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

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
