122xxxkm... it's a turbo convert - so originally was a non turbo. suck2bu!

oh but it is my dear :miner:

thanks man...

ummm i don't know??? i'm not from NSW so i don't know how "transferral of ownership" goes down over there... i'm only going on assumption though... and i'm not about to pressure you into buying it then going to all this struggle to freight it to you (within your budget of course) only to have your spirits hopes n dreams crushed by the gubberment, you know?

i mean, i'd love for you to have the car no doubt... and i'd work out something price wise to cater for freight cos i know what it's like when you're a new driver, you want something wicked...

if you can sort out rego somehow or call your gaverning body... i think it's RTA or something... sort it out with them n give it some thought!

EDIT - wait it's turbo... can't have it haha... i had all the nonturbo parts to convert but i have probably chucked them in the bin hey sorry mate!

If your registering a car in NSW from interstate it has to be deregistered and blueslipped, same process as if it had been out of rego for 3 months or more. Not fun :P

$7K is too much for an auto NA Silvia too. I'd steer clear of an auto Silvia no matter how cheap it is, the manuals are a much nicer car, and thats coming from someone who wishes they had a manual somedays from driving a triple plate in Newi! Another vote for something like a SSS, not bad cars. My mate had an N14 SSS as a first car, went alright but they have a very cheap and nasty interior. My NA Celica was quicker tho :) I'd pocket the left over cash until you can get something turboed, the NA Silvia's/Supras/Skylines etc aren't all that fantastic especially considering the massive price premium on them with the current p plater laws.

      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?
