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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.

      R34 GTT AC short cycling ? Normal behaviour?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
