I saw the car being built and modified, it's defintely not the genuine MINES car... however, it's unreal none the less. :(

Are you 100% autosyle own it? I'm quite sure they are SELLING it on behalf of the corner, rather than own it... as they do with a lot of their cars. Unless they recently purchased it off him.

I doubt Mines would sell the real car for any price, atleast not in the trim that it cuts sick laps times in.

Surely the development and yen invested would be more to them, then just selling their full developed product to anybody to copy or immitate?

I can't think of anything better to buy for the money.  You have a supercar fetish Alien and $169k wont get you there.

same....anybody want to buy the states quickest street skyline??

purchase the RPM 33 and then blow the extra 50k you'd need for this one, that would be interesting B)

1998 Ferrari Testarossa. $139K and 22000km.

I'd be confident in saying this GTR would blow this out of the water if you had to choose between the two.....

But i could never justify $160,000 on a GTR unless i was stupidly rich with nothing to spend my money on.

This car's got a carbon driveshaft! That's dedication!!!

NO it's not THE real mines car but yes the engine was bought from Mines (that's hardcore!). It's a MINES replica but I think it's great value considering the mods done to it. I would definitely say over $200k spent... easy.

Thats exactly what i was thinking. I has air con, is quiet and in my eyes looks almost as good. And thinking about it, i can think of three simple mods that would make it quicker then the Mines car to boot (if it isnt already) :P

    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
    • Ah, to clarify if the car has already been tuned and has been modified and you want to go from a oem cat to a 100 cell or decat or vice versa.Are you saying that the car doesn't need to be tuned after a cat change if it's already been tuned?
    • This has been covered a bazillion times but google wet boiling point vs dry. Motul is only good when it's fresh, once it absorbs moisture it gets pretty average very quickly. So as above, make sure you change it if you're going racing. I run the Endless brake fluid in mind, but only because a mate is a distributor and it's cheap. It's not quite as good as SRF but I'm running 380mm rotors on a Skyline so it's not like they get hot.
    • That's the thing, they still add it and it makes fuel cheaper, implying adding 10% of it drops the cost of 91 by what, 5c a liter? I remember when it was barely half the price of 98. Because you know, 85% of what is in the fuel is way cheaper than 91 fuel is by volume.
    • Auto electricians that do repairs on automotive AC systems can source service kits. I don't know where they actually source them. I do know that there is one available for the R34 comp that I would need it for. If you have to pay someone to dismantle, clean and do needed repairs and fit kit contents, then you'd probably end up spending a good fraction of the cost of a new one. I would not be paying for that, because I would be doing it myself. My mechanic (bro-in-law) will happily source what is needed. Back in the day (like in the 80s and 90s), rebuilding an AC compressor was the standard approach, same as for starter motors, alternators, etc, because new replacements were v. expensive. After the China manufacturing boom and the rise of the disposable approach to everything, people just started throwing broken/worn stuff away and not rebuilding things.
