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)

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
