Haven't bought it yet... the guy's woeful grasp of English still haunts me

Yeah wait until you order and see how many emails you receive from him and how they are all set out and spelt, it's CRAZY!!!

However you saw the product and it's the best I've bought from anywhere

I look forward to taking one for a drive. I wouldn't be surprised if one ends up being my next car. What colour did you get?

It's funny I always hear from Skyline owners how long it takes for them to sell their car. Many of them told me not to sell it because it would take so long and have my time wasted by so many people. I sold mine in a month and got a good price :)

WRC Blue Mica - the Subaru exclusive colour (the Toyota twins exclusive colour is Orange.) IMO the best colour of the lot, I wasn't set on any other colours.

Re: my Skyline, it was hard for a number of reasons;

*Auto

*Turbo

*4 Door

*Highish (but genuine) km's

Limited my market considerably because most people want manual coupes with 'low kms' and a P Plater can't drive turbo. The first person to come and see it (after 4.5 months for sale) just lowballed me even though the car was as described and they had nothing to pick on. Second person brought all his mates, I let him test drive and he bought it. It was a good car, it just had to sell eventually. Frustrating thing was having 3x regos and 3x comprehensive insurances at once...

So the Roady passed everything...

But the guard lining?

Umm wtf?! He said just get the guard liners put in and he'll pass it. And he'll do the next Roady free?

Why wouldn't u just pass it? Lol

I think so, he said the only reason it's all passed is because its extremely neat and very well hidden ie gate and big turbo.

But for guard lining? Man it's such a waste of time, and one lining is $70

Negz, done a few front guards and kept the lining. Tony's one, jonoes two.. And a few others from the BMW forums aswell. And I got my linig back in too, just lost the passenger side so I have to source a new/used one

Indeed it is, I had it pointed out to me too.

Good to know you can keep r34 ones... I may be a future potential client... maybe. xD.

Other costs coming up such as major ~_~

More so on ours as there's wires that run along the top rail and apparently "if the tyre pops and shreds the steel lining can rip through those wires"

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
