If you're interested, get in touch, I'm happy to have a chat and am flexible on price. Wanna give the SAU guys 'n gals a chance before I put it on carsales.

Hehe I like that photo - elbow out the window, all nonchalant, like, "What?".

Probably.

so yeah... have driven a couple of clubmans now... not that impressed to be honest. just can't afford to drop that much on a toy. so it looks like selling the R34 and running around in a "normal" car for a while... sad, yes, but i'll be happier when i see my bank balance recover.

I don't street race this car and have never had a speeding fine or defect in it. Otherwise driven mainly in 80-90 km/h zones, light traffic. Can produce all receipts for modifications and servicing. Asking $30,990 O.N.O. Any serious offer considered. No swaps, sorry. Perfect for road/race. Not willing to drop too much on price as there's not much that needs doing to this car unless you want to turn it into a very serious racecar or go to town on it cosmetically. This car has been my baby for 2 years. Always garaged overnight and rarely parked on the street. I'm selling as unfortunately I need to reshuffle things financially a bit. John Contact: 1.

Well I remember seeing a Westfield with the independent rear doing mid-45's, and other one with a SR20DET in it going even quicker. The Hill's a pretty intimidating place in the R34. Fun though, and at least you don't get the cooling worries you get at QR in the hotter months.

I'd sell 'em with the car or separately. IF I sell the car.... haha

Erm no sign of PM in mah inbox....

LOL why do you hate them so, Harry? I'm yet to have a proper look at one so I'm neutral on the subject. I'm not a very experienced hillclimber but I think AWD is a huge advantage around there. Part of it too is the car badly needs a better diff, the standard helical is fine on the road but spins up when you give it 100% (coming off turn 6 at QR or heading back up the hill towards Lover's Leap).

maybe someone knowledgeable (i.e. from on here) will see the value of the fairly extensive work it's had done to it - just not in the usual way i guess (meaning spend all your money on the engine and worry about the other stuff later). i'm not asking for offers or anything just yet but feel free to PM or post what price ballpark you think is reasonable. 87,000kms, i guess the sig says the rest. no accident damage, one owner since import, cosmetically very clean (including underneath), it'll be sold with 18" rays nismo rims....

hehe yeah he loves me because i've funded his kids' dental bills i reckon. plus he gets to drive it occasionally. rob from chiptorque did an awesome tune for me, i couldn't believe the difference, not really in outright numbers but just how well it comes on boost now. mental. it's a combination of things really, during the week i drive this awesome car through boring traffic and leave it parked all day. i'm totally paranoid about leaving it elsewhere despite having a paging alarm system (eg. on the street in the valley or something) and don't have a second car. the other factor is i do want to keep racing, and to go any further with this car and get it going genuinely fast will involve a full engine rebuild, forged bits, 2-way LSD, pulling weight out of it, bigger turbo, half cage, fuel system upgrade etc etc and it all just gets very very very expensive. i'm not 100% sold on the clubman idea yet, still have to get my arse into one and see what i think, but i get the feeling the 34 will feel like a bus after i drive one. they're so light! so the theory is to sell the 34 to fund getting a clubman, and have an "ordinary" car that i won't be tempted to modify and spend $1000's on to do the daily driver stuff in. in theory.

i'm thinking i won't regret it if i get an insane clubman. better power to weight ratio etc... thinking thinking.......

lolz u messin with mah head.... still thinking.... thinking thinking thinking....

/sarcasm?

Ok so sounds like carsales + SAU for the win... Looking at a couple of clubmans on the weekend so we'll so how we go.

*THINKING* of getting into a clubman - Caterham, PRB, Westfield etc. Wanna go faster on the hillclimbs and track days. Also picking up an old R31 to just run around in, park on the street and not worry about it all the time etc. Still just tossing ideas around. Not sure on price yet... not expecting to get the money from the mods back (usually not how it works) but would like the transition into a decent Lotus Seven replica to be at least a financially neutral affair... I'll probably post a proper "for sale" next week if you guys reckon it's worth a try on here.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of selling my car. Just wondering if anyone wanted to add their $0.02 about how to sell, where, should I sell now etc. etc. etc. It has to go to a good home though....

sounds like you weren't exactly hanging about yourself there cam... how did the brakes go this time?

give em a coupla hundred km's dude - brand new tyres are slippery as because of the compound on them to make them slip easily out of the moulds in the factory and all those little mould injection hairy thingies. go easy for a bit then push a bit and let us know.

Depends. Remember the search button is your friend. For road use something around -1 deg front camber and -0.5 deg rear is ok. Toes should be 0mm front and maybe 1mm total rear toe in though people will argue this. If you've lowered the car you might not be able to get to these camber values and will need a camber kit or raise it up a bit. The rear of Skylines is especially known for this. Interesting feedback about the RT615's, thanks.

Cool, let us know how they go. I'm in the market soon-ish for similar street (weekend-use only) tyres, looking at the Falken RT615, Hankook RS2, Federal RS595, Kumho Ecsta MX or maybe Yoko AD07's if I can get 'em.... Happy new years everyone!

I have not used these tyres, but it looks as though they are a street-oriented tyre. There are some comments about these (RS2) vs the Falken tyre (615) at the top of this thread: http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/showthr...230#post1153230 Also they tested the RS2 in with other street tyres in the recent Car and Driver magazine test. Basically the comment was that they're cheap and their results were up with the best (Yokohama AD07, BFG T/A KD and Michelin PS2) in the dry.
