No. Look at these:

A) The sheer amount of rust and $$$ needed to fix up the body work.

From what you can see the outside of the quarters have rust on the bottom edge, underneath in the wheel arch, there is bound to be more.

B) The CAS, it has a LOT of build up on it which means it's been near the sea (hence rust)

That means it'll potentially have lots of electrical problems at some stages due to corroded connectors and stuff which might cost you a small fortune to find.

C) Km's doesnt really speak much for the condition. It's very poor for 130thou Km's

I've seen many cars that old come out very clean, so the km's maybe wound back.

aggggg!! not that one.. if that is the rust you CAN see, imagine how much rust underneath you CANT see! That thing will be attrotious rust bucket - not what you really want in a car that can do 250km/hr+. There are basic structural tests the car has to pass even if its 15 years old - that car probably wouldn't make it even onto the road.

And its been repainted, and by the looks of things not properly blasted back or treated before just slapping the paint over the top.

its good for parts, and that is about it.

The blurb says that it is not OK to register as is.

Why is it so?

My wife pointed out the wheels, and they appear to have only 4 studs?????????????

Could be a NA with an RB26 transplant and a nice "R" badge.

All in all. Does not look good but for parts only. It's rubbish.

even if i had the money and time and lets say i was a spray painter etc..it would still be a bitch to cut all the rust out..there is alos rust in the engine bay...a car like that if not started regulary the engine would have alot of rust possibly on internals etc.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
