Hey guys first time poster here .
Hi
2 hours ago, Henasi said:I have acquired a 2003 bp5 legacy , the guy I got it off has done a heap of work himself changes some of the interior to new stuff , recond block heads and head gaskets done etc have some of the proof but most done by himself.
I'm scared for you.
2 hours ago, Henasi said:The problems are cars in limp mode has thrown a few codes one being the knock sensor I'm sorting that but have been told that wont cause it to go into limp mode ?
Is the knock sensor saying there is knock, or is the ecu saying that the knock sensor is broken? Big difference and I think if the engine is knocking, then it will go into limp mode for sure at some level of knock.
2 hours ago, Henasi said:Main cause of concern is
b0223 - can-hs vdc/abs no receive data
and u1223- can-hs vdc/abs no receive data .
Few things online and talking to people seem to think could be the abs computer they are common to fault with some wire in them , if anyone had the abs wiring diagram for a 2003 bp5 legacy that would be great
If that's true I doubt a wiring diagram is going to help.

They won't seal perfectly for long and will start to breather a bit better. I wouldn't worry about it.

you will find strut nuts and bolts all over the ground at pick a part.

Holy crap... I'd not come across that before. Black, silver and white does not make a Harlequin soob though.
-
While the motor is out I've been busy cleaning wheel wells and the engine bay, and straightening up the sills at the 4 jack points.
I have some new front fenders I bought from Tony years ago that I want to put on, but they need painting and I don't want to spend
the money until the engine is sorted. Also have some tidier side skirts to go on and all new clips... but they also are the wrong colour

The thread size means the width not the length.
-
From the pics it's pretty hard to say... the AE ball joint does look chunkier than the FE and the thread def could be bigger.
If the thread on the AE is bigger, then you could possibly have it cut down to a 14mm thread... or alternatively go to the newer rack and change both rack ends to the AE.
If you are going to cut the thread on the AE... at a minimum get an engineer to assess the safety of doing that.
-
So we have a pretty solid conclusion then.
-
maybe the same
-
Looks like the thread at the ball joint end is a different size... could just be the photo though.

Its frustrating. Don't get where the hate comes from. If you owned one, would you be selling it below market value? Obviously not.
The next type R i've got lined up is going to cost more than what i've been offered on this - the market is the market, just like any other goods or service for sale. Supply / demand and what people want to pay for it.
I have a v5 Type R that I bought 6 years ago for 12k and thought I over paid. It's logical that people asking 60 to 90 k all of a sudden are going to be seen as price gouging. Take it personally if you want.
Fact is, it's just sad that the good old days of being spoiled rotten with cheap imports is over.

Heck even buying and selling a house only had capital gains tax come in a few years ago. Until that point if you sold for more than you bought for then good for you.
There's a capital gains tax on housing in NZ?
I've never heard of having to pay tax when buying and selling privately owned cars. Common sense (not jealousy) says there must be some threshold though. No idea what it might be, but if you were full time buying and selling privately owned cars for profit... the IRD will surely come knocking one day. Or maybe not... we are in NZ after all.

That guy's a dreamer.
To be fair, so is @Niran and what he's selling is way tidier. But who knows, maybe someone spectacularly optimistic will pay asking.
Bidding is around 60k on his currently... seems like a more reasonable amount, though it still kills me that they cost that much and
I have to find a new favourite car.
10 hours ago, boon said:People mistaking immaculate, completely original, 25000km cars for their daily-driven, somewhat modified, obviously "used" 120000km+ cars.
This is what I expect to see when people ask big bucks for an old and previously cheap car.

Still high km, but someone has spent a lot of time restoring it... and it's not super expensive either.

Not in our lifetime.
The latest BRZ is still rwd, gets a 2.4 NA motor with a mighty 170kw/228bhp.
I was thinking of a scenario where I trashed my wrx shell and was able to swap the running gear to a brz. Definitely dreaming on the 4wd thing though... probably on the engine too.
8 hours ago, newsuba said:Which Focus RS were you referring to ?
The 2nd gen FWD one was rubbish, sounded amazing, didn't handle that well, and didn't feel like it had 300hp.
The later 4wd was a ball of fun with the rear clutch pack activated drift mode.
It was a bad example really as they aren't even old. The 4wd version is awesome... incredibly fast in stock form, just with some decent tyres. I know nothing much about the fwd version.

🤣
I tried really hard not to comment... 90k and he probably hasn't even cleaned it... I find it to be a bit insulting for some reason.

Revival again. Got another project happening. So if this is the case that V5-6 yellows are 550cc does that mean the V7 pink top feeds are only 15cc more? So basically the same size.
Or do the top feed injectors operate better overall giving better fueling?
I know nothing about the v7 injectors.
AFAIK top feed just gives you a lot more options and much greater maximum flow.

Do you have any glass bottles in the car?

Absolutely!!! Can get some pretty sweet turbo kits for the BRZ too.
Sell the GC8 for big bucks and get a BRZ.
haha. Mine is ruined... would be very hard to return to stock.
-
At least BRZs are coming down in price.
300 kw 4wd BRZ will be plenty of fun.
-
If the cars for sale were low km and look like they just rolled off the showroom floor, then sure that's worth big bucks. But nothing for sale in NZ is like that... they are high km,
covered in dents, "restored" in a half hearted manner or not at all. Because the market was flooded and they have been so cheap, no one has looked after them or kept them
stock.

Unfortunately or fortunately they aren't dreamers, its just a fact. These cars are now asking this money. In Australia a car like Nirans would be worth over 100k. If anything NZ is behind the times with values.
It's FOMO like the over heated housing market. People will pay, but they aren't getting value.

Not true, very awesome car and highly sort after.

It's still on Facebook at 85k also.
I assume you're talking about crashing it at a race event where insurance is a iffy thing?
No insurance at all while racing... not for the car anyway.... MSNZ cover third party damage.

His has just gone back up on TM for 78k.
I'd be amazed if there was someone out there willing to pay that price for such a high km car that isn't even stock or even very rare (several on TM right now)... but who knows?
Mostly I'm pissed at the current asking prices of these cars because it means if I crash mine I can't replace it, and have just destroyed a 100k car.. not a 20k car!
