WANTED: Sierra soft top in excellent original condition

OR a stock looking car with an engine converison registered in NSW would be ideal

I'm in Coffs Harbour but will buy from anywhere on the east coast

[yz1975]

BUMP!

[stockman]

2 out of 3 ain't bad.

yeah I saw that on carsales, an engine conversion is number 1 on my list , lifts, tyres etc are secondary.

Edited: Engine conversions I'm after would be:
Sr20
Ca18
4age
1.6 EFi
GTi
Turbo
etc


Thanks for the help

What's the plan for this zook you want to buy?
Just noticed things like rotary and v6.

[yz1975]

Maybe the rotary and V6 aren't such good ideas! haha

I will be using it on the beach and short trips on the highway into town at first, I may get into bush tracks etc later but I can do all that work myself if I decide to do that. Knowing me but i'll probably end up putting 31's on it

The end of my street turns onto the highway which is 100km/h and you need to get up to speed pretty quick, it's my excuse for something quicker than the standard 1.3 which I have test driven recently and it really wasn't enough for me.

I've done engine conversions before in Mazda's and Datsun's, I could do one myself but I'd rather buy one done and enjoy it straight away

I'm not after massive power, at least 50% more power than standard would be nice.

Any ideas?

You just described the G16B.

Your chances of finding a zook with one are pretty good. Otherwise, its a 2 day job to fit one incl. wiring, so its not the end of the world if the perfect ( for you) zook comes along and its still 1.3L.

[BlueSuzy]

Have you driven a stock sierra?

Changing leads and plugs is normally a 50% power increase

[SierraDan]

98RON adds another 50%.

[yz1975]

Haha!

I most likely would grab a G16b EFi converted Sierra, if one was for sale in NSW with rego at the moment. I just missed out on a 1.6 EFI Baleno engine one last week.

On carsales there is a Coily in Queensland with a G16b atm, but then I'd have to stuff around getting engineers reports, blue slip, rego etc.

I am in Coffs Harbour and I don't even think there is currently an RTA approved engineer locally, I'd have to tow it to Sydney! Forget that!

If something doesn't come up in the next week or so I will have to grab a rego'd stocker and do the engine conversion myself

Thanks for the advice

what colour was the baleno engined one?

Still pining over old bluey ah?

[BlueSuzy]

Id love to see where she got to. Heard its been through many owners

[yz1975]

The Baleno engine one was white, was on gumtree for $6500 odd. Would have been a great buy but I was too late

This would be ideal, but I'd have to do engineers / rego stuffing around unless anyone can do me a blueslip in NSW?

Hey mate, ill send you a personal message about my zook

[yz1975]

[yz1975]

I don't think I'm going to have much luck so if anyone has a clean stocker I am keen to hear about it

Cheers
