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.

Damn - that's a nice R32, wih the R34 engine, correct, or its just a paint job on the cover.

25K you reckon - hmmmm.

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.

Ahhhh thats sucks mate.

Oh well, maybe you SHOULD keep it, its not like theres alot of them around.

Im happy to own mine because its a mint 40th anniversary, but a GTR V-Spec? :P:):D keeeeep it lol its rarer than a bayside 34.......isnt it?

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??

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
