Swap for my car plus cash your way? Check the link on my signature for more info.

Also, does this car have the pop-up sat nav factory option and dual zone climate control? And how many ks has the motor done? Anything remotely wrong with it that I should know about--any leaks, rattles etc.?

Pretty interested...

It does have the factory sat nav and dual zone climate control. The only thing is, I haven't converted

it to english. It's done 48000 kms. The only thing wrong with it is the front bumper. No leaks or rattles.

I get it serviced at Lister Automotive in Belmont. If you are interested in having a look at each others cars,

maybe we can catch up during the week or next weekend. I had a look at the photo's of your car. It looks

pretty tidy. Talk to you soon.

Ah ok, well we can have more of a chat once we see each others cars.

The body on my car is completely straight and hasn't been in any accidents in the 5 years that I've owned it. Front bar has a small lower lip crack though and body needs little touching up in a few areas. Other than that, the car is mechanically fine and runs well in the current state of tune (297rwkw@5800rpm/17.5psi). Engine has travelled around 8000kms since I've had it rebuilt so it's well and truly worn in and ready for the final tune with the new ECU. Minor oil changes and maintenance is done by me and major servicing, tuning and everything else is always performed at A.R.T. in West Heidelberg.

I would be willing to bring the car for you to have a look/test drive but the gearbox is currently in the process of being replaced due to the input shaft bearing getting noisy and 5th gear crunching more frequently. I've ordered a new gearbox from Japan over 2 months ago and the container has finally arrived in Melb last week. We still can't empty it until the middle of next week unfortunately so I won't be able to organise anything with you until possibly the week after once the new box has been installed. Price will still stay the same ($17,500) once this is done.

However, the new ECU (Power FC) and new boost controller (AVC-R) which has not been installed and tuned isn't factored into the price as of yet. I'll sell the car as is at the current price which is negotiable without these 2 items and without the Work rims. Or the price will be slightly revised if they are to be fully installed and tuned (Power FC=$1200, AVC-R=$700 is what I paid for these two parts and also tuning is roughly another $1000).

Let me know what your thoughts are and the cash adjustment amount you are wanting. I'll get back to you once the gearbox is done. Will be in touch very soon.

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to see if there was any interest. Thinking of getting a new bumper and keeping the car because there

doesn't seem to be anyone interested. Let me know.

Cheers

Not for sale anymore due to lack of interest and too many wankers. I'm better off keeping it than getting f**ked around.

:)

was in the same boat when i was selling my V35 end of last year; everyone for some reason things that V35 can be brought for free !!!!

understand that there is too many if them for sale considering the target market for imports

Look for a bumper in Import monster and get a red one, if you have the patience you will find one eventually, so you can fit it your self

Ignore above post about it not being for sale anymore. Momentary brain fade. It's definitely still up for sale. The things

you say when you take too much panadol and mix it with beer lol.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
