SOLD:violin:




Well the time has come to part with the best car I've owned to date, and probably will be the quickest I'll ever own:innocent::d

I have enjoyed every minute of ownership, and I'm only really parting with her, as I have my heart now set on a GTR:taped::D

I've spent a lot of time and money sorting out a few faults when I bought her around 2.5 years ago...

The engine rebuild was carried out at TDI, at around 80K miles, and was done in preparation for a single turbo upgrade.
It has FSH from toyota then later TDI, and was looked after by Leon at JPS before I took over..

I converted to single turbo Dec 2006, and performance has been faultless:eyebrows:

Alot of parts have been replaced also less than 7K miles ago:

Front discs with Hawk pads fitted allround
Standard shocks replaced with yellow billies
Both rear wheel bearings/hubs replaced
Complete overhaul of rear diff including LSD, beerings and seals
Fuel filter, oil & filter every 2.5K miles
Engine mounts
Clutch replaced and both rear seals were changed on the gearbox and bushes too, refilled fresh V160 oil.
Steering rack

Sorry to hear this jonny, good luck with the sale. So you gonna be chasing Paul round in a GTR from now on then ;)

cheers Gaz, yeah back to some good old Datsun power, I'll give him a run for his money..:p

TBH I like using the car to go on long trips with the kids, rather than me just on me todd and now they are bigger, short of chopping there legs of at the knees (due to back seat), it's just not possible, so GTR, R33 in particular will suit my needs better, plenty of room in them, nothing else takes my fancy really.
Have looked at the aristo but it just doesn't do alot for me..:)

cheers Jon;)

Mate please reconsider that price too cheap in my opinion

Jonny5
30-04-08, 08:40
I will m8, but IMHO I would prefer a quick sale, rather than start off high and keep lowering to get it shifted

cheers Jon;)

What ECU are you running this with?

Totally agree. Your not being fair on the rest of us :( At least 14K for a quick sale with a fully build HKS engine by TDI.

Jon

What ECU are you running this with?

Rgds

I'm running the standard ECU, but with the VPC, the SAFC 2 is just used for fine tuning...To be honest I was going to use an EMU, but after some consideration, I would go with a standalone ECU with the 650cc ijectors..But for what I wanted it drives perfect, so I didn't see the point, and this is partially reflected in the price..;)

cheers Jon

Im with everyone on the price and how its going to bring the value of our cars down if other owners ask daft prices for their fully built singles. If i ever put mine up for sale, i wouldn't dream of asking such a silly low price. You need to add at least 4k to that.

Ok then, 15000 no offers:):d I bet it would still be forsale May of next year, I think prices have been affected lately throughout the performance cars market not just supra's..

Hi Jon,

So the call of a skyline eh ;)

Lovely car, been in it a few times and it pulls really well :)

With regards to price you have it spot on, people do my head in trying to ask too much for cars with their head stuck in the clouds LOL a car is worth what someone is willing to pay for it and your pricing is bang on and should sell quickly!!

Have you seen a 33 yet??

Great spec and price good luck with the sale

Jonny5
30-04-08, 20:08
Cheers Mike;), I do have my eye on one, but things went a bit pear shaped my end. But I aim to be in one real soon;) Test driven a couple, and I can honestly say there is nothing else in my budget that really floats my boat as they say.

I was offered (half joking) a swap for an E39 M5, but you just cant play with them as much as jap stuff, unless your pockets are like black hole lol;)

Sorry to see you selling in Jon,

If that price is too low then Jon will have a bidding war and should sell for more than he's asking, if it's priced correctly then a couple of days will pass and he'll get a bite.

Wish I had some spare cash though ;)

I remember this car from years back.... has a reversing camera and was badged as an Aston Martin or something???

Looking in excellent condition and a nice spec especially for the price you're selling - good luck with the sale! It's likely it'll end up going abroad since it's a manual.

Cheers,

Brian.

Thanks Brian, yeah the aston badges are long gone, what on earth possessed someone to do that, well:taped:
Still has the colour camera on the roof, but this can always be removed, I just never got around to it. :blink::d

Jonny5
22-05-08, 14:43
cheers m8,lol:dStill getting used to the way she handles, but it has the most grip of any car I have driven to date...Do a few mods and get her upto around 400ish and that'll do me..:eyebrows::d
