Not sure whether its true or not but there ya go, i think if i had the money id certainly be looking... Much rather that than a new boxster or something.

agree...

did you watch the top gear coverage on boxsters... "for the rich who hasn't quite reach there yet"

Tell him hes dreamin'

Ive always said that people who expect to get even close to their money back for modifying a car are dreamin'.

Considering its a 1 of 300 build in that colour, he would have paid a pretty penny for the car. On top of that, there is probably close to $30K in just the brakes and transmission, which would put it well over $100K already. I doubt he is asking what the car owes him. Its a rare ride indeed.

"arrogant bastard"

do you even know him?

"He probably needs that much horsepower to heave all the gauges and controllers around."

what are ya an idiot? why spend big dollars on your motor and then not buy gauges to see if its running hot/low oil pressure..etc

so what if it has a monster tacho?

all the hardcore jap drag cars have them too

the asking price is fair

with the level of mods it has and the rarity of this model

you never get your money back from mods you have to remember that

and your target market would rather build the car than buy , which they could do comfortably with that kind of budget

you have to price that accordingly

i think it would cost a lot more than the asking price to replace this car. i think its priced accordingly, the average joe (like me) could not afford it, doesnt mean i have the right to attack his price.

Corrected me if i am wrong here, i though when your talking about 800Hp Plus at wheels, Power FC wont cut it any more at that level !!...you need high end ECU's like motec, autronic, ems and the like....

Got to say It will be a nice toy for some Filthy Rich Kid......The kind that buys POsh 911 and gives it to Gambala /9ff or Merc to Brabus....

Well....can always Dream :yes:

:yes:

name callin hurts my feelings... calm down big guy, no need to flex your muscles around here.

the car isn't for sale in here anyway otherwise it would be in the "for sale" area not in the "talkin shit" area... and judging by the thread title I don't think this thread was started in the hope of selling it in this forum... have a coke and a smile... please

and for the record that dash mounted screen displays quite a few different things and the GTR's I have seen have a oil pressure gauge in the cluster, and all cars I have seen have a temp gauge also in the cluster

It's not my call to make, but I would recomend to be friendly on here or don't post

yeah he's right. no more discussions on this car please unless u do have $150k

Dan, if this thread isn't for posting our opinions on and it is a thread for selling this car, shouldn't it be moved to the "for sale" area? I dun wanna bitch but this thread to me look likes its for posting opinions... I am sure if some one is reading this tread and is genuinely interested (and has the green to be serious)... they will contact the seller.

rant over

peace

yeah i was being sarcastic

Yer i dont think they got it.

Id say teh majority of people who actually mod their card if they added up all the receipts would have spent almost the purchase price of their cars again (going on that most ppl have 33s) yet they are lucky if they sell them 2 years later for the original purchase price.

Hey im not saying it doesnt look very nice i just dont think its worth $150k for a 7 year old car. Maybe if he provided a list of mods i might be proven wrong :yes:

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
