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)

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

    • Poor bleeding. That stupid damping loop in the plumbing that should be completely replaced with a braided hose. Just the first 2 that come to mind.
    • Forgive the potentially silly question but are the vents for bay temps? I've been toying with how to reduce my bay temps because man, it gets HOT in there and a small subtle vent somewhere I think might help. Or, maybe they're to assist with just the intake temps?

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
