These probably won't get a great reception here, but I have them up everywhere else so they may as well go up here.

I am kinda tired of falcons and I want a change. Interested in a skyline or a supra or some other form of RWD import. N/A of course, because I'm on my P's. Unless you have a nice example turbo'd that could possibly go undetected. If you don't have anything to swap then I will sell. The EA and the Ute have to go before the AU is sold, as it's my daily commuter at the moment.

This is my EA. Tried to sell it a few times before when it was having troubles after a BBM conversion...

Anyway it's all sorted now and runs. RWC was given with an EB manifold, no longer current but can be arranged again for the car in its current state...

The car has 112,000 KM from memory and the engine has 130,000.

Clean inside, roof lining is bad, was sagging but repaired (not greatly) but the rest of the interior is great for an EA. It's a fairmont if that means anything to ya.

$3500

Comes with a near new gas tank. Needs to be hooked up, was hooked up but that was when car was CFI so it needs to be redone.

The car is running an EL ECU, BBM and Airbox. I haven't driven it but even with the EB manifold it had a fair bit of poke, I'm guessing it will go harder now.

Make an offer guys.

2000 AU Futura, SR interior. Just over 200,xxx km. Extremely nice car to drive, no performance mods. Always ran on premium and oils changed. Has had slight ding in rear end that I attempted to repair. (see pics)

Welcome to the Import scene! You will definately not regret the change, will make you realise how badly that AU really drives.... Best of luck with the sale, How long til you are off your P's? maybe put up with the AU for a little longer and go straight into a Turbo?

Thanks for the well wishes, I hope it's a painless change lol. Skylines are excellent, just like a sexy road going go kart haha (the hicas scares me though, will definitely be budgeting a lock out bar so I can have it done ASAP after I buy one). I don't have a family of my own so I don't need a bus lol. I'm on my P's for another year and a half or so, but QLD has introduced a new law stating that P platers can advance to their open licence if they complete a defensive driving course. I'm selling a nitro racing car, so hopefully I'll have enough cash to do the course, then I'll be able to go straight to turbo!

Good luck with the sale mate.

But in regards to this "new law", where did you see this for QLD?

They are only just talking about it for VIC, so introducing it in QLD would be far.

If you've got details, i'd be very interested to know what the changes are going to be, I did a google and checked QT, no comment on it as they do when they introduce changes:

e.g: http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/Home/Licen..._in_queensland/

Cheers mate! I read it in the Sunday Mail (I have a topic about it, if you search my posts you'll find it). I rang QLD transport today for confirmation and was told that it looked like it was going to go ahead but hasn't been given the OK just yet. There will obviously be a huge press release, due to the fact it will be a pretty controversial plan. The sooner the better I say, haha. The info on the net is limited, so I'm really hoping the Sunday Mail and the QT person I spoke to this morning wasn't blowing smoke up my ass.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
