I saw the car being built and modified, it's defintely not the genuine MINES car... however, it's unreal none the less. :(

Are you 100% autosyle own it? I'm quite sure they are SELLING it on behalf of the corner, rather than own it... as they do with a lot of their cars. Unless they recently purchased it off him.

I doubt Mines would sell the real car for any price, atleast not in the trim that it cuts sick laps times in.

Surely the development and yen invested would be more to them, then just selling their full developed product to anybody to copy or immitate?

I can't think of anything better to buy for the money.  You have a supercar fetish Alien and $169k wont get you there.

same....anybody want to buy the states quickest street skyline??

purchase the RPM 33 and then blow the extra 50k you'd need for this one, that would be interesting B)

I'd be confident in saying this GTR would blow this out of the water if you had to choose between the two.....

But i could never justify $160,000 on a GTR unless i was stupidly rich with nothing to spend my money on.

This car's got a carbon driveshaft! That's dedication!!!

NO it's not THE real mines car but yes the engine was bought from Mines (that's hardcore!). It's a MINES replica but I think it's great value considering the mods done to it. I would definitely say over $200k spent... easy.

Thats exactly what i was thinking. I has air con, is quiet and in my eyes looks almost as good. And thinking about it, i can think of three simple mods that would make it quicker then the Mines car to boot (if it isnt already) :P

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
