Any of those will be a terrific asset to your garage if

i) there's absolutely no prevalent rust

ii) no damage has occurred unless properly repaired

iii) engine is in top nick

iv) there's service history

v) running gear and suspn have minimal wear or replacements are up to spec

vi) low kms that correspond to carpet wear/ bolster wear/steering wheel wear

vii) brakes are good cond (and if possible upgraded in the R32)

viii) little or no track work

ix) the former owner/s is/are as old as I am. hehe

Check that there's no hesitation as you accelerate

Check that there's no vibration at constant speed runs for 10 sec at a time (wrt tail shaft)

Check amount of smoke and what type is coming out of the exhaust as someone follows you on a run.

Do tight circles clockwise and anticlockwise (wrt CVs)

If you're not mechanically minded, take someone who is with you on any inspection. He'll have his check-list whilst you have yours.

Enough for now?

    • Had a chat to Tony Mamo - he advised that looking at the graph's shape (regardless of number translation) it shouldn't be levelling off like that up top. He said it looks like the car is running a restrictor plate or something of that nature. Luckily the last dyno pull on E85 was saved to the PC - So I did a quick trace of Barometric KPA vs Intake manifold pressure, and lo and behold I see a copy of the 'waves' I was seeing on the dyno: I'm not entirely sure how to go about addressing this. It may be worth sacrificing IAT to run a more direct intake for the motor. Though packaging this could be flat out impossible given the constraints of the car. I should have removed the intake pipe to see if this made a difference but looking at this graph I now have something to potentially test in the future and think about. This one is from an old track day log in the OLD setup going through gears on track.
    • Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.
    • Followed ☺️ Assuming those are NEO rods, then at least 400kW all day.
    • Lets keep this going , Spotted this very stock V35 in Penrith and also saw a nice R32 FLY past me on Castlereagh rd , sounded really good.
    • Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.
