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 RWC was given with an EB manifold, no longer current but can be arranged again for the car in its current state...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:

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.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
