Well the time has come for me to move on.

The car a a genuine R model, with factory Recaro Seats, Bigger sway bars and around 100kgs lighter tha the base model twin turbo.

Selling due to it not suiting my needs in a car and I dont want to hack the car up as the R models are getting rather thin on the ground these days

It is a 91 model

MV Autos Built A340E 4 speed auto, with 2800rpm stall converter, upgraded clutches and bands and is approx 18 months old, has been behind a dead standard 1JZ its whole life, so it has never raised a sweat, hasnt seen the drag strip either, has a trans cooler fitted and the MV autos shift box (can run as a manualised auto) Worth $4500 alone!

17" Enkei WRC tarmac EVO forged wheels

BIG PWR alloy radiator and twin 12" thermo fans

Custom airbox and K&N Pod filter

3" Fujisubo-Giken cat back exhaust, car still has stock dump and mid pipe fitted

Rego until the 30th of May

Has a CD player and a 4 channel amp, and an Alpine Sub in a box

Blitz Dual SBC Spec - S boost controller wired in, but the solenoid is not plumbed into the turbos

Brakes and Shocks were all replaced approx 12 months ago, so new front rotors and pads, new shocks in the front with King Springs.

Now...why is it so cheap?

The paint isnt fantastic, a few car park dings and the bonnet has faded

The main reason is the motor needs a rebuild, still runs smoothly and is quiet, but blows smoke.

Not exactly sure what is wrong with it (spent many houra head scratching), I get the feeling it is just worn out after 21 years of use.

Will need new rear tyres (car passed rego with these tyres 2 months ago, but the left rear is on the wear markers

I had big plans for this car, but I just dont have the time or money to get it the way I wanted, so my loss can be your gain!

Now the important part....the photos

Would have to have a look through the recipts, was on teh car when I bought it.

I have a feeling it was ESP Racing in Queanbeyan though

Thanks, It will be hard for me to sell, as I do like the car a lot

Well engine checked out fine....blown turbo though

A certain well known Local workshop talked a bunch of shit regarding the motor.....definately not getting any of my business

So withdrawing the car from sale...unless I get the right offer on it...as always everthing has a price.

Thanks for looking

    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
