Has arrived! A bit of a monster but she seems to be running fine and is in a lot better condition than I had expected (the interior seems to be almost flawless :cheers:). Really happy about it and looking forward to joining the elite :(. The engine idled very smoothly.

The only damage that was obvious was a little push on the front right (when facing it) making some of the panels slightly off. Some chips of paint missing and the panels above the rear door going down to the boot are rough, I think it's just old paint and will need to be touched up. Waiting for RWC though :).

Anything I should be careful about? I intend on getting a full service while it's at the mechanic. Should I ask for new sparkplugs and a compression test?

looks good! who did you get it through? was it jspec? cause that car looks familiar....

Maybe j-spec put it up? but i bought it from Geoff and prestige.

all in all good service too, but I had to wait 4 months to finally have it here, bloody shipping :cheers:. Surprisingly it has a carbon fibre topped bonnet which wasn't even listed in the mods to the car. I guess you can say I got lucky with this one.

Yeah UPI are handling it :).

ATM i'm just going to focus on getting it up and running and cleaning anything which needs work. I don't really want to think past that until i'm totally happy with the car as it is ;). Although I confess to putting my name down for a window tint already :D.

Coped the first bit of bad news today.. clutch is rooted :(, gotta get a new one.. owch. Probably happened after I bought the car too, which totally sucks. On the flip side the car apparently drives really well :).

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Absolutely could be. I collected data logs from when the O2 sensor was still out and also after I had replaced it so will try to compare them. Pretty confident that the affect is lowered with the new sensor, will check logs at the same RPMs/conditions.

      thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price

      Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?

      Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
