of motorsport to hacks like me and even facter cars ?

Surely this means an R33 GTS25t can run an aftermarket tubo, if so then all of a sudden they look like pretty good things for "liltte dullahs"

Snowy,

what cars can run singles? Still excludes the SS cars? ie GTR in modern?

Are we just talking about GTRs and RX7's in EM and the other nissans? The RX8SP already runs a single yeah? Who was pushing for the change?

In EMO news, already had an email back coming halfway to my offer, but had a long chat with the missus last night and came to my senses. (kind of although you will all doubt it when you read the next sentence. ) Am going to press on with the hiding to nothing path and build my Moffat replica RX7. So thanks fellas, been great being a part of this forum, but will now have to sign up to www.chookcookers.com and the support group www.apexseal-of-fail.org

I have a really neat rolling shell lined up for $1500, an FC with all the parts I need to scrounge for $300, and a mazda MX5 for $1200. 3 cars for 3k. :) Trying to tun them into one decent one, priceless!! lol

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
