Time for a rebuild

[whatsisname]

wilco,

This might sound like an unrealistic amount to ask for a '94 model but I'm thinking ~28k neg. The car needs to be seen to understand the high price

[hippy]

i totally agree ... your car has to be the cleanest car i've ever seen ... best 33 gtst i've ever seen by far ..

[whatsisname]

Thanks mate

[Steve]

$28k isnt an unreasonable price if you look at how much it costs to mod a skyline - it all adds up.

Matt, correct me if I am wrong, but from you list of mods, you probably would have spent mid to high 30k+?

Its really is so bloody expensive when you acutally add all the costs together - depressing sometimes. Perhaps with the new raws scheme the value of a modded car will start to be appreciated a bit more - heres hoping.

hippy, I'm hurt! I keep my car very clean:(...lol

Steve, you got me thinking mate, so I sat down & did a VERY rough list of the cost to date. I was being fairly conservative with the prices too. To date there is at least 30k put into the car on top of the cost of the car itself. That doesn't include some of the work currently in progress. Sard 550cc injectors for one.

I've spent enough money on cars in the last 10yrs to build Munro's drag 33. And I'm dead serious! Kind of makes sense that my missus has had enough.

[Steve]

And then you can probably add a couple more for forgotten bits and pieces.

This is exactly why I will never sell mine, except in the most unusual circumstances - ie, I can never imagine selling it.

When I eventually buy another 'toy' down the track I'll be looking out for car like mine. Most of the good bits already done.

[Cubes]

That next 'toy' you are talking about will it be a GTR?

It's a natural progession Joel .... u dont need silly remarks like that one hehe

[hippy]

yeah steve .. ur car was nice too ... but i wasn't as shocked when i saw ur car as matts ... i couldn't beleive the condition it was in .. as if i was in an autosalon ... there was not a spec of grease to be seen ... plus the tyres i bought from u keep deflating LOL can't keep the pressure i want .. so i can't be bothered pumping them up all the time ... just means a softer ride ehehehe ... but from what u tell me about ur car ... i'd love to have a ride soon ... 300rwkw am i correct just make sure u have insurance when u give me a ride

[Steve]

the tyres may need to be refitted? They never leaked at all when they were on my car - really sorry about that.

Autosalon? Matt, what are you doing! I think its paining me more that you to see you sell:D

Insurance is paid up. hoping to head around there, but a few more weeks till the rest of the parts come from japan - then hopefully around 300.

When(IF) she blow, if not sooner if I get impatient, going 3L - or a blower, not too sure which to do first.

[hippy]

thats ok steve ... it feels much better than what i had on there previously .... i had zero tread .. LOL so it was getting slippery hehehe

[whatsisname]

Hip,

Thanks for the kind words mate

Steve,

Yeah I'm not too fussed about having to sell it at the moment. Different story when I get it back with the new motor

[Cubes]

Matt,

Curiosity, what named pistons will you be running?

[whatsisname]

CP's See here - http://www.cppistons.com/

[Steve]

thems some purdy pistons, seems a shame to hide them in an engine:) - what is the retail over here on them?

Cheers

Steve

[TIMMMAYYY]

more than you can afford pal! Ferrari

[Steve]

Hmm, well I will just have to ask for a pay rise. Us poor underpayed submariners - about time we got our due dammit!

[whatsisname]

Price I'm not 100% sure on Steve? I'll find out for you today.

They do look rather flash don't they

Update: A set of CP pistons to suit the RB25DET is $1600
