Sick car man if i recall there was one just like this or this one for sale a while back almost a year ago i almost brought it man i love silver 260z's but i ended up buy a old one and im restoring it now seeing your car makes me want to do it silver sick car man looks hot as!

yeh man that was me and it's the same car. I had a buyer for $11K back then but I pulled out the last minute.

since then it's had a new paint job and another motor and it's fresher than before hence prices has gone up.

G'luck with yours.............their quite addictive.

Dunno, but my mate just checked through the for sale lists and japan and the last one was sold for 6mill yen :rant:

hahahhaha $85K?

um mines not that perfect.........though if i knew i can get that sort of price I can get it 'that' perfect.............hehehhee.

Should've checked before you sold it :D Whoever bought it has a nugget!

wasn't even in the relms of possibilities for me...............still quite content with the price it sold.

only regret is the driving experience these things give when their well sorted.

I've seen what comes out of jp and their all 100% original...........my one is far from it.

thanks for the tip though..........as I'm sure i'll buy another in the future.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
