oh.. guess that doesn't make sense either :thumbsup: i was saying.. when i go to sell my car soon (as that is probably what is happening).. nobody wants to pay about $23k for a nicely modified R33.. they all want to pay as little as possible, and reckon a GTS-T in good condition and pretty well cared for (for the most part) with $10k of mods should only be worth $17k.. ok its not worth $10k more, but it is worth a little more than $17k.

I tried to sell it in melbourne last year and the amount of people trying to beat me down to low figures was stupid.. considering the amount of modiifcations on it (ok, true no big turbo, etc but pretty much everything else).

pissed me off..

people like to throw money away obviously.. modifying a car from scratch costs soo much..

i bought mine with a nice selection of mods because i knew modding it from scratch would cost me 2x or 3x the price and i'd never get it back. I've done a few things, but the stuff i got on there i'd never bother changing anyhow really.

hence why i may have to consider returning it to stock to sell at a cheap price.. even though to me a stock skyline is yawn territory :thumbsup:

anyhow, i was asking what james had as stock as this may help my plan.. but he has gone..

yeah, i just bought mine and to be honest i was prepared to pay more for a un modifed one,  

reason being you dont know how the modified one has been hammered prior to u buying it

yup... usually the impression is modified car = been fanged out hard...

also gives the uncertainty whether or not its been in an accident... (new front bar, etc, etc)

busy donwloading

its so ur thing.. :thumbsup:

hhmmm...

to me if a car is heavily modified if anything will go wrong it would have under stress already :thumbsup: If it brakes under stress, it would have already broke by now..but in unmodified form who knows how it will take to the extra power. On road stress testing ! :)

And you never know whether the "stock" car you bought had 50 mods in japan and exactly the same stuff was done to it over there, then returned to stock either. Plenty would have been.

u can check the obvious tho,

always good to look at bolts and nuts in places like by the turbo and intercooler to see if they have been taken off.

..and who says stock cars aren't thrashed either?

if anything, you know the guy who has modified the car is an enthusiast, who probably has cared about the car and spent more keeping it all running nicely (extra time in the shop, getting regular tunes), more so than the guy who just bought it and just thrashed it to the shops each day.. so when it had done xx,xxx km he could trade it in for something else?

Would you buy a company or family car over here? even though of course its going to be in "stock" form?

:thumbsup:

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
