A daily or toy?

I've been contemplating moving mine on. It's not really suitable for a daily unless you're a sadist. It is, however, the perfect base for a weekender. It does have a few issues, however. It had a tree fall on it so some dings on the roof, bonnet and front left guard. It also needs new bearings somewhere (not sure if alternator, PS pump or something else) and a couple of other little bits and pieces. Otherwise it's very solid and quite stout with 235rwkw (I have removed the front prop shaft) now and capacity in turbo, injectors etc for 300+. All it needs is a new FMIC.

I would want the upper end of your budget, however. I've pumped nearly $10k into recently (turbo, injectors, clutch, fuel pump, coilpacks, big brakes, wheels and tyres) so would want to recover this.

Sound like something you might be interested in?

Oh, it's yellow, too.

I'm not set on selling it, but it is something I'm considering. I have no need to sell, but my want for another Datto 1600 is extreme and I don't think I can convince the missus to let me own three cars and two motorbikes. Something has to go first.

I have been thinking of selling mine but am located in Sydney. Auto s2 c34 with dayz options. Going cheap, the only thing it needs is rust in doors fixed going for $7k

Recently spent over 6k on it, replaced all four rotors and pads, front drive shafts, rebuilt auto trans, split fire coils packs, coil over suspension all round, new alpine head unit, 3 inch exhaust from turbo back and has been serviced every 5,000 km.

    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
    • I should video mine, will prob do it tomorrow    Between 1st and 3rd, you could fit another two gears. That is how loose and wobbly it is   horrible:(
