Thats due to the level of modification, i am just demonstrating what the original purchaser may have paid for such a car. You also have to consider the costs in compliancing (old scheme), etc.

Please do not mis-read my intentions Jet.

It is a great car, and i am seriously considering buying it. But for a realistical agreed price (once it has been checked and cleared).

If the car has not been sold by mid Nov. i will get in touch with you. At the moment i am just too busy.

What type of handling mods goes the car have? ie: brakes, suspension, etc.

u can buy that car if u want, but u cant road register it or drive it so wots the point....its only allowed to be used for racing

and even then u still need a level 3 cams...good luck getting one of them

its similar to mine, but not the same

and 21k? i think thats the typo

im sellin mine for around mid 30s, uve spend 30k on yours already and look at the difference......enuff said

i know what was paid originally al, but ya kidding if u think u can ever get 1 like that, for those prices, unless u have real connections

im not even really trying to sell it, i lov the car to death, every time i put my foot down i just go WOW! but ive put it out on the market cos if i get a good offer i will take it...simple as that, cos there r some other things i want to do, dirtbikes etc etc, but either way im a happy man

i just read ya link about the car "like mine" properley

its nothin like mine, its NO WAY near as modified, the mods list is not even close to mine, add to that, that car is almost 31k, then u gotta pay to return that entire car to stock b4 bringin it in, then add to that u cant road register it or even race it without a level 3 cams....makes mine look a whole lot better...thanks! haha

they dont mention wot ecu, wot injectors,wot clutch, or even gearbox...cant be too impressive when they list things such as gearknobs and pedals over thos crucial parts

as for returning the car to stock, ignoring all the garage time needed along with finding all the stock parts and the $$$, then uve also gotta get an rb25 for it and fit it etc etc etc (plus it says it cant be done udner SEVS so this car is basically unimportable)

and if it was possible, ud b lookin at 40k+ EASY 2 have a car u cant use at all

ps mines my daily driver right now :):D:D

u can buy that car if u want, but u cant road register it or drive it so wots the point....its only allowed to be used for racing

just bring her in... engine and everything goes out and into your car.. throw shell away.. its worth $26k in parts over here easy.. i can see that is going to be happening a bit.

Anyway, i don't know how this turned into a "hack onto Jet" thread.. its his car (and a great one at that!) and he can sell it for whatever he likes. And he's right, tell me you can find any similarly modded car anywhere around that is road registered, etc under the new import scheme. Its just not possible, so therefore his car is probably worth more than when it was brought in.

Sorry Jet, i didn't realise how easily my comments could be mis-interpruted (sp?).

I said i will NOT make a stupid offer like $21k for such a well moded car. At the same time i will not pay $40k+ for a R33 gtst, no matter what the mods.

I will also not make any offer over the net, some things are best done in person and once things have been checked out properly.

Yes that car was race use only and would cost more to import as street use. But i personally disagree with you about the level of modification, as things such as injectors, ecu, etc. go without saying.

If you feel as though i have been bagging the car, i haven't. In fact in a few posts i have acknowledge how good the car is. The only thing i have questioned was the post where you started talking about the $40k price tag.

I do acknowledge that to get my car to the level of modification as yours would cost me much more, that is the sole reason why i am considering this option. But i am not too fussed either as i will be extremely happy to make my car produce 250-270rwkw, and all i need to acheive this is the turbo and fuel system.

So i wish you every bit of luck with the car and hope that i have not lost a friend, as my intension was not to bag/hack you.

    • This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).
    • Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?
    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.
