it's costed me about 30k up till now...and that's way too much for a 15 yo car...

i dont think i'd be able to get much more than 15k for it, but let me know what you guys think, any advice is welcomed

Its only worth what someone is willing to spend on it. If early 20s kids hafe 30g to spend then its worth that.

but unfortunatly they dont. so you should get 20g for it. considerng all the goodies.

I've spent almost that much on mine too... But then I have done 65000kms on mine too.

I'll do ya a deal. You paint it bright red, I'll swap ya for a nice economical 2l cefiro :). Only condition is, I keep my wheels.

I think everyone goes thru this phase at some point of ownership of a performance vehicle. I did it twice when i owned my R33 but eventually sold in for financial reasons, only to spend more on the next car, Satria GTi. Then sold that due to $$$$ and bought a $3,500 A-B Nissan Pulsar.

Only to 6 mths later buy the Cefiro. Due to unforseen costs on the Ceffie I to have looked into selling it, but i think u just need to sit down and do your sums and see if u really are going to get ur monies worth.

I think the biggest question u need to ask yourself is...

"Am i going to stick with a cheaper, economical car, or am I just going to get another performance vehicle 6 mths later??"

I did this twice over and if i knew it i would of just kept my original R33 instead of waisting thousands of $$$$$ selling, buying, moding, etc...

My rant / 2c

i know im gonna get another performance nissan...i dont qustion it...not even for a second...after all...it's happened with my last 6 car...could have a house by now (so the parents keep telling me :) ) mostly likely get an r34 after this...might call it quits for a while after i get that...but then again...that's what i said last 6 times too :) something abt turbo nissans...it's better than drugs :D

:( something abt turbo nissans...it's better than drugs :(

Damn straight.

I went from a N/A subarooo awd to the ceffie, my first RWD car not to mention ridiculously overpowered for a novice povo like myself but I never looked back not even after the several near crash experiences in the first week of ownership (it was raining all week, drift cars and rain = fun, unless your completely new to the RWD oversteer thing then its F***ing scary :P)

Since the ceffie I have driven loads of hi powered cars, and the consensus is, high boosted nissans f***ing rock

and we are all on these forums coz we have the same problem with car related addictions :D

Bugger that!

If I were you, I would sell the parts on their own, here or on eBay, then just sell

the car for what it is. You don't really get the money for the parts if you sell them

with the car, but on their own you should do really well. :)

That's my bit, anyway...

Good luck with the sale either way.

Adrian.

i had the idea of pulling the engine out and selling as a complete rwd conversion package, with all turbos, injectors pfc, gbox etc and put in that s15 motor i got sitting in the garage...but that means more time off the road..and engineering...

f**k...i'd be happy if i get 18 for the car minus some stuff from the list...

dave...i thought about that idea..but then i dont wanna deal with smart ass little kids on the forums talking shit, you know how these c**ts are in the forsale sections...

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
