(Sold) 1990 Hardtop SW20 3SGTE (SYD)
Hi guys
Regrettable post but due to space limitations and the need for rear seats, I must part ways with my two.
Model: 1990 GT Hardtop 3SGTE turbo
Colour: Red
Kms: 97,500
Rego: Nov 2018
Location: Sydney eastern suburbs
Price: $8,500 ono
There's heaps of info in my showroom thread but I'll summarise below.
The car was imported in 1997 with 95,000kms. I'm advised that since arrival, it has mostly lived in storage and was only recently registered in 2015/6. I suspect that it was used as a parts / spares car either in Japan or Australia as there were a number of missing pieces when I bought it. Kms are very low and I suspect genuine as it has been sitting for a long time.
In the last 12 months I have spent much time and money tidying up including;
Mechanically
- New exedy clutch and machined flywheel
- New clutch master and slave cylinders
- New front lower ball joints
- Replaced thermostat, housing and waterlines
- Replacing fuel tank, pump and filter
- New distributor cap, rotor, leads and plugs
- New engine mounts with poly inserts
- Front brake calipers disassembled and rebuilt, rear cleaned / inspected
- Slotted and dimpled rotors all round with EBC red pads
- Blitz SBC-ID electronic boost controller (12psi)
- HKS fuel cut defencer
- Basic services parts, oil filters, air filter, radiator cap etc
Other
- Rays SE37K forged wheels. 17x7.5 front and 17x8.5 rear
- New bluetooth headunit and wiring to doors (still using original speakers)
- Hella Horns
- Paint touch ups
- Shifter boot and knob
Issues
Mechanically, the suspension is 28 years old and in need of refresh. The gearbox is also not perfect. I suspect 2nd and 3rd syncros are worn. It drives fine when sifting slowly or rev matched well but will occasionally crunch.
Paint is not fantastic. There are many nicks and scratches. There is a muffler rattle at 1,700 rpm. It's also missing the third brake light (center on roof), passenger door panel carpet, and foglights.
The new owner can take my two tubs of spares as well as the Advan 3 spoke wheels it was imported with. I'll be sorry to see this go but really just need something more practical at the moment. Happy to consider offers but please be gentle, already taking a big loss as it is.
Please send a PM if you have any questions.
