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)

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
