This car is a PIG!

This car was purchased by a member of this forum and asked if I would go and pick it up for him, which I arranged for 6:30pm tonight.

The address was given as Corner of Ben Boyd Rd & Aubin St Neutral Bay and the seller doesn't live there at all. He surfaced from a house about 4 doors further down the road and I found him sitting in the car trying to start it.

If anyone would like to inspect this car and give me their opinion, it is parked in Aubin St just near the intersection of Ben Boyd Rd.

With the exception of the damaged bumper on o/s/f none of the rest is conclusive enough in the ebay provided pictures, particularly as they were taken in broken shade of a tree.

In addition, it has an oil leak, it would not start, n/s door mirror broken & both rear window switches are missing. Bit of a contradiction to "car runs smooth & no problems at all".

When quizzed about the missing door switches, his answer was "they work".

Cheers, D

new world record!!

No No. I paid $19,000 for my first RmR30 new of course. Ti Auto with a bag full of extras.

$360 for a poverty pack RMR30, manual, for spares.

$300 for Goldie. Much worn R30 Ti manual.

$1,200 for Greenie, an R30 Ti manual.

So I think Greenie holds the record for "new" R30 Ti.

I scored my 84 TI with 146k for $400

Another 83 Ti manual with 300k for $300

then a pov spec 82 used as a drift car for last 3 years for $50

about to convince the mrs about another Ti

still hangin out for a 2 door, banged my head farkin hard on the seatbelt mount on a speed hump today grrr...

(190cm is too tall for a hatch)

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
