firstly i will say don't get me wrong and i am not trying to put anyone of, chriss seems like a great guy to deal with and reasonably honest.

I have had a look at this vehicle, and yes it looks very nice and flashy but don't get taken in by this, there are a few parts of the car that additional care need to be taken when looking at the car at the time when i looked at the car. I also had the car checked over by a professional mechanic in wagga wagga where we met half way. the verdict was:

MECHANICAL

Car has a dual stage boost controller running 12 pound and 9 pound, the car handled the boost quiet well, it seems to get up and move alright, but we kept blowing the bottom intercooler hose off due to the standard hose clamps used.

i didn't notice any noise in the gearbox and it shifted fine, the car felt really good to drive, the suspension sat well and it was comfortable, but be awar of the following:

- Diff has so much play that the mechanic said he would be surprised if he would make it back to sydney, also had oil pissing out of it which if you look under the car you will see oil even on the exhaust. diff is only a single spinner, or just that rooted. (sit in the back while chris drives it, that clunk you hear isn't the exhaust) also you have to question why a car with only approx 116,000 km's has a rooted diff

- fuel pressure regulator was leaking

- front brake pads are below the wear bars and are starting to squeak

- front discs looked a little scoured but still alright

TYRES AND RIMS

- Rear tyres are rooted, worn right down on the inside of the tyres where the IRS squats when you boot it.

- Rims are quite marked, fixable but at the money asked for the car a bit too chipped up.

- look at the under body behind the rears at all the rubber under there???? makes you wonder

BODY

- Both doors are a noticbly different colour to the rest of the car, even the mechanic noticed and commented to me, and i showed chris and he acknowleded the differenc in colour.

- the paint around the boot and bonnet hinges looks very dodgey in my opinion that at one stage in its life the boot and bonnet havent been on the car and it has sat in the weather. around the gaurds on the front in the bonnet looked shabby too.

- The paint on most of the car has an orangepeel effect and i believe isn't the original paintwork

- pay attention to the left hand side infront of the rear wheel where in different light you can see a ripple throught that panel or paint, unsure, but looked dodgey

- the engine bay is the usual dull coloured burgandy which isn't very attractive

- front bar was recently repaired, but the paintwork dosn't look that crash hot.

- two pindents on the roof, one behind the drivers door one on the front right gaurd (very minor) and two also minor on the left gaurd. (these were also brought to chris's attention)

- on the front gaurds (particuarly the left hand) where the spoiler meets the paint is starting to crack from the panel, but with any low car i guess you get this, when you scrape the bar even lightly it hits the gaurd, i guess a common problem.

- missing the nissan logo thing on the boot, that you turn to put your key in.

INTERIOR

- rip in drivers seat (not on the seam & padding worn where ripped)

- minor marks on the headliner, which hangs down at the back window a bit

- handbrake boot dosn't sit right

- tray under head unit dosn't sit right (common)

- colour coding looks shit (my opinion)

- head unit looks dirty with marks on it, stereo wasn't that impressive, boot was pretty neat though.

there are two screw holes in the steering colum where there had been a gauge screwed on to it.

- there is a misile switch which apparently used to be for the driving lights in the original bar which the old switch panel under is damaged, just looks ordinary.

- seats were pretty good other than the drivers, rear was all pretty clean.

Just my two cents worth, just making anyone aware who is looking at the car.

just to save the confussion also:

- The car is owned and registered by his family's company

- Chris has been given authorisation from the director (his mum) on behalf of the company to sell the car, so you are giving the money to the company and getting a recipet from the company. (i verified this with his parents and it is all legit etc.)

I would recomend getting a blueslip with the car from a mechanic shop that you recomend, as chris works for a car dealership and told me he recently had the car looked over and said that everythign was fine. But after noticing obvious things that didn't quiet add up i had it checked over...

p.m me for more info, would be a good car at the right price.....

      Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me

      Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.

      Most women will agree that parking is the most taxing part of driving

      You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
