Cheers guys...its just a tentative EOI more than anything I guess....if someone has the cash then i'll consider it...if not, it'll sit in the carport and get a Sunday drive here and there....its great fun to drive.... Have adjusted price to offers over $20k..... Im in no rush...pretty sure I could pull it apart and sell it in bits and make over $20k.....

Planning to sell both my cars and go to 1....GTR i'd be too afraid to have as a daily/weekender.....too tempting to fiddle with it and too much to break?....

Bump. If I cant sell whole, am going to consider pulling bits off it and selling in parts at some stage in the not too distant future....

Cheers Clay!... Can I ask anyone who is interested and sending PMs etc to be genuine... seriously, you know if you have the money or not... This is a car that comes with everything done...doesnt need a trans...doesnt need a diff or wiring finished or any sh1t like that...most definately has the goods to run in the 10s on slicks. $20.5k with Simmons, complete as it sits.
