I'd recommend State Roads for a pre-purchase inspection before flying out. I've used them before in the past, as well as other friends, and you get a very comprehensive report. Not to mention finding inconsistencies with engine/chassis numbers, etc, etc.

Don't use state ones, Car may have been written off in other states that may not show up.

This is a national search. Used to be known as Revs but all the other states are now contributing towards this information.

It's not really "close" to the city. I drive past there everyday to go to work in the CBD. If your not familiar with the area, not a easy place to get around. Peak hour and even normal day traffic is bitch to get around the area even in public transport. Ask him to meet you at Strathfield or a place that has a train station.

yeah shopping center still exists, there's some free parking as well. or you could arrange the guy to pick you up somewhere and drive over to Jap Link Motors 175 Parramatta Road, Haberfield NSW 2045. It's pretty much 5 mins away from Five Dock anyway. Call them and they could probably inspect the car for you.

      Hey guys! Thanks for the feedback!    it’s got some basic mods currently but it’s been tastefully done  has a z32 Maf and a HKS Mushroom filter an old logo nismo strut brace, splitfire coil packs, braided turbo lines, turbo smart boost controller, walbro 450 fuel pump, sports cat and a reinik cat back exhaust, shock works coilovers, Greddy turbo timer, blitz FMIC, blitz BOV, hard race hicas delete, ebc brakes (front), excedy heavy duty clutch, Michelin pilot sport 4 tyres, and the 33 GTR wheels from memory. i have also had my mate 3D print a gas cap holder for inside the petrol flap haha but she’s very clean underneath (being a paint sprayer of 15 years I did not want to mess around with rust!) and she’s had thousands spent on maintenance over the last few years, she drives like a new car!  my future plans is to do an RB30 rebuild with a 25 head uprated turbo etc etc I’m hoping to start this next year, I’ve just opened a premises for my business so that takes priority at the moment! But overall I’m extremely happy with it!

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm just being rude. The VQ was developed by Nissan Japan, but it comes from the time when Renault were....ruining what Nissan had been before. Just look at a Nissan Tiida, and tell me that you're not looking at a Renault. In fact, just look at a V series Skyline or Z33 etc and tell me that you're not looking at something Frenchified. I just see the VQ an emblematic of that. It is also a nasty sounding thing. I'm really glad I chose to stay RB and not put a VQ30 in when I did my car. As to the RB30 being Aussie.....arguably it's a bit Aussie.

      That depends, if the French got it from the Japanese, its Japanese. Or, is the rb30 aussie? Also, wouldn't it be Vq for a junior variant?

      As soon as the MAFs are replaced with ones that work properly, if the harness isn't ruined it should run perfectly immediately.

      Is there a good place to learn how an engine works online?

      By luke gtr · Posted

      If you haven't already decided on a career, look at being a mechanic, engine reconditioning or mechanical engineering. All 3 will give you different views and levels of knowledge (eg, mechanic is general for the whole vehicle, reconditioning will teach you engine specifics, engineer can design stuff). Or.......find something you love doing, hope its a well paying area and pay someone else to build the car for you. After 20 years of mechanicing, I've lost the passion for working on my own car. It may be different if I had access to a hoist, but it is what it is.
