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.

33R gone

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?

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
