I'll put this out there now: whomever may be so lucky to command ownership of Twoogle better look after her, or else I'll be comin' for ya! Twoogle is the only other GT-R I hold dear to my heart, so the new owner better love her at least as much as I do, LOL!(Do I sound like a stalker, or what???)

Have you got any current pics of the car?

Car has travelled about 50klms since it was on the cover of HPI (the last pic i put up) so it looks no different...under the hood is a little different.

The changes since the article are...

New HKS T51R SPL BB turbo kit (modified to new HKS T62 spec compressor rated at 1150hp) all ceramic coated with high temp black on turbine and manifold. Cerami-chrome on compressor cover.

New HKS GT-II 60mm external wastegate.

New Earls braided oil and water lines.

New CES 5 inch stainless dump pipe and wastegate pipe both coated in high temp black.

New PPG fully optioned billet straight cut dogbox.

New NPC race twin plate clutch with billet flywheel.

New Nismo 2 way rear diff.

New modified transfer case done by Award Diff and Gearbox.

New fully optioned Vi-PEC V88 ecu with 7 bar map sensor and plug-in adaptor.

Thats over $25000 dollars worth!!!

This is not some tired old clapped out racecar, its been maintained to a world class standard and has a fresh engine and driveline. It will have the potential to be an 8 second car when ran at the strip with over 900hp at the tyres when ran-in and tuned.

Due to the last deal on the car being a dead end its still available.

This car IS a bargain and i cannot believe ive still got it.

Does anyone have anywhere near asking price that is keen to put in a serious offer?

Start a business and lease the car for trackdays or something?

1k a day, wouldnt take too long to recover your investment.

Ide pay a grand to drive this for the day at a track, can you find 54 other people?

gee that brings back some memories...

car still on the market but full price still. (it will take that for me to part with it)

here's the latest shot

thats not such a bad idea really... i paid $500 for a half day rally school... in which i got to drive an 4ac powered ae86... twice, for 5 min, and an 02 sti.. twice, for 5 min... there were 15 other gits who did the exact same thing.. then there was another "class" coming through that afternoon... to do the same thing. 30 x 500 = $15000... in one day.

whether you are able to get races or not paul... you cannot sell this car.. you will regret it.. you have spent too much time and put in too much effort to sell it.. like you say, the recent additions alone have cost you $25000, so how long will it take you to have the money to buy the car off you.. so to speak? put it aside, put a car cover over it, forget its there until the bub grows up... the car is done now.. you dont have to spend anymore money on it... it will not cost you anything to keep it, whether its driven or not.. you'll never be able to get it back again, or build another like it (unless you really hate money)

cheers

Just the cost of the quality aftermarket parts alone would be worth more than the purchase price of the whole car, let alone the time and energy invested in putting everything together! If I only had more an extra garage space for this.....

Good luck with the sale!

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
