Hi everyone! :D

I'm considering buying an EP3R at the end of the year!

What are some things I should look out for with the EP3R in particular? Currently there's one for sale up here in QLD at the moment, but I'm prepared to travel interstate for an immaculate one.

What's the average price I should be aiming for?
18-05-2011, 09:33 AM
Philip Lee

hi mate,

the one in QLD is the silver one on Carsales?

there are not many cars up here so be prepared to travel. in terms of price it's hard to say so far in advance.

just a ballpark, a pre facelift shouldn't be more than $20k unless it's in top condition with geninue very very low kays. currently most pre-FL go between 15 - 20k, depending on condition and mods.

facelift will likely be still over $20k.

Hmm chromies, u mean WMB's? I think someone may have these on CW! XD9 and 11R's are both nice. 11R seem to be nicer with big dish. No dish XD9 is better IMO. Someone may have these rims too depending if you come sat arvo :0.

what times coffee? cause i need to do some photos for street-cover on the evo nats in the morning. i like the glim gunmetal silver on the 11r ft but it'll be 18x8.5+31 and i'll have to lower my car right? other than that it looks like 17x8 +35 11r in bronze.

18x8 35+ maybe a better and safer idea! May still need rolling in the rear!

JohnO there's a guy selling black 11Rs for 2.1 k 8.5 +47. will just fit tightly with rears rolled. Will stick out a little!
18-05-2011, 08:18 PM
JohnO

alright i'll have a look, btw what size hub rings would we need for the works? i see a bunch on jdmconcept and its confusing...
Also another question since our cars are nearly a decade old, should the fuel filter be changed since im not getting the right fuel economy or that my gauge misreads and so the light comes up way too early.

sold my ninja today for way too cheap to my mates boyfriend, but its gone and ive got mula for wheels!

hey with the ones in the f/s section with the +47 offset is it just more concavity? more dish when you go lower right?

offset and width makes the concavity.
18-05-2011, 10:16 PM

If u want dish you need to get atleast a 30 offset which is very hard to run daily on an ep! For normal people anyway! U still coming this sat?

Thanks mate!

Yeah that's the 2005 FL silver one up here for $24k, but there's also a white PFL up on the Sunshine Coast with just under 100,000k's on it asking just under $20k.

I don't really want to spend much over $18k, but at the same time I want something very clean and preferably stock ofcourse (but who doesn't? :)) So I guess it's jus a matter of compromise.

Is there anything with the EP3 that I need to look out for when inspecting them? Also apart from the basic bumper/light changes, are there any major difference between the PFL/FL models?

And final question, what do you guys pay for insurance on your cars?

Sorry for the massive amount of noob questions, i've spent the last 3 years around eg's and dc2's and can tell you anything you wanna know about them lol but the EP3/K20 range is all new to me!

Thanks heaps fellas.

Apart from the usual things you check on a used car, check for:

- Steering rack noise (remedy is just to grease it up so not too big a problem)
- Broken engine mounts

Apart from those, there are no major problems as long as the car is maintained correctly.

Don't touch dealers' car up here. I have seen a few but never seen one in reasonable condition.

The one up at sunshine coast is owned by a member here who bought it from another member here......

The silver FL has been on carsales for at least 12 months. Funny thing is it has been listed at $26k for so long until I put my ad up.....

20-05-2011, 11:49 AM

ah well. As mentioned before on this thread. The fact the turnover of the ep3 is so high nowadays, it rapidly devalues the ep3 in the market.

Soon enough it'll worth shit all like the typical nissan skyline, siliva and etc thanks to the high turnover.

I've heard too many stories of p-platers selling off to move on to turbo after they get their fulls. And then it gets sold to another p-plater. It becomes a never ending cycle.

A few p-platers told me I should go turbo because I got my fulls. It's all too typical. I ain't jumping into that band wagon. LOL
