A/C running is an easy fix. If your serious i could get carl to organise dropping it off to me so i could do a pre-roadworthy check and have a look at the A/C system. I have the machine at work to do air con. Gearbox is an easy job. same as dropping a manual into a 31. But if you buy your car back it'll take that neo from your old girl no problems. And your 4 pot front/2 pot rears will just bolt straight on as an upgrade

The one for sale looks way better than that:

I see a hackable screen. looks like we can carry over more than the mechanicals.

I still have to wait to hear from the assessors first and foremost :P Don't even know if they will pay me out or repair her yet.

The Leopard would require some serious thought. If they pay me out the $18k I'll be more interested in buying a cheap to run, auto daily driver and start building a serious track car (and you know, learning how to drive properly :P .) I'm not sure if the Leopard really fits either bill correctly. I would hate to butcher such a beautiful car to gut and cage it etc for track work and I'm not sure if that really falls into the category of a cheap daily driver.

It is a beautiful car however... And I also have this 33 Noel suggested to look at... And a 34 Chris has suggested as well...

buy the leopard as the daily, it's a comfortable car to drive around, then buy that 33 noel is talking about, seems to have the power already just get to fill in the little bits needed, if they pay you out 18k then you should have enough to cover the purchase of both cars and some money left to mod them

Oh RWC is no issue

installing kyosan denso fuel pump is a pain in the rear, especially the fuel tank opening barely just big enough to fit the pump and bracket through. :3some:

so much easier in the r32 back in the days :whistling:

Yeah buy my Leopard, you know you want to. If I can't get $4500 for it I will be parting it out. That $4000 grand price was for this weekend only as there was a car on Ebay I wanted but it has gone now so it's back to the $5000 listed price.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
