Car was inspected today by Stateroads. It passed every test except for one of the struts was leaking. The strut was replaced today by the dealership (I'll confirm in person that it was, but they have a workshop there so I don't doubt it)

.

Everything else was perfect except for a minor faded section on the front left quarter panel, which I already knew about.

The final comments for the inspector were:

"THIS VEHICLE PRESENTS AS IN REASONABLE CONDITION FOR ITS AGE ,THE BODY SHOWS NO MAJOR STRUCTURAL

OR MAJOR BODY REPAIR.SOME SUPERFICIAL REPAIR AND PAINTWORK TO PANELS SHOWN.
THE ENGINE RUNS AND SOUNDS GOOD FOR AGE WITH NO MAJOR NOISE SMOKE OR FUMES EVIDENT DURING
ENGINE TESTING.
THIS VEHICLE TEST DROVE AND PERFORMED REASONABLY WELL FOR ITS AGE WITH NO MAJOR DRIVELINE OR
UNDERCARRIAGE NOISE AUDIBLE ON THE TEST DRIVE."

Sounds alright mate, choice is on you now :)

You went the right way about it in the end. And keep that State Roads report, as it's a good bit of paper to have if/when you decide to sell yourself.

Yep picked it up on Wednesday :) Don't have any decent pics other than the ones that were previously uploaded, I'll try get some this weekend. Loving the drive so far

Yewwww! Good result, throw some pics up and get looking for some new rims ASAP, even stockies will do! :thumbsup:

haha come on the wheels aren't "that" bad. At least they aren't chrome dishplate rims. I'm currently saving for other things so not sure if I'm going to drop 1k+ for a new set for a while.

  • 3 weeks later...

That's the series 2 front bar I'm fairly certain. 2000+ baby.

I've always been a fan of series 1 tho, more aggressive I feel.

But looks clean man! I forgot black cars are meant to look like that... mine is so dirty atm :'(

The photo might be playing some tricks haha it's in good condition but definitely needs a good cut and polish. I've just sold my FTO so might have some funds for a set of wheels under 1k

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
