Bass will shake the rear view mirror loose inside the car, but with the windows up, you can’t hear it outside the car, it’s the way I wanted it. If you want to show off, fold the seats down, put the windows down and doof your head off). Total replacement value of stereo is $2k plus.

Other Comments:

I have got a job offer in the States starting mid-year, don’t know if/when I will be back, so as much as I’d like to store it and keep it, it makes no sense. Price is very reasonable and reasonably firm. Over 25k has gone into this car. If I sell it for any less, then I’m losing more than I’m getting back.

The car in person sells itself, but I will honestly answer any questions anyone has. I have owned the car for four years. And although it has gone through a massive transformation, it has not once missed a beat. Very reliable, very good power, handles like a go kart and snaps heads like a supermodel for all the right reasons. It is tight as a drum, and I have chased down every rattle and squeak and it is very quiet inside the car. And even though I am biased, I doubt you will find a better overall example.

I have put less than 10,00k’s on it in 4 years, and the low k’s are clearly evident in the overall condition of the car, especially the interior. It lives in a lockup garage and washed weekly. Car was not thrashed and abused –I’m a soft-cock behind the wheel and those of you who know me will agree.

Known issues: minimal. If I were keeping it I would do something about the diff, as it is still a single spinner. Fine for n/a driving, but turbo used to present some traction issues. Spool/locker/LSD – up to you. 2nd gear synchro can get over-run if you get brutal on it, but other than that fine. And that is literally all. If I could fault it, I would have already fixed it. Not a cent to spend, and I’m dead serious. I’m happy to show the car to genuinely interested parties, but I won’t tolerate time wasters, tyre-kickers or test-pilots.

Good luck with the sale Mat! By far one of the best looking Aus Spec R31's out there.

I know for a fact this car owes Mat ALOTTT of money, the buyer of this car will be a very lucky person.

cheers dean. fishing for offers here. as the white 33 owner on queens pde yesterday can attest, this thing can hold its head up high amongst the grey import crowd. 3.0L vs 2.5L in a 2nd gear roll on.....tsk tsk, should have known better.

Clean car dude, tribute to the old skool good luck with the sale

[SMOKEYV35]

guys, got a few blokes lined up to look at it this weekend - if you're keen to have a look then let me know. my number is O438 32O 369

Brad from Ballarat, who rang me last week, i have misplaced your phone number mate - if you are still keen to come down and check it out let me know what day suits you best.

[rb30gtr]

air con work?

[SMOKEYV35]

air con work?

sure does. re-gassed it 18months ago, its ice cold. cooler has been fitted specifically in a way to retain the aircon.

all electronic options are fitted and working - remember this car was the luxury model of the time, equivalent to a Ti Maxima or something similar today. has working cruise (modified to operate with manual transmission), power windows, trip computer, central locking etc.

BUMP, all PM's replied to sorry for the delay, got my wisdom teeth out last week.....

[SMOKEYV35]

righto, i'm not here to bollocks spiders.

this car needs to sell. i am dropping the price significantly. have had an interested party at the original price but he is taking his sweet arse time closing the sale, so its open to buyers interested at 11k firm. i would rather throw a match on it than see it parted out to a bare shell, but i can't afford to be emotional about this anymore. the car has to go, either as a whole, or in the sum of its parts.

i have had this figure in my head from the start, and if it doesnt move at this price over the next 2 months - the car will be parted out down to a bare shell. at 11k i am losing over 14k on this build, which absoloutely bleeds me. any price lower than this, i will make more off the parts alone. this revised price is as low as i'm willing to go, so low ball me and expect a rude response.

DO NOT EXPRESS INTEREST ON PARTS

. i am not willing to talk to anyone about parts in any way shape or form at this stage. i strictly want to hear from people who are interested in the entire car only.

SO

11k as is

10k without rims, Ti rims fitted

9.5k without R34 brakes, HR31 calipers and rotors fitted.

[SMOKEYV35]

bump, car is going on ebay soon. if that fails, will be getting stripped down. somebody save it from such a tragic fate pls!

This has to be one of the cleanest cars I have seen for ages considering its age. Full credit to you for the way it has been presented, lets hope it goes to someone who will carry on with care and attention you have shown.
