14K's pretty rich huh! That's more that both of my K's combined!

That is 240Z/260Z territory. I would love a 240K coupe as well but for $14k it would need to be an immaculate GTR replica (and a manual!) for that money.

cheers

So you want an immac GTR replica for 14k, AND your asking 20k odd for a stock Iron Mask coupe :blink:

Alfadog sold his 240k GTR replica for $12k. Remember it is still a replica at the end of the day.

I was offered $20k for the DR30 18 months ago and I knocked it back. That was after 2 other offers of $15k and $17k at the Skylines show and shine in 2007. It won best classic and people who actually SEE the car are blown away by it. I appreciate that I wont get $20k for it in this market and I dont really care if no one gives me the money I would need for me to part with it. I love the car and would only sell it for something else as rare such as an Aussie delivered GTR.

Yeah I am probably a dreamer but I dont have to sell. It is only what the market will pay. Maybe my car is only worth $2 grand. The guy selling the 240k obviously has a price in mind and if it doesnt sell so be it. I must admit I am quite amused by the interest the 240k is getting!

cheers

Actually a closer look has revealed that the (first time) ebayer has a reserve! Maybe he's expecting a bidding war. However, I don't think you really can compare this one (body good, paint faded, everything works) to Alfadog's lovely GTR clone 240k.

I still think the price rise to get a DR30 from the mother land has not nearly effected their worth here as much as owners have hoped.... 20k. I would have taken the money and ran!!

Must admit I am one to jump on the 240k bandwagon :P Would love a 4 door

I was umming and ahhing at the time. The thing is, when I dont drive it I think I want another car. I take it for a spin around the block and I am in love again he he. :) Looks like I will be keeping it! :)

I have always had a soft spot for 240k's. Dad had a gorgeous blue 4 door and I had a jaffa orange C210 coupe for a little while. I saw a white 240k 4 dppr on Carpoint last week (yes it has sold) that was a one owner 19000 original km car for....wait for it....$4000! Needless to say it was gone before I could get to the phone!

cheers

No bids! Reserve not met! What the hell! I know... I'll relist it at $13,500, with a reserve of $15,000 and a buy it now of $16,800.

The four door that I mentioned before is owned by an old guy who lives in Geelong. He called me and offered to sell, but Im on my best behavior till the credit card has been paid off. He also has an... optimistic view of what the cars are worth, but not quite as ridiculous as our ebaying friend.

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
