Hi Everyone,

Up for sale in my 1991 Ford Raider 5 Speed Manual. I bought this car with the intention to use it to tow the skyline on a trailer to the track whenever I wanted to but since the my situation has changed where im getting a company car and I cant stand to see her just sitting there.

History of the car: I bought the car in Oct 2008 and my old man was using it during the week to commute to and from work.

KMS: 343,683

Serviced by Edge Motor works in cambellfield every 10,000kms or 6 months.

Tyres: Dunlop Grandtrek AT3 on the fronts and BF Goodridge AT on the rear both 235/75/15 and plenty of thread on them

I have just done a fair amount of work to the car since I was starting to use the car a lot more for interstate trips after I sold the skyline so Roadworthy wise there is nothing to do. I have had it taken to a roadworth place and got them to tell me anything that needed to be done to make sure it was roadworthy and also for my piece of mind.

I have had to change the following recently:

Upper and lower ball joints

Inner and outer tie rod ends

Shakle arms and bushes

brand new RDA front rotors with pads and rear drums with shoes

new delco 700 CCA Battery

Sway bar bushes

control arm body bushes

New Standard cat back exhaust

New front drive shafts

front and rear diff oils and gear box and engine oil

New front and rear shocks

The above work alone costed me about $3800 including labour and I have receipts to show. All the work was also carried out at Edge motorworks campbellfield who has looked after the car since we first bought it along with my skyline.

The paint on the car is fading in some place but considering its age its expected and the rear tail gate has a dint in it.

It has a Sunroof, electronic tilt and slide,

Hella Spotties

Haymen Reese town bar

Interior is good condition no rips or tears on the seats

Engine is in good nic does not blow any smoke,

Gearbox is a little rough as expected with a 4wd.

2nd and 3rd gear have a bit of a gearbox noise which has been there since the time i bought the car and the previous owner also mentioned that it was there when he bought it, i have had the mechanice look into it and he mentioned something about oils not being changed in it causes the noise.

It is a 7 seater with the rear seats folded down, it has 2 storage compartments for tools in the rear as you can see from the pics. Its got diff locks on the front wheels and is in 2wd mode up and until you change the little lever to 4wd high or low. It also comes with original user manual and workshop manual.

Price $4000 with 12month rego which i just paid and without Roadworth since im in and out of melbourne on work all the time but can definately assist with getting one.

No ball breakers, dreamers or test pilots, dont mean to be rude but rather be up front about it. Any critisism send me a PM on dont wreck the post

Its been a great and reliable car which has seen me and my folks through a lot. Ive also added pics of when the work when it was getting done.

Im located in Roxburgh Park, Melbourne

    • 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.  
    • 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.
