I had ask a compliance shop since you changed a engine before fitting a compliance plate your car in un-compliable in QLD may be its different in your state and I would like to offer you $8000 for it as a track car i got another spare engine let me know $$ ready

pm has been sent. like i say to anyone who pms me or replys to the thread! THERES A NUMBER THERE FOR A REASON IF YOUR GENUINELY INTRESTED CALL IT! simple as that cheers.

Very interested at this price. Will you guarantee it can be complied? What import paperwork do you have? Have you checked that the ring landings have not lunched the turbo's on the way out? Who did the import?

Thanks

Forgot to mention, that you mentioned..... " the car still can complied with a diffrent engine theres just a diffrent way of going about it!". Can you explain what this process is? Sorry I can't ring you to discuss, I am actually on a boat in the middle of the ocean and the Sat Phone is a bit pricey.

Thanks :geek:

mate theres too much to explain but the car can be registerd and complied either way if your that intrested you will call and find out about it. no offence but i wont take no one serious untill i get a genuine caller or someone comes to inspect the car coz ive had plenty of people stooge me around as you can see. cheers

Hi Loky,

I buy lots of things sight unseen while on the boat working, my unit, just about everything in it AND my last car, but I am having some reservations about your unwillingness to answer any of my questions on the forum. This usually indicates somethings wrong.....As I can't phone you and my only avenue to ask you questions is on this forum, I will give you another go at answering my questions if your really want to sell the car and have nothing to hide.

Thanks again

Hi there - obviously you imported this under SEVS, in which case a specific RAWS has applied for the compliance plates on your behalf.

Can you advise who this is, so that interested customers can confirm with this compliance workshop that they WILL guarantee that the car can be complied? For instance, what chance the buyer will spend $5K on an engine rebuild (in and out for an RB26DETT is usually $1K by itself - unless you can also quote the workshop who'll do it for $2K).

No offense mate - but if it is likely to cost $2K to comply and $2K to fix the engine and you reckon it's worth $20K, then costs aside you'd net $16K ($20-2-2). However, as you'll probably only get about $9K as it is (I'd be budgeting $3K with RISK for the compliance, and $5K for the engine....nobody cares about it being R33 Series 3), plus $1K for on roads - meaning $9K in costs, and seriously - even then you'd only sell it for $17K anyway in this market. So if you can get $9K from some one, take it, because it will cost you $9K extra anyway.

I will make a genuine cash offer of $7000 conditional upon certain details, such as name of compliance agent, whether he'll honour your $500 deposit (as this is a contract he has with you, and not the buyer) - I'm not even sure you can dispose of the car without compliance - check an import approval, I think it says this. If I can't get compliance (hence it's only a track car), my offer is for $4K only.

I'll also offer you a swap for an FC3 RX7 turbo coupe if you're interested.

Cheers,

Jessie

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • 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.
