    After being in hibernation over the winter, I thought I'd best start Taz up and make sure all was well.

    I cranked the engine a few times with the fuel pump fuse out, until I could see oil on the cams. Then I put the fuse back in and went to start her for real. I expected it to take a while for the fuel to come through .....

    She starts first time. A bit of condensation in the exhaust, this went after 5 minutes. The revs settled down a couple of minute after I stopped filming.

    She ran fine when I took her out for a spin - a testemony to the reliability of the SR20 when correctly maintained

    She's back in the garage now until collection

    Insurance renewal just came through.

    What to do? Re-insure and keep the car? Don't insure and sell?

    The devil in me says "keep the car and drift it", but it's such a perfect car, I don't think I could do it to her

    dont mean to be cheeky but save wasting time may as well cut to the chase, considered dropping the price anymore or will you just keep it if you dont get above 4k for it?

    also what kind of mileage does the vvt rattle tend to arise, this seems to b high miles with no problem of it but others have much less and do have the problem, is there a way of preventing the problem?

    No hard or fast rules for vvt, luck of the draw it seems.

    When will he listen to me, take some parts off and drop the price

    Price has been dropped this morning to £3495. If you want to discuss price further, drop me a PM

    No hard and fast rule. This car get's typical VVT when moving away in 1st gear on a warm engine (after being left for about 30 mins). It only does it the once. When starting from cold or hot there is no noise at all. There is no noise when idling or normal driving This is classic VVT (well, NVCTS) noise as defined by Nissan themselves and is *not* a problem. You can fix the noise by replaceing the sprocket, but it will come back and you will have wasted that money.

    I just don't fancy taking any parts off...it would be such a shame. Dropped to £3495 anyway! I must be mad

    If you had a kid called Taz born on 5th May 1997...the plate is even cooler! (Although, I like to think that's when Taz's birthday was )
