Hi all,

Unfortunately, its come time to put my 2001 EVO 7 up for sale

This car has been my daily driver for over a year now, and has been one of the most reliable and enjoyable cars I have ever had the pleasure of owning. The car was sourced to order for me in Japan, then subsequently imported by Just Jap Auto Imports in Sydney, who have also been responsible for all preventative maintenance, modification and scheduled servicing since it arrived. The car was purchased as an auction grade 4B with 64,000 km's and in the time that I have owned it, the car has covered a mere 6,000 km's as I don't require a car during the week thanks to public transport :)

With the exception of the bodykit and suspension, all other modifications and components have been purchased and installed brand new within the space of the last 12 months. The car has been religiously serviced, and had a huge amount of preventative maintenance performed at my request to ensure absolute reliability, including a full 100k service with new Timing Belt, Cam Seals & Iridium Spark Plugs.

Modifications have been limited to only the best quality in bolt-on upgrades, to retain un-compromised drivability for daily use. No boost controller has ever been used, maintaining standard boost levels at all times, and both the turbocharger and ECU are standard, yet the car is still extremely fast, incredibly responsive, and handles like its on rails!

The Alpine & AVI Stereo was supplied and professionally installed by Metrosound on the North Shore in Sydney.

The car has seen one driver training day at Oran Park only, and has never been drag raced. It has no accident history, an arrow straight body, and has always been securely garaged.

Vehicle Specifications:

- 2001 Build

- 70,000 Km's

- NSW Rego Till December 2010

- Auction Grade 4B

- Factory Silver

Modifications:

- Genuine C-West Bodykit

- Genuine Karbonetic Carbon Fibre Trunk

- HID Kit

- HKS Super Suction Intake Kit

- HKS Air Filter

- HPI Intercooler Kit

- HPI Stainless Turbine Outlet Pipe

- HPI Stainless Front Pipe

- Catco Metal Cat (3")

- Kakimoto Regu 06&R Stainless Cat Back Exhaust

- Cooling-Pro Larger Alloy Radiator

- HPI Braided Brake Lines

- DBA 4000 Series Slotted & Vented Rotors (Front & Rear)

- Project Mu Heavy Duty Brake Pads (Front & Rear)

- Motul RBF 600 Brake Fluid

- Tein Circuit Master Type Flex Coilovers

- Rays RE30 Limited Edition Forged Racing Wheels (18 x 8.5")

- Yokohama Advan A13 Rubber (245/40/18)

- Blitz Turbo Timer

- Alpine Digital Media Head Unit (Including iPhone/iPod/USB Connection)

- AVI Front Splits

- AVI Rear Speakers

- Factory EVO Mats (Front & Rear)

- Tinted Windows

A quick glance at the above list quickly shows that I have added over $13,000 worth of modifications and components to the car since purchase, and that does not include servicing!

Now to my reason for sale? Pretty simple really.

I have recently purchased another GTR and unfortunately this means I must retire the EVO and replace it with a more corporate friendly car for work purposes. You will be truely hard pressed to find a more practical or complete performance package.

The car is owned outright, with no finance or money owing of any kind.

Always the way isn't it :/

Sadly I really need this gone now, I have too many cars and not enough room, and the evo needs to be retired for a more appropriate car for work.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
