I asked the owner if he would be ok with an inspection/compression test/car on hoist for my own piece of mind, and he said "No worries, you won't find one thing wrong with it, but you're more than welcome to conduct an inspection".

He also told the timing belt was replaced roughly 500km's ago and said he will show me the receipt next time I see the car. He also said he had it on a dyno roughly 12months ago with just the cat-back exhaust. Once again, he said he will provide me with all the documents on the next viewing :)

I reallly really need to sell my car, so I can give him a deposit and get him to hold the car for me!

I don't like you anymore :) LOL

There's nothing wrong with the car, it's a really nice cruiser to to head down south (which i do a fair bit of), and it is a cheap car to run and service etc. The E46 BMW motors and drivelines are good for 300,000km's +.

I just want to get back into a performance car that is still relatively comfortable for a daily commuter :)

Spoke with the seller this evening - am viewing the Midnight Purple GTR this wednesday afternoon around 4pm. I am looking forward to seeing the car, driving it, having a good chat with the seller about purchasing it and if all is good I will be paying a deposit and taking it to my mechanic this saturday (hopefully) to lift it on the hoist and do a full check over every nook & cranny on the car!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
