I don't want to go to a meet where we end up standing around in a car park. I'd rather go somewhere for dinner or coffee whatever so you can sit down and talk shit rather than standing in a car park looking like a bunch of tools. My 2c.

Sent him a message to find out about postage. Another guy is keen on them so there goes my idea of lowballing him a bit more. Still decent price for those turbos.

Good stuff mang.

I'll come to the Jacks meets. Just as long as it's not sponsored by Team Monster Energy drinks and FlatCappers Inc.

Yeah thats why I feel its hard to really control lol. last time I threatened if I was there their number plates would be given to coppers so they never misbehaved lol.

Yeah I can understand that but its hard to do on a over 20 kinda thing.

Has anyone heard about those "We buy any car" places? I'd be interested to know what they model the valuation on. I'm not planning on using them or anything, just saw a sign on the train home.

I'm guessing they would just base it off redbook like most other dealers.

In other news. Looks like I'll be getting some new turbros n stuff for the car :thumbsup: Manager came and saw me yesterday to talk about pushing me through to a full Site Engineer position in the new year so the hard work is paying off. :cheers: Looking at getting some cheap -7s off here if the guy likes my offer + 34 GTR Dumps and a Nistune.

finally some power upgrades, but i'd be saving for an engine rebuild though.

This morning i met a man on a white motorbike who wanted a chat :(

Has anyone heard about those "We buy any car" places?

So yeah i have, when selling the S15 on carsales...

If the time since the ad was created is more than 14 days and its still not sold they call you...

I was not interested in using their service at all, as you know everyone needs to make a buck so i feared their offer... I was right...

So redbook on the car said;

*$10,400 to $12,600 trade

*$12,000 to $14,000 private

*80,000 to 140,000km ODO

They offered $6k cash and they will organise a tow truck to pick it up.

I said "its registered and road worthy, its not damaged its as original as the day it was made"

They said "no $6k is our offer for the car in good order as described, the tow truck is simply so we can transport it"

I sold it for $17,500 a week later... That was back in March this year...

It was a Aussie delivered GT model, so i had to wait for the right buyer who was not distracted by import versions...

In short the "we buy your car now" people only live for the really despirate people, i mean really despirate...

Id be pretty sure they wont buy imports, or if they did its be seated before they gave a price...

"I have this R34 NUR, what will you give me"... "Arhh lets see, $6k"... lol

finally some power upgrades, but i'd be saving for an engine rebuild though.

Meh it has lasted 3 years with no problems. If I get the turbos and get another year out of it before needing a rebuild I will be happy.

-7s, 34 Dumps, New fuel pump and 15psi. 250kw? I'll be happy.

Wondered what a despirate was.

Used to describe a person who is so pathetically infatuated with a person or sexually desperate that they become so desperate, they actually plunder the meaning of the word desperate.

high flow cats too, you still got the compliance ones there?

Yeah 3 inch cat and either install the $100 front pipes I bought ages ago or try and get some pretty equal length ones.

So yeah i have, when selling the S15 on carsales...

Yeah, I didn't think they'd really be offering top dollar or anything.

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
