It's a good rig, it has a lot of potential.

It will be a shame to see him sell it.

If you can think of any of your mates who would be interested by all means pass it on.

Biggest issue is cops, none of them are into show cars really. I built mine first, then 2 others built tubbed big block XD's, there were 3 getting around in Frankston in the early to mid 80's........we even ran wheelie bars, it was a different era lol

Yeah that's the tough part.

Even when I got my first performance car it was a different era, we got away with heaps by comparison with today's standards.

It's very anti-enthusiast now days, and why not when you can make so much revenue fining people for bullshit.

mmmmmmm craaaabs

Yeah I noticed that in his post lol.

Noticed too late to fix it though, so crabs it is :D

Who needs carbs when you've got crabs to pour in fuel for you.

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
