Been daily'ing a Soarer since last year, nice car but it's getting a bit old and all sorts of 'old car' problems had started popping up, seatbelts not retracting properly, AC display fucked, passenger window doesn't work, bonnet and boot struts need regassing etc etc. Just a whole heap of little problems that I'd rather not waste money on fixing.
So I bought this back in June:
Had the interior and engine bay professionally groomed. Cambelt was due, so ordered a new genuine belt, waterpump, tensioners, cam seals etc from Nick @ NST. After that was done I had to address the brakes, the rears were practically down to metal and one of the rotors had some nasty gouging, so new pads all round and new rotors out back. Had the front bumper and lip resprayed cause it was a bit scratched up, and then decided to sort the hella sunk fitment so I bought a set of 350Z Touring V2 wheels. Normally 18x8 front and 18x8.5 rear but these are actually two rear pairs, so 18x8.5 +33 all round. Thinking about some 5mm slip on spacers for the rear just to bring them out a tad, but otherwise it looks good enough for a daily.
Only things to sort now are a new accelerator position sensor, seems a common fault with these cars and this one is playing up pretty bad at light throttle. Also the turbo is a bit whiny when cold. Not too bothered at the moment but i'm thinking it's a good excuse to do the ole steel wheel high flow in the future.
Edit: Just been looking back through some of the pages. Maaan I wanna get the 90 going again. Might rip into it this weekend if the weather is good I think, will be nice to relive this glorious moment

so yeah, couldn't ask for a better motor really. Deatschwerks DW300 fuel pump also installed, NST supplies them for $170+gst and they outflow the equivalent Walbro/Bosch so a good alternative for those of you in the market for a pump.
