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!

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
