Hi all.

I have no idea if this is in the right section so if its not, please advise or move.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I'm going to have to sell my car to buy a 4wd of some description.

I just need to figure out if I should part it out or sell whole so I'd like some opinions.

It is a r31 pintara wagon sleeper,

Mod list:

S1 rb25 rebuilt literally 3 weeks ago.

Eagle h beams

Cp 86.5 forgies

Acl race series mains and big ends

Arp head studs and rod bolts

Head rebuilt with new seals etc all Nissan stuff.

800cc injectors

Atr43g3 internal wastegate

Full 3" exhaust

Clutch is custom exedy sports tuff but with modified pivot point and ceramic button plate

Rb25 turbo box

Bw lsd with 28 spline axles

Tein front camber adjustable coilovers

King springs in rear

Full rose jointed castor arms etc

R33 brakes

Gts wheels (r31)

Walbro 460l e85 pump

Haltech e11v2

Car looks completely stock apart from wheels. Stock interior, the lot.

In fact I have been pulled over for rbt and they haven't even looked at the car.

Was setting up for e85 but running in on 98 so still not tuned on e85.

So far it has had a street tune and done 500km and seems to go really well.

Awesome car for someone who wants a quick car but also needs

Something that is a bit practical and can take kids. Has tow bar etc.

Fully engineered and legal.

Cheers.

I don't know what your time-line is Lucas to procure that 4WD. Do you need the 4WD urgently?

If it's not urgent, you can operate with Plan A for about 3 months to sell this modified 'sleeper' as an entire car. You must have envisaged this whilst you were upgrading surely?

I say 3 months because December and January are very 'slow months' for car sales - even if they're used cars.

If you need your 4WD urgently, you might try Plan A for just 1 month until mid-December > switch to Plan B and part it out.

Methinks you'll get more money that way, and avoid the 'slow months'.

Fair call Terry. There is no real urgency to the sale. The need for the 4wd is purely due to acquiring a holiday house that is only accessible by a 4wd and my wife is not keen on driving a 4wd again. I could probably have a 4wd and this car but I'm not really in a position to do that right now. Only problem is that I have pretty much zero idea on how much my car would be worth.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
