Up for sale is my Jap imported Eunos Roadster (rebadged as a Mazda by previous owner, who owned the car since new).

I have been using the car as more of a weekend ride, as did previous owner hence the low GENUINE KM's.

Apart from the dark tinted windows, the car is bog stock.

4 x newish tyres (80% tread), clutch is fresh, gearbox is tight, brakes are fine.

I performed a service last week and changed the following:

* Spark plugs (NGK)

* Spark plug leeds (Top Gun)

* Oil change (Castrol GTX2)

* Oil filter

* Fuel filter

* Radiator/coolant flush

Bad points:

* Still has the stock Jap radio

* Drivers side window can sometimes take a few extra seconds to open (go down) - possibly due to an ageing contact

* Air con does work, however it suddenly doesn't want to blow cold air (compressor still works)

* Needs a new air filter - I can supply buyer with a brand new K&N POD filter

* Slight leak in the boot - During all the heavy rain over last couple weeks it has seeped through to one side of the boot, simply needs a seal

* Paint work has some scratches/dints in it, as expected from a car this old

This car IMO is all you could want in a car, looks good, redlines at 7,200rpm, electric windows, speakers in the head rests and has a kerb weight of ~ 900kg

This car has been a bunch of fun to drive and own, but it's time for a change - would suite someone looking for a ultra reliable daily, or someone looking to make a track beast smile.gif

Depending on whats on offer, I may be willing to swap + cash either way

All inspections welcome, and I'm more than happy to answer any questions or enquires relating to the car.

P.S feel free to PM me for more photos.

Cheers,

Michael

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
