Anyone Interested In A Swap?

[rb26stagea]

Hi Guys,

Having broken my back this week, I have been ordered by the neurosurgeon to never again have any fun: no body surfing, jet-skiing, motorsport etc...

So I am in a position where performance modified cars are now a no-go.

Having put some thought into what I want as a daily driver (my Stagea is no longer suitable), I thought I'd put the idea out there for a swap.

If you look in the for sale section, ( http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/To...ml&hl=350gt ) you will see my V35, which was the ChargeSpeed entry in Tokyo Auto Salon '07: the car won a runner up prize in the 'sporty car' category.

Given that I can no longer even get into the car, let alone drive it, I thought I'd see if anyone with a good condition, basically stock manual Premium edition (brembo model only) 350GT coupe would be interested in a swap? I am willing to take a small financial hit if it means I can have a car that I can actually use...

I relaise this is a topic probably best put in the for sale section, but since I'm looking specifically for a V35 I thought I'd post in here.

Mods, please feel free to remove this post if it's breaking/bending the rules...

Have a good Xmas all...

Micah

Spewing dude.

If you lived in Perth and i could see the car in person i might do a swap with you...

and sorry my car don't have Brembo and it's an auto, which would be better for you since it's such a smooth ride

Sorry Paul: I have had 2 manual (brembo) V35s so far, and just wouldn't be able to bring myself to drive an auto... I know it's a matter of horses for courses: I am now permanently limited, but as I can still drive manual, that's what I'm chasing

blue slip isn't an issue ...

email me at [email protected] with pics/details if you like: I have bucketloads of pics etc, and would like to discuss further... Car runs standard suspension?

My only (minor) issue is that due to my condition, I am unable to travel for at least the next 6 weeks, but that can be worked around: I have trusted friends/mechanics in Sydney who can inspect for me, and am more than willing to let someone you trust up here (Gold Coast) inspect my car...

Either way, email me, and we can see if it's going to suit...

Cheers,

Micah

Ah: just saw that you're in Tamworth: if it's possible to make the trip up here, that will make things easier...

talked to the wife and she is not sure about the seats as we use our 35 as a daily drive and yours would be a replacement but ill send some pics to you

Sorry to hear that. Good luck with the sale.

To be honest, the seats aren't the most comfortable (but by far the grippiest I've ever used), as they are so DEEP, but driver's side shoulder checks require you to lean forwards, and physically look back, as the mirrors are so small: it's definitely the sort of car that's suited to weekend drives...

[turbosuk]

looks like i'll have to leave it with you

hope you sell it soon would be a great car for the weekend or on the track

sorry to hear abt ur back....hope u get beta soon.

btw, u wont b interested in parting with the bodykit, r u??

if u don, pls let me noe. thz.

I love the look of the car, and would be so very interested if not for the 30,000 extra kms over mine (and I'd have to swap out my plenum spacer and exhaust).

You obviously have your reasons, but why couldn't you just swap out the suspension and seats and keep the rest of the great vehicle? Surely the body bits wouldn't be affecting your back?

[rb26stagea]

I'd really like to leave it as shown: it has a history in its current guise... My original intention was to enter it into the major car shows of '09, but then they went and cancelled them...

Besides, I need a daily, and it's just too attention grabbing for my taste: I have my Stagea for weekends, as it's now 95% completed and I want a neat, clean daily driver... The V35 swap is one of several optons I'm considering...
