U want a stock, that way u can play with it from the start. If some guy has messed with it chances are its got problems from being flogged.

I hear the word is that 33s are going for f all due to the amount of people trying to offload em, good time to buy

Don't know when I'll race it next I seem to have more work on at home and everywhere than I can escape from.

The car needs some serious time for tuning before it goes racing and I still have to fit the edlebrock manifold to the volvo and maybe a high stall converter.

All kinds of reasons really stocks are low, they just bounced back last week a little. The war, last week again. People are uncertain so as a rule stuff gets cheaper cause there are more sellers than buyers.

Yeh u will learn a bit too and u can do it to ure own style and see the improvement

Turbos arent exactly the most high tech thing in the world. with the amount of imports (skylines) being sold i reckon they would know their stuff. What u pull off a couple of pipes and look for oil. not much more is there?

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
