and why not registered?

I dotn wanna see someone buys it then have to wreck it cuz its not registerble under new SEV LAW :(

Yeah, what he said. If it don't have a compliance plate it will cost you about 5 grand to get it complianced before it can be registered. And that is IF it can be done.

Check this angle out before parting with any cash. It could cost you a lot more in the long run.

cecam .......i thort that they were 4 speed auto's with the 4th locking the convertor.........no auto i know of is actually overdrive...they just use a slightly lower ratio in the diff to give that impression.......but if i am wrong then i am wrong.......good to learn summin new every now and then

oh yeah...not registered...its being sold as is...but ive not looked under the bonnet yet....to see if it is complianced.....im not worried bout rego, just compliance

Even if it is complied then it will cost you a thousand to put it on road (registration plates etc)

Be very suspicous of the guy selling it as it is considerably cheaper than current market value.

Try and get him to complete an RSCV report or equivelent. It's still alot of money and if it isn't complied then forget about it

v8skylinemanmelb ,

only consider it if it has a compliance plate look elsewhere if it doesnt . if its its in good nick the price sounds good but i would prefer to pay a little more and get a turbo but thats personal opinion .

by the way these days just about all autos are overdrive ( top gear that is) , just like all manuals are as well .

Yep, your wrong, 4th is an overdrive, they achive this by driving the pinion carrier.

locking the converter gets rid of the 10% slip that occurs in a TC, so it may seem like another gear.

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
