• Brand new battery (May 2009)

** car made 107rwkw on the dyno **

SUSPENSION AND BRAKES

• King Spring super low springs

• Unknown shocks, but they were brand new as of November 2007 (done by previous owner)

• Dual rear sway bars

• All 4 discs machined and pads replaced with Bendix Ultimate pads (January 2009)

DRIVELINE

• RB30E gearbox (rebuilt/strengthened sometime in 2007 by previous owner)

• Clutch was brand new as of November 2007 (again, done by previous owner). Was checked when the RB25 conversion was done by myself and the clutch still had a LOT of meat left on it so it was left on the car

• Open centre diff. Had a Silo LSD that shat itself so it was locked, but the locker was just plain shit for daily driving so was replaced with an open diff. Couldn't find an LSD diff at the time. Would be very easy to just throw an LSD centre into the diff.

WHEELS AND TYRES

• Nismo LM-GT2 17" 3 piece rims, 17x7.5" (f) and 17x8" ®

• The tyres on the car at the moment are pretty well shagged, so the car will be fitted with 4 BRAND NEW tyres before the sale goes through. I have 4 tyres ready to be put on.

Roadworthy Certificate: Not applicable in NSW

Registered: Yes, November 2009

Accident History: Very minor bingle on the front of the car when the previous owner had it, all it did was crack the grille and dent the bonnet which is what prompted him to do the S3 conversion. When the car was in my possession, somebody tapped the back of the car when I was waiting to go through a roundabout. Very minor tap but it dented the bumper slightly. Bumper replaced and rear end resprayed under insurance.

Asking Price: $6,500

Location: Carlingford, Sydney NSW

Contact Details: Rob on 0423 696 517

Other Comments: I bought the car in January 2008 for $5000. I have since then done a heap of work to it including the RB25DE engine conversion and the car owes me easily over 10 grand. The engine conversion wiring was all done professionally by MRC Performance in Sydney. The only things wrong with car is that sometimes the central locking (aftermarket) works and sometimes it doesn't. The doors can still be unlocked/locked properly though, it's probably just a loose earth somewhere, I haven't really bothered to look. Also, the indicators do not turn themselves off once you turn the steering wheel because of the boss kit. The boss kit is a track/racing kit so it does not have an indicator return on it, but it took me all of 2 days to get used to flicking it off manually - it's now just a habit. The only other thing that I can think of is that the right taillight has got a crack in it because some dick threw a coke can at my car as he drove past - luckily it only hit the taillight and not any panels!!

Enough talking.. some pics:

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
