I just found this whilst strolling through Yahoo Japan.

It's an 280D (Diesel) GT C211 Sedan and you can have it complied in Australia for about AU$13500.00 + rego

Wouldn't it be nice!

Cheers, D

Better tell that to my 1971 Patrol I have in my shed then... Or the whole swag of early model rotaries or the 1967 Alfa 1300 GT Junior that I've previously owned :P

I agree with you that it's rare, but old non-turbo diesels are woeful to drive - it's like wearing your jocks over your pants, it's different but not necessarily better ;)

Least we agree on some of it. I wasn't suggesting driving it would be fun, just interesting to own for nostalgic reasons.

You had an 1300 Juniour eh! I used to have 57 Giulietta Spider and my all time fav alfa is a 105 GTV. I think they would have won Bathurst if they had have kept their wheels on.

Your Patrol belongs in a museum lol

Cheers, D

holy crap, i never seen one of those still on the road!

Me too...luckily

Interesting thought though to start a collection of "classics" that no one wanted

Would be a jewel in the crown of a collection of classic Morris Marinas , Austin Tasmans and 200B's

My Junior was a 105, was awesome for getting girls - ironically the first time my girlfriend (now wife) drove it, the brakes failed! Maybe it knew something I didn't...

The Patrol is a genuine 58000miles with books! It had been sitting in a shed for the last 15 years, and the owner bought a new car and needed the garage space, and decided to sell it rather than let it go to waste out in the elements near the sea. Mechanically, it needed a radiator recore and the front seats retrimmed, and she's right to go. Blows no smoke at all - once we charged the battery it fired first go too. The plan is to restore it for the Bay to Birdwood Classic next year.

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
