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.

    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
