Dudes and Dudesses once more... 
I've decided to stick me car back up for sale here. I had it up for sale slightly half-heartedly before Xmas, but since then I've done the five stud thang and replaced all brake components on all four corners. More info below.
Car is located in Glasgow, but I can supply many pics and even vids for anyone who is far away.
Chassis has done approx 98,000 miles, engine & gearbox has done approx 110,000 miles. I simply don’t have the ability to do the things I want to do with it myself, and I don’t have the cash to pay for someone else to do it either. Also, I’m climbing onto the property ladder and I need all the cash I can get! I hardly ever use it now if the truth be told, it just gets used for popping to Tesco or the odd blast along the M8 to Edinburgh at weekends.
• Taxed until end of Jan 08
• MOT will be due early July
Always allowed to warm up fully, oil change regularly at 3k intervals.
Good points
-Very good solid shell with virtually no rust (sills might need redone as I’ve found a small bubble coming through again, but that should be done before the sale if I can get it organised)
-S14 SR20 (High mileage but very strong, turbo also looked pretty new when the engine swap was done approx 10,000 miles ago)
-Five stud conversion
-R33 GTSt callipers and braided lines up front (I kept the standard setup at the back to keep the better handbrake, except with new pads and new redrilled-to-5x114.3 discs)
-Walbro fuel pump
-Brand new pads and discs all round
-Big box of poly bushes included but not yet fitted (Covers every bush except rear subframe bushes)
-HKS Metal air filter
-Braided oil pipe for turbo
-Nismo urethane gear knob
-Brand new battery
-Nice Pioneer head unit which plays MP3s
Bad points
-Electrical problem somewhere along the line to the TPS means that it idles strangely and can be lumpy and juddery on occasion, especially if it’s not warmed up properly. Should be a simple fix for someone with a multimeter and a modicum of talent.
-Car has been parked in a residential area where parking is survival of the fittest. Some of the paint has been scraped off the corner of the front bumper by some prick in a Golf, and some unidentified gay has pushed the rear quarter panel in very on the driver’s side in front of the rear wheel and then buggered off. It’s only really noticeable when the light hits it a certain way or you’re actually looking for it. Otherwise the paint is in pretty good condition for a car of this age, and should be back to almost new when I give it a good T-Cutting.
-The rear subframe bushes are goosed, and poly ones aren’t included in the pack I’ve mentioned above (although the metal collars for the original bushes are), so they’ll need sorted one way or t’other.
-The left rear ABS sensor was killed by the garage during the five stud swap, so the ABS is out of action at the moment. Obviously not a big deal if it’s used for drift, but should be mentioned nonetheless.
-The PAS pump squeals annoyingly on full lock and plays up a little when it’s cold. A spare PAS pump should be pennies, or it could be replaced with an electric one for better response?
-It only has a crappy open diff, which means you’ll either have to weld it or replace it with an S14 diff or, ultimately, a good mech. diff. I have an S14 diff somewhere which could possibly be supplied if need be.
-As it’s the sunroof model, it can be a bit noisy at high speeds. I’ve just gotten used to it so I don’t notice any rattles or squeaks any more anyway
No doubt I’ve missed something important out, so if you have any other Q’s, please feel to fire away!
If you’re interested, drop me an e-mail at graham_carracher@yahoo.co.uk
Here are some pics of the car before the five stud swap. I'll try and get some more recent ones when I get a chance to get the fucker washed properly!
And, freakily, here is a perfect example of exactly what I'd do if I had the cash and was keeping it:
In summation, it's not perfect, but could be an awesome car if someone put some cash and effort into it. I'm after £2.5k, but I'll consider all offers. However, the first person to offer me something really insulting gets a punch in the kidney
