Seems to be a pretty good thing, but when he says "everything" has been replaced 2000k ago... That's tens of thousands of dollars, excluding motor and gearbox, as the bloke on here who really has restored one will attest

Yes, true. He says he has all receipts though, so I'll wait to hear from him.

if its what he says then go for it. good price......but it does say always kept under cover, and its outside in the rain for the Photos...

i doubt it has been restored to the extent that the one here on the forums has been (that is just nuts and i cant find the link off the top of my head).

But either way, for 22 grand with that list and those Km's and it runs well with reciepts (if he has em) you cant really go wrong :)

Haha, yeah I thought it was a bit ironic that its sitting out in the rain, I'm assuming he just put it out there to take photos, and it's in QLD so hard to avoid rain lately

basically that's what people say when they car is kept in a garage at night. it doesn't mean that it has never been out in the rain, etc. if you were to take "it's always kept under cover" literally then it must mean that whenever it is driven he has some sort of cover over the top of it, or only drives it in an under ground carpark.....

so it's always kept under cover, except for when it isn't.

f**k that is cheap for being "restored", i'm actually restoring my 32 4 door atm and passed that asking price ages ago just getting door seals. Would be good to see some more pics

The colour of the seats is not to everyone's taste. However, no-one ever goes to that much trouble unless he/she's an enthusiast

However, he/she doesn't say that the restoration was actually done by him/her. The English simply says "...my restored..."

It's worth looking at - and your enquiry might pay off; but I'd check on how long he/she's had it and when you look at the work receipts, ask for permission to check all details.

Seems strange that it would have one when its got N1 turbos aswell. Pretty overkill for that kinda power level

vcam is worth like 25% of what he is asking for the whole car

pull the other one terry ;)

we all know that tacky leather seats are just as common on fully sick bro cars that get THRASHED as they are on enthusiast cars

if you go look at it take a screwdriver with you and check the inside of the sillsbehind the carpet. if it has had the full resto then those should not have any rust in them.

seats do not belong to that car. the label on the side is an airbag label so the are out of somethe later.

I would ask for every receipt available. I can tell you now that if it was done right he will produce a BIG pile of receipts totally at least $20k.

also take a fridge magnet so you can look for bog.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
