Thinking Of Selling, Modified R34 4 Door

[N-DAWG]

Hi All

I've reached the point where I'm spending more than I'd like to on my Skyline, I have bigger goals in mind and whilst the idea of living out of a car is tempting I really would like to invest in buying my own place and am considering giving up owning my pride and joy so that I can afford to live.

So... I would like to know what I could expect to get (I know I'll never get my money back on parts, and especially the labour that I've spent on her)... and also any interest.

98 Model R34 25GT+t Sedan Silver Colour:

12x,xxx kms on the clock.

Replaced timing belt, idler and tensioner pulleys and seals at around 105,000kms.

The following is pretty much a summary of everything done:

TURBO CONVERSION COMPRISING OF:

- R33 GTSt Series 2 Turbocharger

- Monsta FMIC Kit

- TurboXS Plumbed back BOV

- RB25DET NEO R34 GT-Turbo Injectors

- Walbro GSS-342 255LPH/550HP Pump

- Apexi Power Intake Pod Air Filter

- JustJap Pod Filter Box

- JJR 3" Mandrel Bend Front & Dump Pipe

- Magnaflow 3" Hi-Flow Cat Converter

- Custom Made 3" Mandrel Bend Catback System by Mild 2 Wild Exhausts

- RB25DET Factory Exhaust Manifold

- Just Jap Oil Cooler and Oil Relocation Kit

- Splitfire Coilpacks

- NGK Iridium Spark Plugs

- GReddy Profec B Spec II Electronic Boost Controller (tuned for low boost 7PSI and high boost around 10-12PSI.

- GReddy eManage Blue with optional harnesses and adaptors

Starts spooling at around 1800revs reaches full boost very quickly due to the RB25DE NEO Engine.

All turbo conversion work has been carried out and tuned by Hi-Power Racing, apart from the Catback system which was done by Mild 2 Wild Exhaust in Slacks Creek.

I don't have a current peak power figure as the gearbox wasn't coping with the extra power, but the gearbox has had the rebuild and upgrade treatment in excess of 3 Grand!

Body is in good condition with the exception of a bit of stone chips on the front bar and a scratch on the left of the car. An aftermarket front bar would finish the car of nicely and the left door scratch shouldn't be too much of a deal to fix.

Other than that, the general wear and tear that 11 year old leather wheels and gear shifters have, otherwise in good shape and good condition for the age.

The car is driven with respect, never seen the track (unfortunately for me).

The gearbox oil has been changed on time with Castrol Edge 10W60 Performance Oil.

The last oil change was only a few weeks ago along with the Just Jap oil cooler and filter relocation kit.

Given the amount of work put into things like suspension, handling, brakes, the transmission... I'm sure this would make for a great car as is, or a project car for someone to complete with a lot of the ground work laid out (such as the aftermarket engine management, high performance fuel pump, oil cooler, rebuilt gearbox), this would make a great starting base for someone who wants a Project R34 4 Door, or looking for a daily driver/sleeper that they're prepared to invest more into.

Also has Queensland Mod Plates for the Turbo Conversion. 6 Months Rego renewed starting from middle of this month.

I have all the invoices and receipts for the work carried out... thousands of dollars spent!! Scary to look at in fact.

Would love to keep her and put more into it, but I'm seriously reassessing my financial position and future.

Cheers

Nathan
