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.

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
