Haha, fresh battery just put in :thumbsup: Stock airbox has been put back on (as the pod didnt seem to do anything). Also just put in some White Led parkers, look the goods :banana:

Manual conversions arnt too expensive :whistling: One was on ebay recently for 500, full kit, box, pedals the works. If I had the money I would have bought it but since I am currently going to Uni I no longer have money to put into this car.

mate the reason this hasnt sold yet is because

1. its AUTO

2. NON turbo

3. 4 door

3 reasons most beople DO NOT buy and import, you have a rare few who want that but mate you may aswell keep yor car because the only people who will pay 7k for a 4 door non turbo auto are brain dead mules

these sell for 3-4 k now

your never going to get 7k for it, just keep it and in 2 years turbo it chuck a 5 speed in it, and you'll love it then

btw i couldnt sell my 2 door turbo with 12k in parts in it for 8k,a

Ive had offers of 5500, the fact its N/a opens it up for p-platers who dont want a little buzz box but dont want a falcodoor.

4 door just means less hastle of getting people in and out of it (as a teenager your gana have alot of people getting in and out).

The auto is the main issue everyone seems to have with it. If i had the money and time id convert it to a 5 speed but i am strapped for funds and time going to uni.

Also these days alot of teenagers dont seem to get there manual license as most parents seem to be going for new cars that are auto as a family daily. So really its a good car for the market, or as you put it rare few, that it will appeal to.

I guess its each to there own as to what people think its worth, im just putting on what id be happy to let it go for and think its worth. There isnt too many P-plate legal 32's around and I am always getting complements on it.

It is a nice example you are correct!

However it's been for sale for six months?

I assure you if it was worth it it would have sold, it just looks like the price of skylines has dropped again with 33GTR's selling for under 20k now

I ended up keeping my 32, it just wasn't worth giving away to me. And you are most def right about the manual bit, just change it bro

300 for a box, couple hundred for ecu and manual bits, some elbow grease and it will sell

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
