This was my daily car untill I bought the 32, it's been sitting in my front yard for a couple of months now so I really need to get rid of it, gets driven every few days just to keep it going. I have had the car for about 18months all up. There are a few little issues with the car that I haven't had the time to look into that I have noted below but overall it's a nice, clean, simple and very reliable little car. Generally I get about 10L/100km.

Things i've replaced:

- Brand new EFI computer about 12months ago (I had issues with cold starting which turned out to be computer related, all of the engine sensors were replaced as well at this time)

- New clutch 10 months ago

- New drive shaft boots

- New radiator

The Issues:

- Odometer doesn't work, hasn't since i've had the car, think it's sitting on about 141000ish current engine has done about 200000.....

- Fuel gauge is a bit dodge, doesn't always indicate, have to give the dash a bit of a thump :)

Mechanically the car is in good condition and drives well, the engine seeps a bit of oil over time but doesn't drip. The car comes with no rego or roadworthy, I shouldn't take much to get it registered, the only thing I can see is the little boots on the lower A frames where the wheel hub bolts on are cracked....

Looking for around the $700 mark.....or swappsies for something for one of my skylines ;)

Will get some pics up soon

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
