TLDR; Great car, rare model - buy it now for $12,500. Currently has 12 months registration (VIC) and will be sold with RWC.

Long story:
Imported from Japan in August 2011 through J-Spec with 63,000 KM. The car was sourced from Saitama. Have 100+ photo's and some video from the initial inspection in Japan. Thousands spend on mods and maintenance with receipts. I have the dereg/export papers from Japan too which lists KM's at the last 2 registrations in Japan. Very clean inside, engine and transmission running very smoothly.

Reason for sale: have debts, need money to get them under control :(

The bad
Paint is showing its age in some areas which is to be expected for a 15 year old car. The paint has some peeling on the rear spoiler, though this is currently painted gunmetal plastidip which can be easily removed. A dint on drivers side and front passenger side doors. I may get the dints fixed prior to selling.

Fun yet practical car. Fold down rear seats creates a wealth of space in the back. Enough to move a 2 seat couch or a single bed. I've moved a 2.5 seat sofa bed easily and also a 3 seat couch having the boot slightly open. Despite spending a fair amount to maintain the car, it has all been preventative and the car has been very reliable.

    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
