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

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
