Hey peeps, my sis no longer uses this and needs it gone. Currently its out of reg and hasnt been driven in a couple of months. I suspect it will need a new battery to get going but im not 100% sure.

91 Silo

White over grey 2-tone

auto

23*,000 kms

$1500 ono

Stock apart from Pioneer HU and speakers in the rear shelf (spacers used so no holes in shelf)

Car is located in Flemington, Melbourne

My sister bought this car off one of my mates a couple of years ago with 213,000kms on it. He inherited it from his Grandpa (the original owner) when he died with 160,000kms on the clock. I've known this car since 2000 and have personally serviced it many times over the years.

When my sister got it had the following done:

New windshield

New battery

New front pads and discs

New rear pads, discs and rebuilt calipers

New handbrake cables

brake fluid flush

New wheel bearings front

New monroe gas inserts front

New lower ball joints L & R front

New centre tailshaft bearing

4 * tyres (i think they're Nexen but can double check)

4 wheel alignment done by myself. I was very particular smile.png

set of plugs

coolant flush/change

oil and filter

fuel filter

trans filter/fluid

subi spray/upper cylinder clean

More recently i replaced the steering rack bushes and steering column bush with superpro items and had another wheel alignment. I also did a service, fuel filter, coolant and plugs.

alternator was replaced about 18 months ago with a reco item

Water pump and timing belt were done at 200,000kms by another mechanic. Should be in the receipts pile somewhere, along with a few other services i didnt do.

The body is reasonably straight but has a few bumps around the place and a split front valance (the bit under the headlights between the bumper bar) but will come with another one to prep/spray.

It is dirty inside and out. Seats need a steam clean and it needs a good wash, cut and polish. Try getting a chick to clean a car - I dare ya!

Bad points:

-ISCV is doing its usual thing. I have cleaned a few out and swapped them over but it needs to be done again. I can supply a spare if need be.

-Elec auto is doing its usual thump into second. Common for these and is usually the solenoid that requires replacing. I have been quoted $40 dollars for one from a supplier.

-Diff has a little bit of backlash but is also common for these things. LSD still works too!

-Alternator is on its way out again. I have rebuilt these before and can get slip rings and bearings for under $90. Takes 1 hour with a press and soldering iron to rebuild and will be 100% better than a reco item - guarantee it.

-AC needs new seals and regas

-Needs a clean

Its a reliable car thats never been thrashed and with a few hours of TLC and a couple of small things maintenance items will go for another 150,000kms.

Call me, Stu on 0415 298 248 for more tech details or Nicola on 0421224565 to arrange a viewing.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
