Been thinking and discussing with a friend what price you could you possible get for my fully caged shell if I was to sell it all in parts stripped?

Also anyone want to take a guess what I could sell the whole motor for?

Now were only discussing this so not sure what will happen as yet. But some realistic guesses would be great.

shell maybe 3-4k and might take a while, depending on what sweeteners you add with it.

motor maybe 15-18k could also take a bit and as above depends what extras are on it. i forget what you actually have in terms of internals and all the like.

i've stripped a few before but never really sold a shell, usually fill it with scrap metal and get about 400-500

at the end of the day your always going to make more in parts than complete.

Car is no longer for sale, I couldn't part with it. I was selling cheap Because funds were going into another gtr32 to compete in pro class this year. So if I can raise 63400 that should see this beast hit pro class, with the aim of a 1.23 lap time. I know it can be done I just have to raise the funds some how. Another fun year ahead lol.

Yeah 63k ish should be enough to get the lap times downs on top of this car already. That means full floor with more aero, more power, and new suspension. But raising that money will be difficult so not planning on doing any time attack events yet, I just want to get into it and drive it sometime next month. Maybe a winton day or wrx Calder next month. Will see.

This is true, picked up the car from vpw in epping which we had on display. car stolen between roughly 1pm and 6.30pm, on an open tandem trailer ready to be transported back to bc automotive from my place in essendon. Trailer was locked secure. Middle of the day, someone had to have seen something or know something, we've had a report already in regards to a trailer spotted at an address and cops are on it. If anyone hears anything please contact the police, if anyone notices second hand parts for sale please check the serial numbers on em prior to purchase. Thanks

Since the monster isn't competing I can show one of the power graphs prior to the event at wtac. At world time attack it was turned up even more but I don't have that graph as it was on phil armours dyno. I could ask, but this should give you an indication of what was going on.

I should also mention the reason the graph drops off around 7500 is from wheel spin. Rev limit was 8800. Even with 3 fat people in the boot couldn't stop it from spinning on Brett's dyno. I'll try and get phill's dyno graphs.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
