Hey I definitely don't want to kill Chris's sale, but that is the harsh reality of modified cars. But you also have to consider that for $6,500 you are only paying for the engine and associated gear, gearbox and mods - it is a bargain.

It's a paperweight (to me in my personal situation) if I can't register it, I don't have the funds to buy a tow car and all the associated stuff for a track car. Nor do I have the space, time and money to buy a shell and transfer everything into it.

a laugh at 2.5k.... no way 2.5k for a 260rwkw line with the parts I have... just the manifold, 3.5 dump and external waste gate cost over 2.5k... what about the engine management and boost control thats another thousand then you have the rims the suspension and the rest of the exhaust theres another 2.5 to 3k. And then you have a dogbox. Huge oil cooler the size of a radiator and cooler The blow off valves-two of - now thats prob more than 6.5k just there..... and then you have the car and motor.... heheheheee what a laugh.... it says 6.5k firm - thats firm with defect,

The oil leak was just the oil spurting out of the oil dipstick when not inserted correctly and giving it a bit while still cold.... which i hardly ever did... hence all sorted.....

Agreed nightcrawler.... I would be perfectly honest to say I would be sad to part with it for that price..... I have just ordered new rear tyres too.....

It will drive back fine to qld.... I still need to buy the 20 dollar turbo gasket (being purchased tomorrow tomorrow and fit)..... that can be a pain to get the turbo off the exhaust manifold because of the amount of room under the exhaust turbine and the room between the manifold bolts and the engine....you can not get a socket and wrench in there..... I have found a shortened O spanner however made of high tensile steel in order to do it although it will still be no walk in the park.... just cracking them is the hard part once they are loosened it is easy.... :-)

buy it ---> drive it back --> de rego --> engineer --> re-rego --> skids + pics!

MMmm would be an option but i do not have the stock parts turbo low mount manifold etc i only have the gduounk parts.... i am not too sure how much the box was... I will try and find out...


$so i take it this thread must be being kept hidden either that or people would not be looking for skylines with all of the goodies for such a price.......????

You can not really ever buy a modded car for with these mods for less than $12 thousand with that sort of power.......

Interesting that it has not had any interest / or sold or people look even look into it further....

strip, sell, make more than $6k :)

or strip, sell, buy stock parts, sell car, make more than $6k

just requires effort and a few slabs of beer with your mates

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
