Hey Guys

thanks for all the volunteers to help. The car is in some sort of warehouse.

I paid for an inspection done by Motacheck yesterday.

The car isnt quite what i'm looking for so I wont go to adelaide this weekend.

Main thing is the suspension is so low it bottoms out over smallish bumps. Rear is unstable when driving... inside tyre wear on front tyres... in my opinion could have been a car setup for drift... could explain the replaced front bumper and rear tyres had much less tread left than fronts. Everything else about the car is good though I am a bit fussy.

Today I'm bidding on a grade 4.5 ARX with 28,000ks on it!

cheers

Apparently it was an over rated 4.5, drivers seat had evidence of a big bubba who squashed and worn the leather.

Got passed in at my max bid, only need to go 60,000 yen more to get it but decided against it... it would have ended up costing way past my budget.

Update on the Sinergy ARX, they gave the rear a wheel alignment and the inspection guy went back to drive it, he said it drove heaps better rear wasnt unstable... Still i'm not keen on the ride height ... its apparantly 15mm lower than standard... bs

Today I'm negotiating a grade 4 ARX with 39000ks on it

If it was 15mm lower than standard then it would still be 25mm higher than a standard RS/RX and certainly would not be scraping

ns salesmen will say anything to sell a car!

even after the inspection when i told him it had aftermarket suspension he still insisted it wasnt! Then i said Ohhh yes it has, the photos of the springs say RSR... then the penny dropped.

I have made a deal with North shore Prestige's arx today and put down 1k deposit!

Ben is a champ!

I believe the 4.5 refers to the exterior + mechanical condition. They have a separate rating for the interior, usually A, B or C (not sure if there's also D, E etc). Mine was actually a C interior due to a couple of cigarette burns in the seats but other than that it is spotless (I had it inspected in japan before placing a bid so it wasn't a gamble).

I actually saw the sinergy one, they have another yard on north east rd which I've been past a few times. That car's been sitting there for a while (over a month).

congrats on the NSP one. enjoy

Had an R33 Gts25t, sold it before i got married... been driving wife's mazda 2 for too long!

Saved us a lot on petrol though, and it's amazing how much u can fit in them but its time to upgrade. I'm sick of not being able to overtake cars on the freeway simply cos i cant accellerate fast enough...

lol... you need to talk to Nickcorr about upgrading from an R33 to an M35 (assuming your R33 was stock).
