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 :)

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
