I'll put this out there now: whomever may be so lucky to command ownership of Twoogle better look after her, or else I'll be comin' for ya! Twoogle is the only other GT-R I hold dear to my heart, so the new owner better love her at least as much as I do, LOL!(Do I sound like a stalker, or what???)

Have you got any current pics of the car?

Car has travelled about 50klms since it was on the cover of HPI (the last pic i put up) so it looks no different...under the hood is a little different.

The changes since the article are...

New HKS T51R SPL BB turbo kit (modified to new HKS T62 spec compressor rated at 1150hp) all ceramic coated with high temp black on turbine and manifold. Cerami-chrome on compressor cover.

New HKS GT-II 60mm external wastegate.

New Earls braided oil and water lines.

New CES 5 inch stainless dump pipe and wastegate pipe both coated in high temp black.

New PPG fully optioned billet straight cut dogbox.

New NPC race twin plate clutch with billet flywheel.

New Nismo 2 way rear diff.

New modified transfer case done by Award Diff and Gearbox.

New fully optioned Vi-PEC V88 ecu with 7 bar map sensor and plug-in adaptor.

Thats over $25000 dollars worth!!!

This is not some tired old clapped out racecar, its been maintained to a world class standard and has a fresh engine and driveline. It will have the potential to be an 8 second car when ran at the strip with over 900hp at the tyres when ran-in and tuned.

Due to the last deal on the car being a dead end its still available.

This car IS a bargain and i cannot believe ive still got it.

Does anyone have anywhere near asking price that is keen to put in a serious offer?

Start a business and lease the car for trackdays or something?

1k a day, wouldnt take too long to recover your investment.

Ide pay a grand to drive this for the day at a track, can you find 54 other people?

thats not such a bad idea really... i paid $500 for a half day rally school... in which i got to drive an 4ac powered ae86... twice, for 5 min, and an 02 sti.. twice, for 5 min... there were 15 other gits who did the exact same thing.. then there was another "class" coming through that afternoon... to do the same thing. 30 x 500 = $15000... in one day.

whether you are able to get races or not paul... you cannot sell this car.. you will regret it.. you have spent too much time and put in too much effort to sell it.. like you say, the recent additions alone have cost you $25000, so how long will it take you to have the money to buy the car off you.. so to speak? put it aside, put a car cover over it, forget its there until the bub grows up... the car is done now.. you dont have to spend anymore money on it... it will not cost you anything to keep it, whether its driven or not.. you'll never be able to get it back again, or build another like it (unless you really hate money)

cheers

Just the cost of the quality aftermarket parts alone would be worth more than the purchase price of the whole car, let alone the time and energy invested in putting everything together! If I only had more an extra garage space for this.....

Good luck with the sale!
