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....

or strip, sell, buy stock parts, sell car, make more than $6k

just requires effort and a few slabs of beer with your mates

    • Yeah I'm keeping an eye on it and might take it out as a once off if this doesn't fully charge. I did some research that said it's normal in equalisation charging. Voltage I thought was 20+ (faulty battery in multimeter) but now its on 15.9v, the max it should go to is 16.2v as per the manual. I'll provide an update once hopefully it's actually fully charged and in float mode. Waiting for it to go to 16.2v and not higher and see what happens. What I suspect has happened is that even though it's not an old battery, I did leave the car turned off for almost 4 weeks at one point then left it off for another 2 weeks which might have erroded the battery and is taking a long time to do this equlisation charge.
    • I wouldn't be using the seats a lot since it's on Historic rego and will not be driven a lot, however I also don't want to fork out 3k for something that won't last. Havent looked at BRZ seats, aiming for something of the same era I did speak to him on the phone once, and I do see your point haha. How many kms do you think you drove before they started wearing out? Just had a look at yours, certainly looking for a reclinable version. The Brides don't look too bad! I would still like to sit in one just to make sure it's what I'm after.    Thanks for the replies fellas. 
    • I bought my Bride reps from Crank Motorsport. He is, um, a trifle disorganised. I would have to look back at the e-mails to make sure I got it right, but I think he sent me normal fabric ones when I ordered the "Alcantara" ones. So he had to pay for shipping 3x and I'm sure that f**ked him off big time. And asking technical questions where nuanced English is required is a no go. It's simple English only. And....should I have bought the Alcantara ones? Well, as it turns out, they are great, feel great, etc, but the fabris wore through on the point of the waist bolster in <2 years. Must have caught a rip from a rivet on jeans or shorts, or something like that. So now I have to patch it somehow. A bit shit. My fault, ultimately, because it is Chinesium Faux Alcantara, not the real thing, and it turns ot that it has the tear resistance of a soggy tissue. But the seats and the reails are great. I probably should have gotten the R34 style ones, and now that they price is up in that ridiculous sort of number, I could have sold them for a profit!
    • Another recco is to just let it rest for a while and go back and reconnect later.
    • keep an extinguisher nearby? or even better, take it out of the car to charge?
