mmmm yes still dream to one day respray the 350z in that colour. I'll join the throng of those of us that cant afford it and will pick holes in it - monster tacho ugh - leave that to the commie dudes that need to be told when to change, white knob gear is a bit poofterish and theres way too many gauges tacked on randomly. But can't fault it from the outside drool!

$150K ..... as we say at work "have you ever seen the movie the castle?"

I had a good look at this car when autowholesale had it and the car had major amounts of modifications all over , including a built motor. It was originally a fair whack cheaper from memory, sold off as a major bargain. The car may well be worth $150k to someone given the extras it has.

It's the R34 GTR market boys not the R32 gtst bunky end of town afterall.

Yeah but even if it hits 130k it's still a bargain. The car would cost about 70'000 at the cheapest. (Remembering the colour/V spec II) and then you have the brakes which would cost about 15k, suspension im guessing is at least 10k, the motor would need 25k in parts to handle the 800HP and then you got all the bolt on stuff like the T88 uleh. Gearbox would cost 15k at the least. Diffs etc. For 150 you couldn't build an R34 GTR like this.

haha datto i work in the car business ...... most people know you can pour your life savings into a car but that doesnt mean your going to get that money back for it - cars arent an investment.

A car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it :P

first of all, there is no way u could reproduce this car for the money he is asking... if u think u can u have no idea. NO IDEA AT ALL

second, i would have that many gauges... they are all important for engine vitals

the gearknob comes with the 6 speed sequential box you idiot, it probably costs more than your entire car

dont get me wrong im a hater of monster tachos but with a car that would pick up revs like this thing its probably actually a very sensible solution rather than just rice.

lol says the 350z owner. your f**ked on resale then haha

ok retype cos that probably sound worse:

Lovely car - never said it wasnt and no i wouldnt say no if someone offered it to me and although its a lovely car im not jealous. This is my reasoning: my car i bought a year old at wholesale price for $10K less than what they were going to put it on the yard for and $30K less than what they were new .... some other person got f*ked on resale :( So i could make approximately $10K profit on it tomorrow if i wanted .... but its my dream car and i love it :pwned: and for me a car is more than $$$'s if i wanted an investment i'd buy a house.

So i guess what im trying to say is if its common knowledge he paid less for it and he's trying to sell it for $150k he's not likely to get it. Sure it may have $150K worth of gear in it etc .... but unfortunately that doesnt mean much if someones not willing to pay that amount for it. But good luck to him i hope the new owner treats it well :O

    • Welcome. This is not really true. We have a whole forum here just for the NA shitboxen. And they are not very different from the turbo shitboxen. Just weaker brakes and gearboxes, and no LSD, for the most part.
    • I'm pretty sure it has an 040 in it @Duncan Also reading up, that turbo should top out at 250 as you first thought. It will be interesting to see how early it chokes due to the changes in the head too
    • Yeah confirmed they are Nismo 555s, found the boxes in the spares with the factory injectors in. Yeah the AAC has been relocated to allow reuse of the factory brake booster line, and yes confirmed it has a 1 way valve in it. Unfortunately the one on the car is cracked, I'll need to replace it. Pretty sure I've got all the AAC plumbing correct in my previous post, but I am going to source some new fittings with 90o angles to help with the hose routing and also one really specific moulded shape for the AAC intake to cold start hose (will raid the back of our local repco when I get a chance and work out some combo that works) One of the big things I learned in the GTR is you need to be able to get your hands all around the bay when something goes wrong. I've done a bunch of re-routing now and it should be much more practical now. Also got the BOV mount re TIG-ed by the local engineering shop so that should be good to go now. Never got to the fuel pump because of some life stuff today, but will pull it to confirm it is suitable for 300rwkw when I get a chance
    • Hello everyone, I am from Malta and have recently bought myself a fully stock 1992 Nissan Skyline GTS. It has the RB20DE engine and thus is NA. Unfortunately, not a lot of information can be found online related to the GTS, unlike the information for GTS-T and GTR variants. Apart of the Skyline, I also got a 1984 Porsche 924 2.0l NA and a 2002 Renault Clio 1.5DCi for everyday use. Excited to be apart of the community and perhaps get better information on cars such as the GTS.
    • The fuel pump bracket just slides straight up.  Below is a pic I stole off a site. But basically put hand in for fuel pump, wiggle it all about a bit while pulling up.
