Need Some Advice... What Do You Think

[Adz2332]

Well as you know i have run a bearing in the GTR.....

I reali have a few choices.....

Im trying to save for a house and really at the moment thats the most important thing....

So i can rebuild the enigine.... $10,000....

I could try and sell the car as is.... What would it be worth? Leaving the wheels, power Fc etc etc etc?

I could strip the car get it back to standered and sell it? Whats it worth then?? And then sell the parts serperate?

Or lastly i could get a rb26 engine for 3000 and put it in my self and sell it... Whats it worth then??

These are just ideas at the mo.. Just tossing up what to do....

Then id get a cheaper car around $10,000 as a daily

Help

Strip parts, new RB26 put the work in and put your parts into new rb26 and sell the old one for cheap, or keep it incase you need to use other stuff off of it. But a cheap daily for like $2k while all this is happening if you don't already have one

[Damo_R34]

yeah i say drop another 26 in, and sell off the damaged 26, surely someone would buy it for spares etc.

[J - Rad]

Or.. Fix the RB26, swap with my RB20 and we'll call it even!

[Adz2332]

Yer i guess that way i can get out if it only asay $4000 down... but then i risk the chance of doing it again

[Damo_R34]

then sell it as a stock 33gtr, sell off z32 and power fc and your aftermarket parts. depending on year and k's and condition, etc., you could get around 24k for it stock

[Adz2332]

I have a whole list of parts thats only done around 1000kms if that...

SARD injectors

Power FC and Controller

Jun Cam Gears

Greedy Profec 2 Boost Controller

Brand New in Plastic Nismo Fuel Pump

Work Xd9s 18 x 10 Brand New Tyres

HKS boost Gauge

Pod Filters (or Standered Air Box)

Thats just the stuff i could replace for standered

depending on size, bout $1000 SARD injectors

$1300 Power FC and Controller

$250? Jun Cam Gears

$350 Greedy Profec 2 Boost Controller

$250? Brand New in Plastic Nismo Fuel Pump

$3000 at least Work Xd9s 18 x 10 Brand New Tyres

$150-200? HKS boost Gauge

$100-150? Pod Filters (or Standered Air Box)

thats approx 6k - 6.5k worth of parts!

Thats just the stuff i could replace for standered

[Adz2332]

there 700cc injectors

But yer it is roughly that sort of cash in parts...

so if i was selling the car for 24,000 get 6000 for parts get back 30000.....

have to out lay right now around $4000 to get an engine but it in and replace back to standered parts tune etc...

and have a few other little things,

Second blank GTR key,

Brand new Greedy Strut Brace

Brand new Greedy Radiator air guide

Carbon N1 wing

GTR Carbon end caps

Full Exhaust system

end of the day its up to you, but if you have the time to sell off your parts for what you want for them, youll maximise your return.

[KISIN]

i might even buy ur blown 26 ;D

[rhys5169]

yeh id just slap another rb26 in there, the car is worth bugger all sold with a dead donk. like has been suggested, replace with stock rb26, sell off all good parts from your dead motor and that will more than cover costs

[Adz2332]

Lol one way or another the blown engine will be up for sale

that looks close to your avatar there damo

[Fishpaste~]

if you ever think about owning a GTR again you will potntialy still have the same problem, and no matter what engine you buy it'll still have the same design flaws unless you fix it... so i say fix this one up if you still want to drive an import, otherwise, sell it and buy some non-turbo local car =P
