Ditto. You just said you hated looking for second hand, and you want an Evo. Hence..

If you do find one though, look for rust. Look everywhere for rust. Not only on the rail, but in the wheel arches, and under the plastic bits. About 3 that I looked at were covered in rust, but I didn't find it until I was told where to look.

Look for ayc issues, oil level and lights etc.

Transfer case is a common leak as is the oil sump seal and the rocker cover seal is too..

Standard suspension usually leaks and knocks too.

To see if things have been changed in the engine bay, the original bolts have number 7 on the top.

Things I was told anyway

thanks for that man...

before i buy i'm gonna get a full inspection... probably from techsport or state roads.

I looked at one that was just out of my range that had a techsport inspection and i was impressed

this is why i am thinking of importing... can just give IM the $$$ and not spend my weekends looking at cars as it annoys me.

also, i know i might not save any $$$ or time, but in the end I will only ever have this time with my baby once and it's priceless

need to call aaron and have a better chat about it all

Yeh I had it inspected by two mechanics and sent racv to his house. He was rather pissed that I kept sending him everywhere lmao. But I was buying a car I wanted to make sure I was buying something good.

Speak to Aaron, or even northshore prestige in Sydney. Northshore is f**kig insane for quality, asked a few people to do inspections and they all said no need, the cars are 110% of the time perfect.

Lol, did you dance for them?

no

Rode to work today, no one looked at me

how do you carry your tools? :huh:

Awesome day on the spur, can't ask for better weather.

Few f**khead cars crossing over the lines, but what can you do...

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
