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.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
