Its a nce car, but not worth that kind of money IMO.

I think rb26zed was correct with the typo theory.

No mods to back up the price either, just maintenance items that are normally worn out by now.

Full reco motor...............................................maintenance item if worn out

New Battery...................................................maintenance item

New altinator..................................................maintenance item

new Leads.....................................................maintenance item

new clutch master cylinder..............................maintenance item

bran new 16x8 XXR rims and tyres

full exsust system with extractore...................maintenance item, exhaust that is.

new double carbs weber

Big sound system............................................Limited value

full alarm with central lockin............................no resale value in this item.

full dino tune with 110kw.................................maintenance item, tune up.

new shock absorbers...................................................maintenance/safety item

That leaves the wheels, carbs and stereo, coz if the rest ot these items were not replaced the car would be not only unroadworthy in some cases, but it would be an almost undriveable/very ordinary car mechanically.

I only see about $2500 in non essential repairs, not $25000

So, what is a nice example of one of these worth? $5000? More? Less? It i only worth whatever someone is prepared to pay, no more, no less, so if someone was prepared to pay $15000 I would be quite happy coz that would make m R32 GTR worth about $45,000! (it isnt worth that)

It would reinforce the theory that a sucker is born every minute.

Lol Ghostrider, I was going to suggest that but thought it was a little harsh. But It's probably more accurate.

Honestly if I bought it the 1st things to go on ebay would be the wheels, tail lights, webers and stereo. So they aren't really of much value. It's a nice clean stock example, nothing more. Colour is ugly so needs a paintjob too, so I can see $4000 to someone who is after a stock c210 coupe and nothing else.

But to a non-enthusiest $2500 tops.

I wonder if he purchased those tail lights for 1200, maybe with the GTR badge makes them more sought after. Is the dino he speaks of, a type of prehistoric dyno the flinstones used,110 yabbadabbadoos. Just thought it was my turn to have a little dig. LOL. Would be a good buy at no more than $4500. Is the interior fawn or black?

Hey Socrates, I hope that cruise isn't on the 27th March as I'm going to Jimmy Barnes that day.

Well!

Ummmmm, I just got back from Melbourne last night and I can tell you all something is for sure.

The C210 of Mario's (hgc210) is certainly one very nice vehicle in the flesh. Unfortunately it isn't strictly JDM original as it sits today, but still a very fine example all the same.

His latest venture will certainly have his hands full and it will be interesting to see it as it progresses.

Back on track, I really think this guy is dreaming and from what I see in the pictures, the so called Webbers do nothing for me being downdraft with adapters, the GTR badges are just posey poxy things on an Oz delivered car, but I guess we shouldn't expect anything less coming from Minchinbury.

Cheers, D

Thanks mate..it was good to see you to ...next time..okay...

honestly there is only a few JDM cars here, apart from mine over the years i have only known 6 maybe 7, the vin nos; give them away..

as for this car, look.. its over priced for sure...and having a real close look i can see so much that needs doing, dressing up the car as he has

this way, certainly wont justify the price...lipstck on a granny doesnt make her look like taylor swift...

stick to the car as it is..im sure if he left it original, he would of had more takers...and put a more realistic price tag..

my latest project...im loosing my hair over it...it stopped going grey....ill look like Kojak within months pinch.gif

Cheers to all

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
