They didn't seem to keep this car long, Seems a little bit dear compared to others on the net, but then again they don't look anywhere near as sexy as this one - nor are they as modified :(

On Car Sales

They had it for well over a year!!!

Id buy it!

Makes me regret my car now!

if you add up what has been spent it doesn't seem to overpriced to me.

for example:

9k = car

5k=bodywork

2.5k=wheels/tyres

say...8k=engine (labor+parts)

2k=susp

2k=turbo

1.5=powerfc

that's probably not everything but it's already totalled way more than 24k

i'm in no way affiliated to the owner and that's just a rough guesstimate, i don't think it's too overpriced at all.

obviously HPI would have recieved benefits for some of the things (labour/parts) however it seems to be a pretty solid car to buy into.

Have you tried to sell an extensivly modified import in the last 12 months?

I refer to my mate having trouble selling a clean manual T67 equipped

Soarer for 12.5k, and this-

If it was rego'd perhaps it would make a little more sense.. Its still running an RB20 box I believe. Also most of the parts they have fitted aren't the more expensive brands. Though that won't matter to some.

89-90 R32 GTRs with upgraded turbos and 400rwhp+ sell for this price though, and even cheaper....

Very unique ride however :action-smiley-069:

aka timebombs :wub:

I think everyone wants something for nothing these days, seems reasonably priced to me, that RB24 would have cost a bomb to build, mates rates or not.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
