Car is currently tuned for reliability making 270rwkw on 20 psi and is tuned on E85. The car is complied with no accident history and was registered until rego ran out. It can be registered again if you wish to with a blue slip.

No corners have been cut on this build and everything is overkill for the power it is making which has been designed that way so it is as reliable as possible.

I am after 36k which includes all 8 rims and a 2 year old 15 foot beaver tail trailer which the car gets onto at this height. Can sell without rims or trailer if need be. Will only swap for an R34 gtr with necessary cash adjustment.

Best to contact me on 0403858714 and serious buyers only please. Located in Rouse Hill, NSW, 2155. Plates only for display purposes and are not included.

Thanks,

Brett

What made you take out the RB26? This car is simply amazing.

I've blown a fair few rb26's drifting and it gets pretty expensive so for the power required to be competitive and spin 265's easily an sr is the most reliable choice :)
