want...might have to ebay a kidney.

Actually, i saw that on ebay last year or earlier this year, so id say its been for sale for a while. A bit like that n1 shell that pops up for sale every so often.

Yes been for sale for over a year, they dont seem to want to drop the price so may sit around for some time to come... Maybe Terry will snap it up if they drop the price for a track car :)

These old bones of mine aren't getting any younger > so "sitting" and "waiting" are dirty words around this house.

L'il Enzo doesn't have any spare stem cells does he? hehe...

I've been thinking of fatz' (er Jenna's) car actually; so you read my mind Brian.

$148,250 is justification to insure your own R34 GTR for a similar amount when it comes time to renewing your policy.

Sure, but the level of modification and history of the car obviously varies, and with that the value.

Depends on what kind of premium you want to pay- I never really understood the need to get the most insured value you can, because it just increases your premium. I understand being under insured insured is not good, however to pay more to the insurance company (for something that realistically to them carries very little risk) seems odd.

The point has been missed.

The Sum Insured can go quite high without the premium going up proportionately.

The insurance company actuary can look at premiums going up from his angle but...

when the amount of cover (sum insured) goes up at a much higher rate than the premium, it's worth it.

It's worth it even to a person who doesn't even nominate this type of car as his business car.

But it's worth it even more, when it is...

I've just changed my insurer (to Dawes); but even in the past year, with Lumleys-SV, my Sum Insured was $106,000 and the Premium including ancillary costs was less than $1,100. Now at this time, I'm prepared to pay a bit more than that for a rare car that's worth a whole lot more.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
