mmmm yes still dream to one day respray the 350z in that colour. I'll join the throng of those of us that cant afford it and will pick holes in it - monster tacho ugh - leave that to the commie dudes that need to be told when to change, white knob gear is a bit poofterish and theres way too many gauges tacked on randomly. But can't fault it from the outside drool!

$150K ..... as we say at work "have you ever seen the movie the castle?"

I had a good look at this car when autowholesale had it and the car had major amounts of modifications all over , including a built motor. It was originally a fair whack cheaper from memory, sold off as a major bargain. The car may well be worth $150k to someone given the extras it has.

It's the R34 GTR market boys not the R32 gtst bunky end of town afterall.

Yeah but even if it hits 130k it's still a bargain. The car would cost about 70'000 at the cheapest. (Remembering the colour/V spec II) and then you have the brakes which would cost about 15k, suspension im guessing is at least 10k, the motor would need 25k in parts to handle the 800HP and then you got all the bolt on stuff like the T88 uleh. Gearbox would cost 15k at the least. Diffs etc. For 150 you couldn't build an R34 GTR like this.

haha datto i work in the car business ...... most people know you can pour your life savings into a car but that doesnt mean your going to get that money back for it - cars arent an investment.

A car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it :P

first of all, there is no way u could reproduce this car for the money he is asking... if u think u can u have no idea. NO IDEA AT ALL

second, i would have that many gauges... they are all important for engine vitals

the gearknob comes with the 6 speed sequential box you idiot, it probably costs more than your entire car

dont get me wrong im a hater of monster tachos but with a car that would pick up revs like this thing its probably actually a very sensible solution rather than just rice.

lol says the 350z owner. your f**ked on resale then haha

ok retype cos that probably sound worse:

Lovely car - never said it wasnt and no i wouldnt say no if someone offered it to me and although its a lovely car im not jealous. This is my reasoning: my car i bought a year old at wholesale price for $10K less than what they were going to put it on the yard for and $30K less than what they were new .... some other person got f*ked on resale :( So i could make approximately $10K profit on it tomorrow if i wanted .... but its my dream car and i love it :pwned: and for me a car is more than $$$'s if i wanted an investment i'd buy a house.

So i guess what im trying to say is if its common knowledge he paid less for it and he's trying to sell it for $150k he's not likely to get it. Sure it may have $150K worth of gear in it etc .... but unfortunately that doesnt mean much if someones not willing to pay that amount for it. But good luck to him i hope the new owner treats it well :O

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove 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?
