That car shell is missing so many pieces the profit margin would be slim at best, the pictures still show it with a million more pieces than it has. If you want to make a quick $25K there are better/easier ways. The only thing GTR about it is the VIN number. It would be that much of a bastard to rebuild you'd need literally another complete GTR to scab bits off, only good if you've picked up something in Japan that can't be complied and you bring it over as the donor car.....even then I can imagine Mr Angle grinder would come out and the chassis numbers would mysteriously swap....presto complied

Exactly

Why would someone strip a $60K car?

If the previous damage was that badly repaired before, and you need to recify it, you surely could not make any money tring to rebuild it for profit

maybe it was stripped to be rebuilt to a racecar with a full cage and seam welding....

How can you not make a profit when it costs roughly up to $20k to buy a full motor, box, loom, dash, brakes, wheels etc. It isnt that hard for someone who has the money and time... The hardest part of compliancing is already done.

The car will have a Damage history from this already. you wont get anything near 60k.

Maybe 50k. If its brought back to exact original.

$20k to bring back to original?

Where do you get your parts from?

Engine - V-SpecII 6k+

Gearbox 4-5K

Complete Driveline....$$$

Interior? $3-4K+

All Panels, Bumpers, Wing, Diffuser.

Can only dream. Too much.

mate i can get a 34R motor for $3.5k, box for $1,500 diffuser for $300, i think YOU are searching in the wrong spots mate, A whole front half cut with loom, steering column/rack, motor, box, headlights, bonnet, fenders dash for $9k!!! I have been messing with GTRs for a very very long time, had my own workshop, new part suppliers and ex race part suppliers. So, i dont think i have a unreasonable understanding of what it costs. You can get things cheaper off Zac at slidewize already without having to do any real searching. Sorry mate...

The car has no damage history... So i dont have a clue what you are on about, it is not a write off or stat write off.

closed. I told you twice that we don't do "please see my ebay auction ad", I asked you nicely to fix your ad to meet the rules. you didn't.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
