hey, it's not all about pulling chicks with the car. really good looking guys with massiver wangers like me don't even need a car to pull chicks... lol

I honestly can see their price. they would have spent a lot of dough on it. but sadly the market dictates they will probably do well to get $60 or $70K for it.

what I thought was far crazier was the veilside oil cap for $350!!!! a little bit of creative licence in that advert I think.

How often does this thing break down while doing track work?

If I remember correctly it DNF'ed at an Auto Salon event, and I remember the car running over 2 minutes on Oran Park South (its a sub minute lap) a while ago because it was having mechanical issues. Never heard of it doing track work aside from at those events, so I am quite curious to know....

Seems like a lot of money to spent on a cobbled-together modified performance car that can't seem to handle being used in a performance environment.

Did you guys notice the other car they have for sale? the yellow Mount Vincent estate R33 GTR race car. I personally have seen it getting built at pmc. honestly its worth every 65000 dollars they are asking for. fully striped tig welded chassis and afaik its a genuine GTR if not a vspec.

A year or so ago..I saw a GTR34V Spec...silver..custom everything..I mean everything.

I put on my glasses when the bonnet was opened..it had..listen to this 800kws(flywheel)..lol

This was micky mouse..trust me on this..clean with at least 40K bolt ons..let alone engine work.

Asking price was $90K.

In comparison I cannot see why it could be this price...

As Beer Baron has stated..the market dictates the price...not just the seller.

I would fell sorry for the guy/gurl who purchases this at that price.....but then again,

they are praying for the saying to be true.

Unless they were half cuts and/or crash leftovers - what could a GTS4 and an R32 GTR give a '97 V spec GTr to the point that you need another whole car to do it?? I honestly can't see why you would want all three cars. Any one of these cars would have been enough for a base to work from!!!

I mean we ain't talking swapping waterlines or decals here, you don't need whole cars for that - so I'm thinking the whole thing is a rebirth. Buy in three write offs and make one good unit?

And as everyone says 120K is way too much - but no matter how many laws are made, you can't protect a fool from loosing their $$$$.

at the end of the day its a gts with gtr running gear so that makes it worth? ummmmmm 2 cents to me because its not a genuine gtr a fool and their money are soon parted.

modifying a car does NOT add the value of those parts and labour to the car @ sale time .

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
