Car is completely stock, has Nismo exhaust and front pipes but standard dumps :(

So that's what... another 10k in mods to get it to 300+rwkw?

Maybe not that bad given I can do the labour myself - not the tuning.

EDIT: Looks like prices have changed a bit and it's not that expensive to get 300-330 on 98.

-7 or -5s
Injectors, Fuel pump, Cam gears
Cams not necessary but would help (and sound lovely)

PFC and tune
Full exhaust, some conjecture on 3 or 4"
AFMs

Standard intercooler and airbox fine.

Speaking to the salesman, not good.

"With the vehicle itself the price is fixed we are not discounting the vehicle so it’s probably not the vehicle for you in that case.

To buy this vehicle at today’s exchange rate it would be even more expensive."

"
Irreplaceable for that money."

I'm trying to get parts thrown in, anything.

I've just sent one final email to say is there absolutely no room for negotiation in this?

As much as I love the car, when you seen fairly nice examples around for 55k (white) with a built motor, 59k more or less for a stocker (even a nice VS2) seems a bit expensive for my budget.

This SAUWA R34 for $55K ~ was always my Benchmark for pricing, to date i still think it was the best value R34 to sell in recent years

http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/446039-r34-gtr-v-spec-5a-import/

Other solid buys to memory are (forgive me if the values are off, these are listed prices;

Matt's KING87's GTR $55k ~ with genuine Z-Tune guards/bonnet, 6-pot Brembos, Mines piping - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/146573-r34splease/page-149

and Tangomatt's GTR - $90K ~ ~ with Everything, basically a 1/3 price Z-Tune with more - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/287693-racepace-built-r34-gtr-nur-rb28-v-cam/page-1

Another soild one was this Black V-Spec with HKS V-Cam pushing 340awkw for $65K ~ - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/401854-fs-r34-gtr-v-spec-with-hks-v-cam-ex-tpg34r/

The missus was not pleased about the prospect of a 55k car that still needs another 5-7k spent and won't see much track time lol

She was more OK with the idea of 55k finished and I would actually use it a few times a year on track.

With that VS2 I'd be reluctant to go harder than 7/10s I think...

I want it all for 55 lol

Vspec2 all the bolt ons etc.

The reality is that doesn't seem to exist.

The other issue I have is being jaded by the QLD car.

Now having a harder time justifying that kind of coin for a 15yr old car.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
