French Rally Sunny GTiR

mmmm! some things just don't quite add up
im not that clued up on euro sunny specs but I do know that uk sunnys had no a/c but did have electric windows (unless that was an optional extra)

the car is deffo a euro sunny but not sure whether an rb or ra model
you need to get it running and drive it to see if its got the rb short ratio g/box and lsd front diff fitted, if so then it will be an rb model

whats the chassis number on it?
pm it to me fred

I'm aware that the one i had had the electric windows and was a "luxe" version and didn't have any a/c, this one seems to be a Rallye version, so no electric windows, no a/c, and no mats on the rear struts....

bob, i just sent you the vin number

it's JN1EGNN14U00XXXXX

Sunny:
Sunny was the badge used for the European-delivered GTI-R. They had a different chassis number of EGNN14, and came in both right hand drive and left hand drive variants. The engine output specifications (220 PS / 162 kW and 267 Nm / 197 lb·ft) were slightly less due to the ecu having different fuel and ignition maps to compensate for the lower octane fuel available in those areas. The Sunny GTI-R had several physical differences to the Pulsar, such as the rear number plate surround and rear fog lights. The interior also varied from the Pulsar with some of the more basic trim from the RB model. In 1992 they were priced in the UK at £20,553.

Hope that helps you out

Thanks for the info!

i will get some more info detailing the car once it will be home...!

Fred you being French and living in France I know of mate.

You needing left or right hand drive cars in France I have no idea of!
I have never been to France lol

We can drive both lhd or rhd, but for sûre lhd is far better to drive. Rhd on french road, you might falling in the gutter each time you drive, unless you take all the road, ah ah!

trailer booked for sunday, and yesterday evening i also told to my girlfriend a new sunny will be here by sunday evening...., bad joke, she was very very angry!!!!!!!

i told her, rather then keeping mini parts every where, i sold some to empty the cave...and transform them in a sunny! Ah ah!!
but she wasn't laughing at all.....

never tell women anything fred  
if you do and they are not car mad there will always be a price on your head  

or balls....

to avoid any other problems like the previous times i drove a car back home, i decide to tell her the truth, and so the truth was said...still sometihing wrong with her!

so any car i bring back from hell, it's the same thing, angry blablabla...terrible, as beautiful she is...

Today is the day ! Hard time this morning! 5.30am and let's go for 6 road hours!

good luck pal hope you have a save journey

Have fun  

Good luck fred hope the journey is worth it  

Im still on the road!
On the trip back home. No problems this morning, nobody on the road. This afternoon its quite diifferent, mano Camping car and miror home, crowded road....hope to be notso disturbed, it remains250km to drive.

About the car, quite untouched! Almost standard apart the shocks!! It nerfs works on the Shell, there is many pokes on the sides...no Rust, it needs a good patchwork!
Even the exhaust is standard!

Ill put some pics this evening.

I bloody hate traffic, look forward to the pics

Arrived safe! Yesterday at 7.30pm! Pics due very soon mates!
Before we left we checked the fault code, and it is 5 long and 5 short....

Sounds like it is normal and ok = code 55

So, it is not, for sure, a standard model as there is nothing inside...there is not even any tray to put a head unit or the door pocket on the passenger's door....

i think it is a rally model, one the ones needed to homologate the model for the world rally championship.

here some pictures to illustrate the thread. many other will follow. i will need your help to troubleshoot all mistakes and so on to make it driveable and back on the road again!

central box : top cover is broken, so i need a new one too...

that's all for the moment!!!

Bet thats your rattle then ... oil starvation .

Glad you found one happy motoring

Oil star what? So it Would be the sump in cause?

What i mean fred is the dent in the sump could be stopping oil getting up the engine as that is where the oil pick up pipe is ...hopefully it hasnt been started upto many times as no oil means goodbye engine  

Awesome!  
For sûre the dent is important...i'll take it off after draining the oil...to See what happened under...

This morning i'll try to blank the side vents and remove the IC to clean it a bit.
And put the battery on charge.

Yes mate take it off and smack the dent out then refit it ...you will have to get some sealent as they dont make gasket for it ....
