What do you know about this car?

I saw it just over a week ago at a panel beater near my work. They had the front stripped to quote. They do all the high end $300K plus cars

I have a spare $160K at the moment, stuff the house reno's. It goes to auction on the 24th. I think I might have a look. . .

hey Mate, if your keen i can ask my brother tomorrow whats up with it and get a very honest description and whats up with it from him

pm me your mobile and i can get him to call you if he will.....

I will check with the panel shop tomorrow and see what they say.

Looks like it could be a flood car

I buy new car parts and slip them under the magic bench in the workshop, but a whole car might be a bit hard to get past the wife.

She said no more cars. I have built 3 others since that comment. What is one more....

Yee sweet as, let me know if you need to talk to my brother, i will let him know your keen anyway and to expect a call.

not sure if its a flood job, i asked him if there was any good flood cars the other day and he said no..

ohh someone should tell him there are no R35 skylines. meant to say that.

of course he had friends bid on it. whats the bet one of them accidently won and its listed next week because of 'non payment' or something similar

The only people stupid enough to bid on it were his mates or himself as you can see all of them have history with him and do you think the bidders names look alike or is it just me...

The names mean nothing anymore, they are randomly assigned but consistent to the same person.

How did you get all that history?

Cheers

You just log in and the info is there, you can see the same people bid on items off each other and give them perfect feed back, it is a way to build up your ratings.

thanks, found it. I thought it was a summary screen on all bidders then I realized you had put that shot together.

I would agree that the 2 highest bidders look a bit sus. But that said, good luck to them as it is not my money spent on that car. :P

Seriously, it would probably be less head f**k for the current owner to sell it to an import wrecker. Surely they would pay $5k for an M35 that has a fair number of good panels and a reasonable interior. It wouldn't be unreasonable to expect that the drivetrain is ok too.

:P

What a waste of everyone's time...

(but hey it kept us amused for a bit.) :blink:

A CPV35 with interior fire sold for $6,000 the other day here and we estimated it to be worth $3,500 to $4,000 due to the punt you are taking not knowing what is salvageable... It was seriously burnt but I forgot to get a picture.

pickles?

    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too.

The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
