Queenstown was nice, lots to do but I enjoyed heaps of other stuff on the island. Even just the drive from Queenstown to Milford sound was good.

Stayed at a resort/backpackers place between queens town and Christchurch, had a spa overlooking the glacier lake and mountains, private but also adults of all ages kicking back. Will go again some day.

I knew that wouldn't last long; bargain

But he wasn't using it either and the guy has already paid so he's happy

I wouldn't sell mine for less than 35k so that Warren guy was definitely smoking crack at 27k! The amount of almost stock ones that sell for 25k these days is ridiculous.

About 6 months ago he'd told me he was thinking of selling cause he just wasn't using it, going to waste. I tried to convince him to do some track days cause that would reignite the spark but, married man with kid/s, his priorities are elsewhere which is fair enough. I think it went way too cheap but at least he gets a quick sale and money in account is better than in a car not getting used.

I think he could have got low to mid 30s for it fairly easily. That engine is something special.

Only got 19.5 for mine 4 years back, had it up for 23k etc with no one even calling over a few months

Car is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay.. the dude could of had it up for 35k for 6 months for all we know guess he wanted a quick sale to avoid rego costs etc (dunno)

U still ride?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
