I wouldnt mind a 260RS! but I gotta get an auto cos wife needs to be able to drive it...

just do what i did, sell the wifes auto car and buy her a manual stagea, she had no choice but to learn then! :D

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

Wil

4.5 is great. Good luck with your search :rant:

Be sure to let us know when you get one...you wont look back!! :ermm:

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 :merli:

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

:P

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 :(

Congrats man.

What are you upgrading from?

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).

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
