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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
