When I get off defect I am going to sell my car, get a motorbike, then contemplate the car I will buy next. Its police that make enthusiasts regret buying the cars they love. f**k them anyway.

as long as u dont have any regrets in selling the car go for it.....just make sure u think it through bro.....my car is pretty much stocko and it still goes well....

Mine looks 100% stock; even the exhaust is hard to pick yet it still goes ok. /edit better not really say that. :P

If I were to do it again I'd buy something with mods already done. Its so damn expensive to do it from scratch..

Selling modded cars you get bugger all because people thing oh no they are thrashed.. yet really.. the bits that get thrashes are so cheaply replaced in the grand scheme of things.

As long as the body, paint and interior are good.. who cares. :)

Owning mine since 2001 and never being slapped with a defect I must admit I do feel my time is running out. Good thing I have a spare motor sitting here lol :D

Sorry for spamming Ash. consider it a free bump lol.

hmm...iv got a 30E sitting here with a head to go on it, just hasnt been rebuilt. Still need a box tho and the tailshaft modded etc.

if i sold my head for about a grand, the engine for 100, that would mean id need 6g odd for u.

in the scheme of things tho, 1.5g for the box, 1.8g for the turbo, 300 for the mods to tail shaft etc, 1 odd g for the pfc, 1 odd g for the rebuilding, 300 for the afm, 1g for the clutch....

pretty DAMN good deal if u ask me. Just such a pitty im lacking the money atm. at most id have like 2-3g fresh money after i sell the engine. Little cheaper and id almost definately get it with a bit of messing round.

and then there's all the little hidden costs that people don't allow for, can't think of them all at the moment but here's a few for example:

modded engine mounts

valve springs

modded exhaust

modded cooler piping

new water pump

speedo mod for 25 box

oil/water lines for turbo

as you can see it all adds up quickly.

with this package there is basically nothing left to do but shove her in the engine bay.

He'd be the one crying, when you can get a 2J on special atm at Jap Import Spares for $2.5k..........

Still cant believe this hasnt sold to a RB nut!!

haha, good one!

no rush Darren, have 3 people pretty keen on it, just waiting til after tax time!

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
