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.

    • 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.
