Hey i was actually looking at that and at the 360 and 430's damelian has there for sale. The story the salesman gave me is the car was bought for a brat kids 21st birthday prez, it has a nismo exhaust as the only extra i could notice when i took it for a test. Aparently he brought it to damelian and traded it for a Red modena convirtible.....

fresh car, should be cheaper though

The former owner was 21?

Without casting aspersions on a 21 yr old... If I was a buyer, I'd want to check on 'faults/launches' on Nissan's computers + confirm that the warranty is intact.

I know that the advert mentions 'balance of wty' but I know of stories of cars sold at R.D.

You may or may not haggle on a car that's virtually new - but if you intend to haggle, you've got 5 days to do it 'n turn the screws whilst their minds are distracted by monthly figures.

Hope that helps a little bit Kev.

thats why i said it should be cheaper, because i know if i was given an r35 for a 21st bday prez and i didn't earn it myself, those 5000km on the odometer would all be launch control km's.

Also RD doesn't negotiate that much with his prestige unless its extreme circumstances...

i took it for a drive yesterday, and i took a modena for a drive aswell, against all my instinct telling me the r35 is better value, faster, smoother, more reliable, cheaper.... the looks are personal preference but i like the modena better but thats my opinion, ferrari had a way better sound from its stock exhaust than the r35 had with a nismo exhaust. At the end of the day it wasn't a rational decision, I had my heart set on a modena from the beginning.

Apparently the salesman said with LC it does 0-100 in 2.8 seconds and it did it in 3.4 seconds standard, the salesman had me convinced the gtr was the car i wanted untill he started telling me those LC times that suggest those 5000km on it were as i suspected last week are very hard km's. I opted away from it and decided on the modena, no i dont track my cars much, no i wasn't looking for a daily driver, i was looking for basically a sunday pride and joy, the GTR is still on the table, but maybe later on in my life or if a better one at a good price comes by.

Anyway here is the pic of both the cars in question

It's not a nismo exhaust, not sure where you got that idea. Nismo only make one exhaust for the GT-R and it's the same as the SpecV item. I.e. oval single tip split in two per side. It's over 20k for the nismo cat back.

The exhaust fitted to this white car is just some aftermarket cat back.

it says nismo on the end of the pipes....

i dunno what there meant to look like, but i read "NISMO" on it....

and it doesnt matter if its $20k for the nismo one, the kid got it for a 21st and traded it in later for a much more expensive F430 ferrari, so money isnt a prob for them....

Congrats, did you go ahead with the sale?

A mate has one (black 360 f1) for sale in Victoria, Aust delivered similar ks as the one at Rick D's.

Thanks dude, yeah got it, its an absolute dream to drive, i'm more surprised about how comfortable the suspension is on bumpy roads...

yeah i might have been talking to your mate on the exotic forums, his online name is richie or something, if this car fell through i was considering going to melb to look at his.

Oh and the update, the R35 in question has a deposit taken on it, dont know if its legit or not but thats what it said this arvo

    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
    • Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine
    • Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
    • I'll send you a message, but until I know what is OK (and anything that isn't) its kind of hard to work out a fair price. BTW I'm just helping out here, ultimately it is Mel's call what she accepts but I know it will go sooner or later.
