the reason for that is the super taikyu cars run exclusively on racing circuits. the circuits themselves have lots of safety features (even surface, run off, sand traps, angled barriers etc). so taking all that into consideration they don't cage up any more than is neccesary as weight is obviously crucial to their lap times (fairly modest power). on the other hand marlins R34 is a tarmac rally car. driving on public roads where there are hazards like trees, cliffs, un-even road surface, no run off high potential for roll over or heavy side impact. so they can afford to sacrifice some weight to get better occupant safety.

All 4 guys each with considerable race car experience have warned you not to pay too much. I guess that's all we can do.

yeah I just looked at it again, it's already gotten way too expensive imo.

And like you said, if I was to "have a big one", I'd be needing all those things like bumpers, brackets, etc etc, so'd better better served buying a whole or near complete car.

I'm confused. You know the owner already I thought? I mean isn't that his 'purple destroyer' GTR in your avatar?

furious, are you selling the car or acting on the owner's behalf? You have posted a lot about how good it is like you were trying to push up the auction price. If you are a buyer I would have thought you would just bid quietly after the first few comments?

What are you intending to do with it? Have you built a car before?

hmm :thumbsdown: why play with ebay if you are not willing to accept what the market thinks?

As I'm sure you know perfectly russ, the amount you spend on a race car, and what it is worth, have nothing to do with each other :domokun:

Hey thats sad, happens alot on ebay though....almost as annoying as those expressions of interest threads, I mean if you want to sell....put a friggin price on the item, just after a market valuation? do a search or go to a car yard, aint hard.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
