As per my other thread regarding registration requirements in Vic, I'm after a track/drift car for up to 4k, maybe stretch that for the right car.

Car will need to be registered or not far off passing road worthy if it's not registered.

All the usual track/drift requirements apply, RWD, manual, turbo, body is less important than the mechanical side of things. Something that already has suspension and a few go fast bits would also be great. Willing to discuss removing things for the right price, stereo gear for one as I don't need it or fancy pants rims as they will only get munched when I put it in the kitty littler.

I've been scouring various forums, ebay etc and am having plenty of luck finding them but seem to keep missing out due to being to late to the party or finding cars that are too far away etc.

Show me what you've got guys

Yeah ebay man, theres so many silvias and 180s going at the moment, and sometimes its really worth the travel, because by the sounds, the car you want doesnt come around that often for that price.

Start with a R31? Very cheap drifter. I see heaps of people sliding those at Winton.

Yeah the 31's are looking like good value, plenty with RB20 conversion etc.

See how we go.

This is more of a if you have something let me know thread but I'll update this once I've bought something.

Cheers

Whats wrong with the blue 180 on ebay from Sydney? its at 2.5k with half a day to go. Even for 4k that would be a steal! SR and Manual! Buy it and go for a drive to Sydney!

Sorry for whoring up your 'let me know what you have' thread.

Sorry I dont have anything LOL.

Yeah been watching that one :D I asked him a few questions and got no response. The welded diff was a bit iffy too as I wanna be able to drive it on the street also.

EDIT: biggest one is buying a car sight unseen. As in with eBay you bid and you are obligated to buy and I have a good feedback rating so don't want to risk a dispute with a seller when I go to check the car out AFTER bidding and decide it's a POS.

I'd sooner fit an RB30et than down grade to the torque/response of the rb20det.

This is going to stir up alot of shit from those who worship the rb20's.........................

*suits up for the possible flaming* :D

EH...you gotta draw the line somewhere between streetability and practicality and the price you wanna pay.

I just bought a Sil80 for next to nothing, its a HEAP OF SHIT, but its a budget car and its gonna do the job. Its not going to be rego'd either. Just hire or borrow a trailer.

Cheap cars can be had so so easily if youre not fussed about rego, it literally pumps the price by heaps if its near rego of has reg..

If the car isnt what was described, or some problems or details have been left out, youre not obligated. But for that amount of money what do you expect!

I got an R32, red, striped (no heater, aircon, complete hicas removal, sound deadner etc) just replaced the cradle mount bush's, power sterring cooler, 32 gtr rims with new tyers, batt box (not hooked up yet) paint not in the best condidtion however im looking for more that what you are saying you are willing to pay at the moment.

Here is the old thread before i moved for a pic

Femmo: Good point on the eBay stuff mate

Boss: Out of my price range as you can see :D

I'm heading to melb for the weekend guys so wont be responding as quick.

Mate just buzzed me a very promising R31, see what happens :D

I have a 1992 model white R32 that i www going to use as a drift poject i might not use.

its got 3" exhaust, front coilovers and good turbo engine. and a tuned ECU. it is however auto. i was going to get an r31 gearbox and do a manual conversion for $300 but i am starting to loose interest. if you are interested you can have it for 3k.

its also complied and was reg'd in victoria and does not have any defects.

its missing some intiroir bits and needs the headlights wired up.

pm me if u are interested.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
