That car shell is missing so many pieces the profit margin would be slim at best, the pictures still show it with a million more pieces than it has. If you want to make a quick $25K there are better/easier ways. The only thing GTR about it is the VIN number. It would be that much of a bastard to rebuild you'd need literally another complete GTR to scab bits off, only good if you've picked up something in Japan that can't be complied and you bring it over as the donor car.....even then I can imagine Mr Angle grinder would come out and the chassis numbers would mysteriously swap....presto complied

Exactly

Why would someone strip a $60K car?

If the previous damage was that badly repaired before, and you need to recify it, you surely could not make any money tring to rebuild it for profit

maybe it was stripped to be rebuilt to a racecar with a full cage and seam welding....

How can you not make a profit when it costs roughly up to $20k to buy a full motor, box, loom, dash, brakes, wheels etc. It isnt that hard for someone who has the money and time... The hardest part of compliancing is already done.

The car will have a Damage history from this already. you wont get anything near 60k.

Maybe 50k. If its brought back to exact original.

$20k to bring back to original?

Where do you get your parts from?

Engine - V-SpecII 6k+

Gearbox 4-5K

Complete Driveline....$$$

Interior? $3-4K+

All Panels, Bumpers, Wing, Diffuser.

Can only dream. Too much.

mate i can get a 34R motor for $3.5k, box for $1,500 diffuser for $300, i think YOU are searching in the wrong spots mate, A whole front half cut with loom, steering column/rack, motor, box, headlights, bonnet, fenders dash for $9k!!! I have been messing with GTRs for a very very long time, had my own workshop, new part suppliers and ex race part suppliers. So, i dont think i have a unreasonable understanding of what it costs. You can get things cheaper off Zac at slidewize already without having to do any real searching. Sorry mate...

The car has no damage history... So i dont have a clue what you are on about, it is not a write off or stat write off.

closed. I told you twice that we don't do "please see my ebay auction ad", I asked you nicely to fix your ad to meet the rules. you didn't.

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
