Gaz 1061 Report post Posted June 1, 2010 Hey guys, I've been comtemplating going to have a look at this Here as it kind of ticks the right boxs for me. Its got the ability for easy upgrades to make more power, hasn't got heaps of big gauges and crap and looks like a reasonabley tidy swap. However, I am always abit sketchy about finishing off someone elses project. What are you guys thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted June 1, 2010 It appears the car is 100% complete so id be questioning the reasoning for not getting a cert. id hazard a guess there something thats going to prevent it getting one and they seller cant be bothered fixing it?

oscar90 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2010 know the guy/autosparky place that wired this up or did some work on it,could possibly get you in touch with him if you end up looking at it seriously, he may know something about it, fairly sure the owner of this car is a relative to the owner of eurowreck.

dirtydoogle 383 Report post Posted June 1, 2010 I had a peek at that listing last night, pretty cool idea. Can't you get a pre-cert check of sorts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top Secret 2 Report post Posted June 1, 2010 Looks like a really tidy and well though out conversion. I especially like the crinkle finish paint he used on the rocker covers, nothing flashy. If you can get that car wof'd reg'd and certed for under $10g, I think that's a bargain. Would need to buy an LSD though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't you get a pre-cert check of sorts?Even if we went halves in a cert check which is around $400 from memory and that could act as a pre-purchase inspection.It's been up on tardme for awhile so that slightly concerns me too.

[email protected] 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2010 Seems okay, but I don't see the point of a nasty Nissan I6... Never liked those engines, at least a 1JZGTE or 2JZGTE Toyota engine if going for a Japanese I6 to replace the stock motor. Also being a 4 door it's instantly worth a lot less than a 2 door, they look bland. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
