Hey I definitely don't want to kill Chris's sale, but that is the harsh reality of modified cars. But you also have to consider that for $6,500 you are only paying for the engine and associated gear, gearbox and mods - it is a bargain.

It's a paperweight (to me in my personal situation) if I can't register it, I don't have the funds to buy a tow car and all the associated stuff for a track car. Nor do I have the space, time and money to buy a shell and transfer everything into it.

a laugh at 2.5k.... no way 2.5k for a 260rwkw line with the parts I have... just the manifold, 3.5 dump and external waste gate cost over 2.5k... what about the engine management and boost control thats another thousand then you have the rims the suspension and the rest of the exhaust theres another 2.5 to 3k. And then you have a dogbox. Huge oil cooler the size of a radiator and cooler The blow off valves-two of - now thats prob more than 6.5k just there..... and then you have the car and motor.... heheheheee what a laugh.... it says 6.5k firm - thats firm with defect,

The oil leak was just the oil spurting out of the oil dipstick when not inserted correctly and giving it a bit while still cold.... which i hardly ever did... hence all sorted.....

Agreed nightcrawler.... I would be perfectly honest to say I would be sad to part with it for that price..... I have just ordered new rear tyres too.....

It will drive back fine to qld.... I still need to buy the 20 dollar turbo gasket (being purchased tomorrow tomorrow and fit)..... that can be a pain to get the turbo off the exhaust manifold because of the amount of room under the exhaust turbine and the room between the manifold bolts and the engine....you can not get a socket and wrench in there..... I have found a shortened O spanner however made of high tensile steel in order to do it although it will still be no walk in the park.... just cracking them is the hard part once they are loosened it is easy.... :-)

buy it ---> drive it back --> de rego --> engineer --> re-rego --> skids + pics!

MMmm would be an option but i do not have the stock parts turbo low mount manifold etc i only have the gduounk parts.... i am not too sure how much the box was... I will try and find out...


$so i take it this thread must be being kept hidden either that or people would not be looking for skylines with all of the goodies for such a price.......????

You can not really ever buy a modded car for with these mods for less than $12 thousand with that sort of power.......

Interesting that it has not had any interest / or sold or people look even look into it further....

    • Due to series of unfortunate events the 32 is currently my daily. Fuel economy and jungle gym aside it has not been too bad to drive around. That was until the ol' Varex decided that ~15 years and ~8 of those years on E85 was enough. The butterfly valve separated from the motors' shaft and managed to wedge/weld its self in the closed position. the varex when rapped sounded like there wasn't any packing left in it either. New Vibrant 3" muffler was selected to go in. While it is a shame to lose the quiet mode, the new Vibrant muffler definitely gives a more mellow/rounded tone which sounds great. To me it also sounds louder than the varex was open... so there is that. sorry neighbours 
    • Down shifting = Right gear, right RPM, right road speed! Try rev matching on the down shift
    • Why would you ever need to "hard change down" from 5th to 4th? Any time you're in 5th and need serious accel, you're looking to go down to 3rd or maybe even 2nd, anyway. Just treat your 30 year old gearbox with some respect.
    • Anyone else have a grinding issue changing from 5th to 4th gear. I have no issues 3rd to 4th and 4th to 5th. But the car seems to grind a little when I do 5th to 4th …    is this a common issue? Had it from the last owner. Bit annoying as I can’t hard shift down. Feels like I have to push a little to the left to get it smoother into gear.    thanks 
    • I would, especially if the car has had a few start ups or short trips to move it around  But then I'm anal as fark about oil changes, as oil is cheap, and servicing is fun.....
