I have another car onhold which is capable of much more than 13sec so I think my car has retired from the drags for now. This thing now has to go...

lol @ all the comments offering cash .... what the hell else is he going to take - Visa???

Nice car anyhow, and a free bump!

* Rear tyres are down to wear indicators.

* JVC MP3 Headunit is having 'earthing' problems (paid to get it fixed this morning, but it's having issues again, told a new headunit is probably required).

* Handbrake needs adjusting/tightening and also needs a new leather cover.

* Motul Oil + Valvoline oil/fuel filters change done only 150km ago.

$17,000 not neg until the end of March (can't believe i'm doing this).

:bonk:

DUUUUDE!!! You're out of your mind - I'm conviced of it now. Come on people - I can personally vouch for this car - It's WELL worth the money he's asking for it - Heck, it was well worth the money he was ORIGINALLY asking for it! Someone's got to be interested?? Add a nice set of aftermarket rims and you've got a sweet looking and very well performing ride! Ben doesn't have any kids yet, so this has been his baby for the past couple of years - all I can say is, he's going to make a very good father!!

LOL...congrats:thumbsup:

It was only Friday you were talking PFcs etc etc. Can you tell me how you ened up selling it, Tading Post, Carslaes, word of mouth etc, Offer any selling tips other then bend over ans sell cheaply:)?

As im needing to sell my car as quick as possible (after the respray of course:))

Yeah i've been talking P/FC's and AVC-R's for the last 6mths. Everytime I go to purchase new parts someone would call me with an offer so i'd put my money back in my pocket. Then it'd go quiet for a month so i'd be right i'll keep it and get a PowerFC, then another phonecall :(

Well the best piece of advice I can give is accept your first genuine offer. I spent/wasted 10mths trying to sell this for "the right price" meanwhile the value was dropping quicker than the offers. In the end I think I did the smart thing, weighing up the past and future costs and basically 'got rid of it'. If I'd accepted any of my first 3 offers I would have been laughing compared to my end sale price (err giveaway price).

* 10mths with a sticker on my back window (about 15-20 calls, just enquiries nobody arranged to look at it).

* 2wks in the Tradingpost (2 calls, neither looked at it).

* About 4-5mths on Carsales.com.au (about 10 calls and about 3 people looked at it)

* SAU Forums for 10mths, about 5 calls, 1 looked at it.

Without a doubt Carsales is the way to go (The SAU Forums are good because it's free but buyers are alot more pedantic). I've bought my last 3 vehicles from carsales (and sold 2 of those the 3rd I still have).

Anyway ima wait until the financial year is over, see how my tax goes (first year as a 'sole trader') and then go from there...

If anybody pulls up at a set of lights next to a Hiace van with an SAU sticker on it, give us a wave :)

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
