Anyone who has a angle-mounted intercooler has to be a pretty keen drift fan. And it looks from the state of the seat that it has been used in that way for quite a few years, and often.

I think you're all being just a little harsh, someone has spent a lot of money on that car (V mount set-ups aint cheap), but yes it's obviously been driven very hard that doesn't mean it's crap or hasn't been looked after though. It's great how you guys (looks at siksII here)can make such judgements on cars from another country, without seeing it in the flesh, or driving it. BTW I'm not saying it's a great car, I'm just saying I'd reserve judment on it untill I'd either had someone inspect it for me, or driven it myself. So hard to judge from a couple of pics and a few line of description.

pft kids.. i could slap a $1000 paint job on a completely ****ed skyline, some nice rims, clean up the engine bay and you'd all say it was "oh wow".. that was till the engine or gearbox blew a few weeks later. And yet my 20 year old daily that is 20 years old, does look like a piece of crap, and i bought for next to nothing gets thrashed everyday and is reliable as rocks. So there is no definitive way to tell unless you actually take it for a drive or get a mechanical inspection.

There are two possible reasons why somebody sells a car like that:

a) They know something you won't until its too late

B) They simply got bored of it, or want the cash. Then generally a local buyer would have bought it i'd imagine.

Anyway, who knows.. who cares!

It depends what you want the car for. If you want a drift car, its probably great. If you want a daily driven street car, I would be very careful.

Personally I wouldn't touch it, but I don't want a drift car.

Edit: Oh, and replacing the RB with the SR makes quite a bit of sense for drift.

true statement :)

it all about what ur going to use the car for

but it sure isnt an everyday drive.. :mad: it doesnt even have a radio :D

i would only buy this car if i was a huge drift fan, but still would have second thoughts cause of its history

it would be intresting to see how this car will preform on the track and its power/weight ratio

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
