It's in no shape to be sold for a parts car. A friend of mine was investigating buying this before it went on ebay but everything is wrong with it. I would not be surprised to find a large hole in the bottom end of the engine and a cracked transmission housing.

Interesting to see the price he's asking for the motor. Does anyone have an actual figure for a replacment motor from Nissan? (actual figure, dont just post up if you're guessing)

In the region of 4.5 million Yen.

Every single rim is bent, all the rotors need new disks and who knows if the calipers and hats are salvagable. At least one is probably not. The suspension is completely gone.

mm wodnering what happen to that car, did it ran off a cliff and burst into flames or something...

I'm sure it's not the 1st and it won't be the last. These things generate speed so effortlessly and I'm sure there are going to be plenty of owners who have no idea about cars but think the car will do it all for them.

My first thoughts when driving one was - plenty of people will hurt themselves in one of these!

My thoughts exactly, old rich poofs that can barely park let alone drive a lethal car like this....

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
