Definately agree it's an emotional issue. I love my skyline and the only reason I'll be selling it is to upgrade. Therefore I'd want enough to go near buying a R34 GTR before I'd let it go :)

So in other words I'll be keeping it until I save enough for the GTR!

enough to be able to go out and buy another one and do all the same mods to it, although in the case of the missus pulsar, i think it would probably take between 20k (enough to buy a very nice 180sx) and 80k or so, enough to buy an evo 10, LOL.

This thread is useless without pics.

If I were to sell...which I am not I would put mine on the market for $25000.

gotta be realistic with these things. i think a main reason for selling is the thing starts costing you through your teeth to maintain/up keep. highly modified ones are the real money pits. the 97 GTR series III is a glamour GTR. they look unreal. no wonder you were offered money on the spot.

hey guys and girls,

yesterday i was waiting in the car park while my my girlfriend was doing the shopping and i was approached by a gentleman probably in his mid 40's named john patterson. (if your on here mate - "g'day to you young fella!" haha).

anyway, john advised he couldnt help but notice my car and advised "it is the cleanest, all original, unmolestered GTR i have ever seen". john then continued to speak and offered me $33,000 for my car that afternoon. an offer which i refused. his offer than turned to $34,000 and then to $35,500. these offers which were also refused. :ermm: john left on good terms in his black 7 series beamer leaving me his number if i was to change my mind.

my car is not for sale, it took me too long to find her. and i only know of one other duplicate which is sitting in the nissan gallery. but it got me thinking - if your cars not for sale, what sort of money would it take for YOU to give in and sell?

cheers! :)

So now that you have decided you want to sell her, why not call the guy and say 40g's and she's yours? :down:

was my first instinct, called him back the day i started thinking about it and he had already purchased another car so didnt have the funds. he was even more depressed then i was :down:

but i go up and down with it - sometimes i just want to sell it and get a bayside blue 34 GTR, but then i everytime i drive it and think of all the hard work, money and effort i have put into making it what it is - i dotn want to have to start all over again.

had someone ask me at the traffic lights if it was for sale - had someone leave a note on my car with a mobile asking if it was for sale...

just don't know if i could, like KR4-GTR i have a rare Skyline, well rare in terms of modifications (believe to be the only genuine East Bear kitted GT-T in country) so to me that makes it a bit special, but to someone who doesn't know about it, it's going to mean squat...

soooo, sooo tempted by a R34 GTR but like others, when you have poured $$ and time/effort into your car, it's hard to move on, even if it's an upgrade. Although, with my car at 290rwkw, i'd have to play with the GTR a bit to at least start at the same point :starwars:

PSI_GTSII, what a stunning car mate!!! Got anymore pics of the interior??

      Anti Squat Kit

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      What are you doing with the car? street car or race car? People get hung up on the squat of the s/r chassis rears. There is positives to the squat if a car is setup and driven correctly for it (correct ride height, spring rate, alignment, damper valving). Generally just lengthen the rear traction arm by 5-10mm and that will help the squat and bump steer too. You are also correct with the roll centre too. This too also needs to be adjustable if you start messing with suspension geometry.   Having done quiet a bit of testing on race cars this year in regards to rear squat, I've seen some big positives from it in regards to drive off corners and traction.

      I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it Another benefit is MX5's are not really a car that gets stolen, you can pretty much park it anywhere, and it will still be there when you return

      I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8

      People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
