hey kareem

if i were you i would be crazy not to take 75 and 70k for it

there is one for sale putting out 1000hp and it hasnt even sold yet and he wants the same $$$ as you are asking. so if you got offered that kind of money for a car at the end of the day worth max 50-60k imo, u should SELL IT!

Stunning car Kareem.

But Mark has a point. Carl has had his completely built twin turbo coupe for sale for months now and is not getting the money he wants.

I think the HKS car which is thousands cheaper is also still for sale.

There's a 32 GTR for sale which probably has had the same attention to detail as your car has that's been trying to sell for somewhere in the 50's for almost a year and is now down to mid 30's and still for sale.

It's a tough market mate, but good luck with it buddy.

Personally i would tough it out for a while, you never know some multi might have nothing better to do with his cash and really likes the colour :-). It's happened before.

rules of mods, you will never get it (your money) back.

bought my r33 for $23k, spent close to $15k modifying it from 250hp to about 360hp very fast street sleeper.

sold it for $10k with all the mods!

you should have taken the $75k - better than nothing.

you'd be very lucky if anyone offer you more than 1/3rd of what you spend (130k) = more than 40k

as modified cars are not everyone's taste plus only the real petrolhead enthusiast would dare to take a risk buying a modded one.

if you can be bothered taking off your mods, i suggest do so, sell the car as close to stock as possible then sell the mod parts separately.

you might end up come on top, if not, then at least you get some cash flow moving, rather than a stagnant sitting in your garage.

Lovely ride and well worth the money if a buyer wants to pay for it...

however as a few have said before you will not get the money you've spent on a car. You can barely do that with property and that is considered an investment. You still have to get it right though.

Unfortunately Cars are generally (a few exceptions) not a place to invest cash.

Good luck though.

Incidentially, how many k's on purchase, start of mods and how many after mods? Total k's now?

Is it engineered?

LOL i bought a V35 cus I was over spending heaps of $$$$ modding cars, in particular my old 180sx which pumped out 308rwkw

Its sad but as others have said you will never get anywhere what you spent on the car back I know this personaly from when I sold my 180, In a way this used to be good for us untill the government changed the import laws and brought in SEVS. You used to be able to import a car from japan that was modded off its tits for a bargin price without having to strip it down to stock, ah the good old days well for some of us.

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
