I may have over capitilised on Swifty :(

Will have to loose money to move it by the looks of things

Receipts for over $1500 in the last month (in the glove box with the manuals)

Will sell for $1200 on SAU

Has almost 3 months rego. Looks & Runs soo good.

I hate it when I lose money although the challenge to restore was good

Warp Factor is 120kmph

Don't give up hope Richard! You can't expect to sell within a few days.... if you're not in a hurry just let it be for sale for a while and wait and see. Don't let it go for a silly amount.

your probably right Shell - I'm not good at waiting.

I'll drop an add on Cumtree and All Classifieds with a photo for a good price

Redbook says bad ones go for $900 and Great ones for $2100.

Don't think there's a better Swift GA out there either.

- Actually gets 800kms per 40L tank and a whopping 39kws

Are you on facebook Richard?

You could put it on that stupid Tyson's page, might sell it there. If you dont have a facebook I can put it up there for you..

All Classifieds now (note the price)

Thanks Chris - will stay off Tyson's for now. (I have a good reputation, not like that page :P)

Mate don't get disheartened, be patient ...... there will be someone that wants that at the right price. think about it (I might be wrong .. but) you've only put it up to a bunch of Skyline freaks, i.e. us .. to date. Get it out in the real world with a couple hundred extra and start negotiating, it's a nice little car, it's just that Skyline freaks usually don't want 'nice little cars'.

We all know 'if Sinista does it it's done right' .. but the real world doesn't know that yet :dry:

Don't stress, it will go ....

(Bill's don't stress classes are on every Friday between 6pm and 7pm, cash only)

Thanks

Up on A/C and within the hour have an interested party wanting to come see it.

(Not Nigerian Prince and not on an oil rig/ship wanting to use PayPal :P )

----------------------------

Edit: Turns out after I received the second response it was dodgey ^

.....very busy ......will use Paypal ..... Set up an account .....will send a representative .....

The spelling and the email names/addresses are getting better, so the first email fooled me as it was good.

Must have some English speaking clowns helping out in the spelling, grammar and content of these scams.

----------------------------

Thanks Guys

And Rob - will chat on the weekend about E-bay :D

Thanks Maaaate

I put my car on Gumtree the other day and my first response was dodgy too.... I think it's almost expected! :laugh: Mine was from a guy in the "Perth Mines" - "send me your best price and more pics"... how about get f**ked??? :rolleyes:

Second response was swaps for an Audi Quattro turbo :thumbsup:

put red seat covers in angry bird this morn, looks good

have an urge to tint windows, king springs, and HD stabiliser bar.

As my mate Jim Carey said .......

I know man... its hard not to.

What if instead of making it nice, make it handle and even lighter.

We just got new bitumen at the hillclimb track......... :D

I can make a cold air box for it, and a strut brace.

Edited by D.I.Y. Mik

Just a thought Richard ....

More than likely the type of person attracted to Angry Bird probably wont care about tint, won't know what king springs are and cant spell stabiliser bar .... although they will probably like the red seat covers .. ;)

Not trying to but in, just a thought, you rarely get ya cash back on that sort of stuff .... on any car.

Did my best to stop you .. :thumbsup:

keeps me off the streets and outta trouble :devil:

(plus I have no friends :geek:)

Just a passion for cars, satisfaction of doing a good job

hate seeing them neglected and enjoy making them good again

Generally sell at a loss or evens at best - but enjoy the work and the end result :D

Edit: Ooops answered in wrong section

    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
