guys, I will post prices after I find out how much I can buy the car back for, hence the EOI. If it is a good price I'll pass the saving on =)

bbenny the engine is complete. May seperate. honestly haven't though about prices as yet. open to offers to get a ball park idea.

MattR & others who asked - I really shouldn't be "chatting" but it may reduce the moderators work in the long run so no one has to ask anymore.

The car was left in secure parking under some units in Sydney. i went away with work. Came back to find the car sitting on a spare tyre and jack. they broke into the car park with an oxy torch, proceeded to break into the car beside mine from which they stole a jack and spare tyre. and the rest is history. Alarm was disabled blah blah. the police said it was a professional hit. they didn't find a single finger print.

Interest shown for the following depending on price and time frame...

Bocsh 044 pump

NISMO adj fuel reg

momo steering wheel-damaged, boss, nismo horn button

Adj camber rods (front)

custom polished catch can (legal style)

Nismo side indicators

Time frame in not an issue. CAR HAS BEEN WRITTEN OFF. Received the call a few minutes ago. Please PM me with offers. Whole car available, but has been added to written-off register and is needed to go through RTA before reregistering.

The stacker is fine, I'll find out the part no when i get the car back.

those who have Pm'd standby on prices pls....very busy atm. i will reply I promise, may just take a couple of days.

The engine may come complete, depends on who wants what. I will sell on a first in best dressed policy...if the price is fair it's yours. the engine was compression tested @2500km and all 6 pots were within 1psi of each other. Catch can has NEVER been emptied since rebuild even during run-in. Before I blew my engine it would quarter fill a month. It has been six months since rebuild and the catch can still doesn't register oil at the lowest mark.

Head was also fully reconned with new valve stem seals, 3 angle valve jobs, etc, etc to as new condition. Engine also has a HKS head gasket (1.2mm). Compression has been dropped .3 because of the modified squish zones(which can be seen in the pic) Pistons and rods were all balanced together. rod bearings replace with exact crank specs -not universal aftermarket. Bores were 360 degree verniered(check for ovalness) and lightly honed/de-glassed for ring bed-in. All exhaust head bolts have been replaced as the have a habbit of breaking no 6(like mine had).

i am more than happy to help you guys pull bits off. I have had ever part of the car apart myself at one stage or another. Just a pitty I could see the engine at full potential =(

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
