The 33 I liked is in fact a 1996 (Compliance plate said '98, green plate pre-SEVS btw), should I steer away from it or not even though it isn't under finance or stolen or write-off register?

imo, if you like the car just get it every car will have small problems from the 90s mine needed new suspension and tyres as well as needing to repair the front lip but still loved the car when i saw it so i got it! :thumbsup:

tl;dr Shit can be fixed :D

Nah, that isn't what I meant, I were saying the car was complied as '98 model when the actual chassis is in fact a '96 model, not sure if I can live with it.

buy mine man.... 30k

Since you don't have the Professors on, no thanks.

Haven't had the chance to look at grey 33 in woop woop, may do that this weekend.

harden the fuck up princess. Was probably a typo in the CPA registry that sent out plates.

If the car has been registered, and has a history in one of the national registration systems, no one gives a shit about the plates. The only thing that's used for is the initial rego.

Grant come to shep on Saturday and tell the guy to meet you at DECA rolleyes.gif

Shep is closer for him.

Just got a message from the seller, he doesn't seem that keen but told him I'll be there...

Shan, is it pretty common with pre-SEVS cars?

Just want to be sure before I go stupid and buy it.

It's not common, but it's not surprising. a car I bought didn't even have a plate. which was fun, ran around for a month trying to get it from canberra and it turned out I didn't even need it to reg the car.

just make sure the VIN on the plate of the car matches the VIN on the manufacturer plate, and then run that VIN through FAST to make sure the specs of the car match up.

eg: 6U9000ECR33123456 = ECR33-123456 = RB25 R33 GTS25t

Thanks for that but, is error on import approval or mistake by Canberra put it on wrong year pretty common during pre-SEVS days?

The VIN on said 33 isn't 6U900xxxx it's 6T91 thingy hence my curiousity, what sparked it when I ran it thru Vicroads check and FAST (VR listed it as '98 whereas on FAST, it's 96).

6U900xxxx is new SEVS system, under CPA it was some weird shit.

Errors happen, check that the VIN numbers match up properly. No one gives a fuck about the year.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
