How did the buyer find the car? Eg. Local contact, car sales,gumtree, etc.

Also were they a local buyer?

I am becoming quite tempted by a V36. And am considering putting my V35 up for sale.

hey greg,

well i had the car advertised on carsales, gumtree, boostcruising, local pocket trader and about 4 different local facebook pages. the buyer told me that his mate showed him my advert on the local fb page. he has actually been wanting a V35 for about 12 months so he grabbed it pretty quick. to be honest i only got 2 inquiries from gumtree and 1 from carsales but a shit load of views and a fair few people had favourited or saved my ad.

hope that helps

Thanks. That is helpful. Considering the 'buyers market' at the moment most have a lot of trouble selling imports. I was quite impressed how quick yours sold, and for darn close to your original asking price. And in a regional location too! So it is certainly good to learn your 'secret' :)

yeah very true. ah well when i first advertised it i thought it'd sell locally quite fast simply because there's only like 3 in town and it turns a lot of heads etc.

i don't think you'll have a problem selling yours

    • Update 2: Today I'm f**king pissed. Some of you probably saw my thread that I opened shortly after joining this forum, "urgently need expert/experienced opinion", in which I discussed the possibility of a porous RB26 engine block which I also found hard to believe. Currently both turbos are out since the shitty braided line that was installed by whoever fitted the GT28 turbos leaked oil onto the exhaust. Today while working on the cam covers to put new gaskets and half moons in, I cleaned the side of the engine block with brake cleaner. Some time later I saw that it was still glistening with oil or coolant so I dried that off. But it was wet again shortly after. Verdict: I'm royally screwed. What you can see here (hopefully, despite shit resolution), circled in red, is a crack above the turbo oil feed. Extent is a few cm long and basically goes from #3 cylinder wall to #4 cylinder wall. It slowly lets coolant through, even without any pressure behind it. I am absolutely dumbfounded as to how this crack even formed, especially since it isn't along the cylinder as it usually is but rather a horizontal crack. Probably a few cm in length. Not sure on how to deal with this issue right now. Most likely, the only true fix is a new engine block, and even a relatively well done temporary fix requires at least a full engine teardown. Neither of those really fit my timetable right now, the car has been in my buddy's garage long enough as it is. I'm open to suggestions, but I'll be looking into ordering a new 05U block soon so I have one ready for the coming year, or whenever the current block inevitably fails fully. (Most likely once the crack reaches one of the frost plugs) I think it'd be a waste of money and time to rebuild the engine with this block. Oh and I found a rust hole on the side pocket of the trunk, which someone covered up with sealant goop, a piece of number plate and bodywork filler. Fun times. So far for every issue we fix we just find a new one that is arguably worse.
    • I have not found this no. I put one back on a couple days ago with no drama. I agree they are tight, but no need to remove anything. 
    • That is gates blue racing belt
    • Anyone found gates blue racing to be extremely tight/ almost impossible to install without moving the exhaust gear
