If I bought a car off someone and the gearbox fell out after 1000km, I wouldn't be happy at all lol and possibly hurling gearboxes through windows etc. There are alot of people who like to do the dodge when selling cars. My mate WILL NOT sell a car without putting "as is" because he will ONLY sell his cars when he knows something is wrong with it and after the whole thing has been degreased to look clean and schmick.

Fair call, and to be expected when it's that case, too. But having said that, I just sold a 1992 Holden Nova for $1200, and I'd done everything I could think of to get it up and reliable as a daily, bar the power steering pump which will need replacing in the next year, and I listed that in the ad, and let them know in person (I ran out of cash to do it; it still works, just makes a bit of noise at the moment). I still put "as is" on the form though, because if something DOES happen in a few months, I know I've done everything I can to check it, but I don't want someone getting narky at me.

I'd cleaned the car and engine bay down, but not full degrease, just with a bit of elbow grease. There was still some oil on the engine, but I cleaned the front bit up cause I thought it looked nice :P Got lazy with the back half.

Sucks there's people like that out there though :(

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
