I may have over capitilised on Swifty :(

Will have to loose money to move it by the looks of things

Receipts for over $1500 in the last month (in the glove box with the manuals)

Will sell for $1200 on SAU

Has almost 3 months rego. Looks & Runs soo good.

I hate it when I lose money although the challenge to restore was good

Warp Factor is 120kmph

Don't give up hope Richard! You can't expect to sell within a few days.... if you're not in a hurry just let it be for sale for a while and wait and see. Don't let it go for a silly amount.

your probably right Shell - I'm not good at waiting.

I'll drop an add on Cumtree and All Classifieds with a photo for a good price

Redbook says bad ones go for $900 and Great ones for $2100.

Don't think there's a better Swift GA out there either.

- Actually gets 800kms per 40L tank and a whopping 39kws

Are you on facebook Richard?

You could put it on that stupid Tyson's page, might sell it there. If you dont have a facebook I can put it up there for you..

All Classifieds now (note the price)

Thanks Chris - will stay off Tyson's for now. (I have a good reputation, not like that page :P)

Mate don't get disheartened, be patient ...... there will be someone that wants that at the right price. think about it (I might be wrong .. but) you've only put it up to a bunch of Skyline freaks, i.e. us .. to date. Get it out in the real world with a couple hundred extra and start negotiating, it's a nice little car, it's just that Skyline freaks usually don't want 'nice little cars'.

We all know 'if Sinista does it it's done right' .. but the real world doesn't know that yet :dry:

Don't stress, it will go ....

Thanks

Up on A/C and within the hour have an interested party wanting to come see it.

(Not Nigerian Prince and not on an oil rig/ship wanting to use PayPal :P )

----------------------------

Edit: Turns out after I received the second response it was dodgey ^

.....very busy ......will use Paypal ..... Set up an account .....will send a representative .....

The spelling and the email names/addresses are getting better, so the first email fooled me as it was good.

Must have some English speaking clowns helping out in the spelling, grammar and content of these scams.

----------------------------

Thanks Guys

And Rob - will chat on the weekend about E-bay :D

Thanks Maaaate

I put my car on Gumtree the other day and my first response was dodgy too.... I think it's almost expected! :laugh: Mine was from a guy in the "Perth Mines" - "send me your best price and more pics"... how about get f**ked??? :rolleyes:

Second response was swaps for an Audi Quattro turbo :thumbsup:

put red seat covers in angry bird this morn, looks good

have an urge to tint windows, king springs, and HD stabiliser bar.

As my mate Jim Carey said .......

I know man... its hard not to.

What if instead of making it nice, make it handle and even lighter.

We just got new bitumen at the hillclimb track......... :D

I can make a cold air box for it, and a strut brace.

Edited by D.I.Y. Mik

Just a thought Richard ....

More than likely the type of person attracted to Angry Bird probably wont care about tint, won't know what king springs are and cant spell stabiliser bar .... although they will probably like the red seat covers .. ;)

Not trying to but in, just a thought, you rarely get ya cash back on that sort of stuff .... on any car.

Did my best to stop you .. :thumbsup:

keeps me off the streets and outta trouble :devil:

(plus I have no friends :geek:)

Just a passion for cars, satisfaction of doing a good job

hate seeing them neglected and enjoy making them good again

Generally sell at a loss or evens at best - but enjoy the work and the end result :D

Edit: Ooops answered in wrong section

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
