its good to see that your firm with your price!

i'd hold onto it if i were in your position :(

hey marko

Mate after all the hard work put in to this car i couldn't let it go for a cheap price .As far as i am concerned people that spend big bucks on 32's, 33's and 34's or any car in general and sell them off for peanuts are either desperate or just like prostituting the market .So that's why i am sticking to my guns mate some one will buy it for the price i am asking and respect that when they see and drive the car .. if not it stays with me.

good luck with yours

Anthony

I'm on my 3rd import, and I've learnt a valuable lesson from the first two. Modifications add very little to the value of your car. I spent the purchase price in mods again on my first two, not a cent on my 3rd.

I have lost more money than I care to remember on my first 2 imports. When I played with Yank muscle and Oz muscle I made money on every car I ever owned, this is foreign to me.

Anybody undertaking modifying an Import needs to be prepared to take it up the ass at sale time. I wish it wasnt so, because I would be driving an R35 right now if I got back what I spent, easily. My first 2 imports easily soaked up over $150,000 from 2001 till 2008, all I have to show for it is an R34 GTR and some spare parts.

I would love to be able to get back the price I spent, then I wouldnt have to keep my R34 stock.

Were not prostitutes because we sell our cars beneath the price we have spent on it, we are realists. A car is only worth what somebody is prepared to pay. Hopefully somebody will pay what you want....................eventually.

Good luck buddy, as I've said before, your car is a gem, just keep it.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
