Want to be careful with the c63.

The whole catastrophic engine failure fault they have with the head bolts is costly.

How much is a c63 engine rebuild though?

People tend to have no issues coughing up $10k to $20k in GTR engine rebuilds once every few years :30_no_mouth:

This is where the cost of a Tax accountant that knows what they are doing outweighs the costs   FYI $300/h

or $100k every few events for burnout cars...

or $15k for OEM intake bits for their ferraris or $10k for a new bumper on their Lotus' or $2000 a year for new tyres on their BMW X5's or $10k on VW polo GTI engine when the pistons melt or $6k on BMW gearboxes when they throw an error code.

I dont know how people have money for rent/mortgage/food/school fees sometimes

Guys in the USA are getting quotes of 30-40k from the dealers. 10k+ from performance shops.

The headbolts back out and it dumps the coolant into the sump/bores and if it doesn't bend a rod or two it ruins the bearings as coolants a shit replacement for oil.

I'd be happy paying $10k plus for a c63 engine rebuild

Just tuned car back to the stock tune with the flash tuner, man I forgot how much the transmission tune limits the car but dropping power between changes.. on the bright side my car is farting again which is nice. Still feels pretty quick too, probably the traction I'm not used to having.

Had some old bloke look to buy it the other day and think he wants to have it inspected by a mechanic so figured should bring it back to stock tune.. also don't want old mate killing himself

Nope, I've basically returned car back to stock and re-uploaded pics & changed the ad description due to the people viewing it saying in the end it's too modified for their liking, too low, etc. 

I took him for a test drive in the wet anyway so wouldn't know the difference, if it were some young dude then I'd tell them about the tune but it seems all the people that have asked about the car want it stock standard. 

So stock brakes, wheels, suspension, tune is back on - which will bring me about ~5k anyway, the suspension and rims already gone.

Toll confirmed for worst courier around.
Took 15mins yesterday to book a pickup due severe language difficulties.
Get a call this morning from the driver, again with language difficulties, trying to find out where he needed to go. Had the wrong Street number at first, then turned out he had the wrong postcode and was in Canberra. f**king muppets. Would have been better off booking online.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
