and honda rock :rofl:

so hpi is out already...hmmm, i been waitin ages for it to b in there

is the 900hp gtr leewahs? or did they do me ova with some1 elses gtr?

Better loose that "cheap wine" piccy if your looking at a V8 ute, hahahaha :D

if i didnt i would buy a 33... but 40k for a 12sec GTST... rather spend 25k on a GTR and then mod it (not a hell of a lot needed) to get a 12sec pass.

but then again im not really a huge fan of the qtr mile... i like to drive a car... i like corners... theres a reason the GTR is king.

Jet, there might be 40k's worth of mods put into it, but the car is not worth 40k.

i.e. My car owes me about low 30's, but if i was to sell it i will be lucky to get low-mid 20's. (Just thinking wtf took the price to the 30 mark when i bought it for $18,500 std, but i have all receipts.)

Not being a smartass, just telling it how it is.

This is true. The JMS R33, which is worked ALLLLLLL over is for sale for 40k, and hasnt sold...

Its all a part of the import scene. Mods are really worth nothing in the end... I think if you splash 10k+ on mods, you may as well hold onto it, unless you get a silly high offer

Bout time you came on here again jet! Hope things are all good :P

yeh things r good smooth, u?

i want 35k for mine to really let go of it, and as 4 my car havin cost 40k...ya dreamin, there is no possible way my car cost 40k all up, ya prob lookin at 40k just for the parts and work time, plus the car value

the only reason u said that al is cos u want to buy the car :Owned:

the reason most cars dont get money back on mods is cos they r usual very basic mods...u could easily spend 10k on a stock 33 and itl get ya wheels, bodykit, zorst and maybe a fmic, but then if u do all the little things like turbo timers, bov, pods etc, u can spend 10k without even blinking, and we all know, when u look to buy a car, these things are basically "standard mods"

sure, there is no way u will ever recoupe all money spent on mods, no chance, but basic mods will basically get u nothing back, big mods that cost real $$$ like turbos, internals, rebuilds and engines..these things do come across better as they make real power and make the car a lot stronger

well business is business man, life is life, u get wot u can, u dont sell sumfin for nothing just because u were smart enuff to get a good deal...wouldnt u agree????

thats how business works...

if some1 sold u a brand new mirr, would u sell it 4 20k? or if u say a beamer 4 sale for 10k, brand new, wouldnt u say to yaself, i'l buy and sell it???

Yes i am considering buying the car, but when you started talking about 40k this 40k that, i couldn't help but laugh :).

Actually Jet this is why i said what i said: look here. So who is :Owned: now? :shake:.

Your car was bought under similar circumstances and has been "WELL USED" to it's full potential since it has been landed. Which i have no proplem with as the extensive mods can handle the strain.

I am the type of person that would get the car fully checked by myself and my mechanic b4 placing an offical offer. But needless to say i would not offer $21,000 for such a extensively modified. car.

No deniying (sp?) the car has the goods, but the overall condition is unknown to me.

    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
