Anyway boys let’s get back on track.............

This V-Spec 2 that is in Melbourne - http://www.carpoint.com.au/all-cars/dealer/details.aspx?R=AGC-AD-15966156&Cr=1

The more I look at the ad the more I'm convinced how attractive the car is.

Let me quote this from the ad:

· This car is original down to the radio, shift knob, shift boot and standard exhaust system, with only the addition of a MOMO steering wheel. It also retains the ultra-rare factory forged BBS 17x8 inch wheels with as close to factory spec tyres as available Since arriving at our workshop in Australia it has undergone a full service including changing all the fluids: gearbox, transfer case, differentials, engine oil, coolant and brake fluid. The car comes with all books from Japan as well as the de-registration paper and auction sheet to verify the kilometres and that the car does not have an accident history. The vehicle will also come with a Victorian roadworthy certificate, 12 months registration and optional warranty.

Has anyone looked at the car? I'd love to know how it presents in real life. They all look good in pics....

That said, condition can be improved with money, missing rare parts can also be purchased but at a substantial premium.

Books, De-reg papers, auction reports and being accident free is a different kettle of fish.

The car is located at: Carizma International 21 Duke St, Abbotsford, Vic 3067

Please let us know what you think if you have a look at it.

Cheers...... Bob.

So $30k drive away after on road costs.

Unfortunately cant see the auction papers clearly for grade and markings etc even after capturing and increasing view using paint.net. A 4b or 4.5 would be exciting. A phone call is required but as Bob said (and it's probably keeping you awake at night) your post above has me thinking finances. JOC would be handy about now but you would expect legit as papers etc posted in advertisement. Looking forward for some one to report back after casting a careful eye over this one. A flight to Melb may be in order for Tuesday Bob?.

Edit. Top right hand box has a 3.5 in it.

Yep 3.5.......

I may be able to afford the car and flight, BUT not the DIVORCE!!!!!!!!!

Bob.

Haha, might do, I might on sell this one. Still looking for an N1, still.................

You dont have to look for too long, one is up tommorrow at USS Tokyo, 50,000kms, grade 4B, passed in last week at around $43K L&C. $55K+? large should get it.

Thankfully no sign of rust in mine, but I fully expect that some will come to light when I have the paint redone and replace all of the mouldings and rubbers in time.

How many changes to the ADM Bob, 128 right?

The aerial and side indicators were added to meet local compliance, amongst other things...gives it an RC Car look :)

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
