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!

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
