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

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
