the only difference between when you got the car and it running like ass was your brilliant stroke of genius to "reset the ECU". what did you do to reset the ECU?

didn't you just buy this car last week? how'd you manage to fuck it up already?

esp if it was a 200ZR and was running an RB of some sort kaysev of 2011 prediction.

Z31 done ghetto, but done right. Epic use of 180SX BN kit.

you should own a regular car before you take on the headaches of a classic. put it this way, this car's gonna be driven hard once a week. if it breaks it'll go into a workshop while I drive a daily. you, on the other hand don't have that luxury.

no S30 is a keeper. no sell. never. unless i find an even more epic S30.

fuckin thing better have a locker in it. super fun nostalgic slidey time.

we've used a pair of Volvo S90 Ignitors on an RB we built for a track car. Got brand new ones from Bosch Australia, they cost about $90 each.

tooooo much vinyl...

I've owned one before in the C10. Didn't realise it was a gen until I opened the bonnet (this was back in the day when we bought shit sight unseen). Hence the $5000 profit once it got here.

nissan should supply 300zx's from factory with the engine out to save people the time fucking around taking it out on delivery to change the oil filter.

lol i completely forgot I had inquired about this car, until it got brought up in the "300zx vs GTR... engine out fun" thread. Couple of phonecalls later and I jizzed my pants. lol that's cos I'm not gonna be restoring or modding anything. buy, import, tune, drive. the end.

He said it was a kakimoto 3.1L. not sure if it's a genuine one or a replica using LD28 crank, honda pistons etc. said I'd buy pending on the mechanic inspection, gotta get the guy out there into hickville country japan. will know then. apparently makes 215rwkw not bad for an old clunker.

gentlementlemen... just gave a counter offer on: http://www.j-spec.com.au/featured/fairlady-z-11157.html FUCK YEAH Seller came back with a offer that was good enough to accept. just putting some last minute vice clamps on his nuts to squeeze a better price.

i actually like his music, no homo. he does look like a emo tranny christian rock group member though.

personally, a nice mint condition 92-94 R32 GTR (preferably a V Spec or V Spec II.... stay clear of N1's) freshly imported under SEVS and budget about 23k for the car only (not including rego, insurance etc). Being a SEVS import you'll have the ease of mind that it's been freshly complied and inspected and have the option of getting up to 3 years warranty on it (using a 3rd party, at extra cost).

think its teh front bar not the bonnet. gnargoyle looking gap under the driver side headlight.

1 week just a large parcel. I'm paying voumetric weight though, so I can fit a few sump plugs in easy.

jizzy did you enter that google talent search? get your shit out there bros.

what do you think I put as downpayment for my house? dunno what the others did with their %, we don't ask questions.

200ZR i actually bought, then sold to my cuz, and the NSX I part owned (well I chipped in 15k). yes, and ignored. not selling rims yet. no, but working for an importer did help, basically everytime a balls out cool car came along I'd buy it, bring it down drive it for a week and then sell it privately for a small profit. Cool cars come up all the time, but by the time you wait for dipshits to make their mind up about if they wanna bid on it or not it's gone... so I just took bets on cars pretty much. SOme cars rocked up and were lemons so I sold em for what it cost, others I sold for profit.

I'm 28. I started with a $50 subaru sherpa, sold that and got a corolla, sold that and got a cressida, sold that and bought a toyota sera actually (forgot that one) cos it had mad gullwings. was my first import, after that I got a 180sx and it's been turbo import toy of some sort after that, unless I have some guilty crisis and decide to get something reliable to use as a daily.

just a rusty old C10 coupe. bought it cos it had a kakimoto built L31 in it. sold it for $5000 more than I bought it for without even lifting a finger to some bloke in QLD who wanted to make it "GTR spec". He was a panel beater who loved old dattos so I'm sure he did resto it. Last I heard he sold it for a mint to the US or Dubai or someshit.

C33 Laurel mirrors are the same, failing that, S13 mirrors are a good fit
