Hey i was actually looking at that and at the 360 and 430's damelian has there for sale. The story the salesman gave me is the car was bought for a brat kids 21st birthday prez, it has a nismo exhaust as the only extra i could notice when i took it for a test. Aparently he brought it to damelian and traded it for a Red modena convirtible.....

fresh car, should be cheaper though

The former owner was 21?

Without casting aspersions on a 21 yr old... If I was a buyer, I'd want to check on 'faults/launches' on Nissan's computers + confirm that the warranty is intact.

I know that the advert mentions 'balance of wty' but I know of stories of cars sold at R.D.

You may or may not haggle on a car that's virtually new - but if you intend to haggle, you've got 5 days to do it 'n turn the screws whilst their minds are distracted by monthly figures.

Hope that helps a little bit Kev.

thats why i said it should be cheaper, because i know if i was given an r35 for a 21st bday prez and i didn't earn it myself, those 5000km on the odometer would all be launch control km's.

Also RD doesn't negotiate that much with his prestige unless its extreme circumstances...

i took it for a drive yesterday, and i took a modena for a drive aswell, against all my instinct telling me the r35 is better value, faster, smoother, more reliable, cheaper.... the looks are personal preference but i like the modena better but thats my opinion, ferrari had a way better sound from its stock exhaust than the r35 had with a nismo exhaust. At the end of the day it wasn't a rational decision, I had my heart set on a modena from the beginning.

Apparently the salesman said with LC it does 0-100 in 2.8 seconds and it did it in 3.4 seconds standard, the salesman had me convinced the gtr was the car i wanted untill he started telling me those LC times that suggest those 5000km on it were as i suspected last week are very hard km's. I opted away from it and decided on the modena, no i dont track my cars much, no i wasn't looking for a daily driver, i was looking for basically a sunday pride and joy, the GTR is still on the table, but maybe later on in my life or if a better one at a good price comes by.

Anyway here is the pic of both the cars in question

It's not a nismo exhaust, not sure where you got that idea. Nismo only make one exhaust for the GT-R and it's the same as the SpecV item. I.e. oval single tip split in two per side. It's over 20k for the nismo cat back.

The exhaust fitted to this white car is just some aftermarket cat back.

it says nismo on the end of the pipes....

i dunno what there meant to look like, but i read "NISMO" on it....

and it doesnt matter if its $20k for the nismo one, the kid got it for a 21st and traded it in later for a much more expensive F430 ferrari, so money isnt a prob for them....

Congrats, did you go ahead with the sale?

A mate has one (black 360 f1) for sale in Victoria, Aust delivered similar ks as the one at Rick D's.

Thanks dude, yeah got it, its an absolute dream to drive, i'm more surprised about how comfortable the suspension is on bumpy roads...

yeah i might have been talking to your mate on the exotic forums, his online name is richie or something, if this car fell through i was considering going to melb to look at his.

Oh and the update, the R35 in question has a deposit taken on it, dont know if its legit or not but thats what it said this arvo

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
