post-9261-1182214790_thumb.jpgG'day guys....

I was thinking about putting my old 95 GTST front bar and 'louvre' grill on ebay, as I now have a Trust bar on my car.

It is complete (indicator lenses, globe holders) and in good condition, even if it wasn't re-sprayed.

Guys, I'm just wondering what I could (should) be asking for it....

thankyoooooooo....

man, you always ask us for advice, for things we cannot advise you on,

how much is it worth to you? think about that, come up with a price that you want, and advertise it!

remember, an item is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. look around in the for sale section, guage your price on that, use the search function. i don't really see how this is relevant to the section.

I always ask for advice on things you can't advise on?????.....um....no....I think you've got the wrong 'member' Mr Eps!!! :laughing-smiley-014:

I've exhausted all avenues prior to selling this bar, and this forum has helped me a lot with my current selection.

So there it is...

I understand your point on 'willing to pay for it', but please, there is no need to be so troublesome...hehehe. :sorcerer:

anyway,

Thankyou and regards,

Superspit.

ah ha!.....now I understand YOUR mis-understanding..... :laughing-smiley-014:

that wasn't me bro!!.... :D

though i did enjoy reading that topic...it was funny...I wonder if that guy was actually just having a lend??? :D

Still, even though you are totally incorrect on what you wrote, (5 cent a week?) and thus your joke didn't work, I will thank you sincerely for your time!..and your suggestion on a forum sale.

ahhhh....I love this place! :laughing-smiley-014:

Kindest Regards,

Superspit.

How'd you get the nick spit/superspit?

Hi T33,

it was from the Supermarine Spitfire aircraft of WW2. (abbrev)

It's my favourite thing in the whole wide world!...other than my daughters and my car and my '69 Fender Telecaster.

And...I can spit really far, further than most spitting things.

And, thankyou for asking.

Spit.

try calling auto spares places and ask them how much it will cost to buy the parts your selling. this place wanted me to swap my S1 M-spec frontand give them $250 for a S2 front bar with a dent and without rio, then told me that my M-SPEC front bar was rare and he'd sell it for $600 (what a d!ckhe@d's)so what ever there lowest swap price is i'd sell it for that? just an idea.

Good luck mate,

Aif

New retail from nissan is $800 .. so $300 reserve I rekon

Are you serious?

I'm gunna have to check that at work tomorrow.....

That seems excessively high when a Pajero bar is 3 times the size and only costs about $800-900. Although that could be a trade price.......

I'd say somewhere around 200-300 for a good condition second hand stock bar.

you also have to consider the fact that your nissan fb is plastic whereas a lot of the aftermarket ones are fibreglass copies. therefore i rekon you should atleast ask a price equal to that of the aftermarket bars

      Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable

      RB25DET Neo Rebuild

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.

      R33 GTST Sh*tbox to Polished T*rd

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back.

      Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
