Photos now up..... Looks stunning. I saw it at the GT-R Festival this year.

I've heard they are negotiable for a quick sale.....

By the looks of it the car sat in the sun for quite some time judging by the faded side indicators and faded triple gauge needles on the centre console...lovely car though :)

Correct, last service was 20 years ago when it had 48,000 kms.

Just needs a good front to back overhaul.

According to someone on Facebook the cars had a respray and thats why he didn't pay 70-75k 2-3 months ago for it. Don't remember it being listed anywhere?

also typical facebook analysts stating that the numbers don't line up perfectly on the gauge

Yes this car has had paint, apart from the boot which is original paint.  Still a nice car.

20 yrs ago wow...has the engine been started in that period? If not, the engine will more than likely require a rebuild. Rings will be dry, valve stem seals dry and deteriorated etc.

This would throw me off as a buyer 100%

If the car has full service history the kms wouldn't be an issue. However, the car hasn't been serviced for 20yrs so it's hard to track or document.

The only way is to look at the car in the flesh...it is nice :)

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
