252,000km's on ODO... Reprayed in 2 pac glasurit Grey Full LE Bodykit Koya Inox-3 18x8" Wheels, tyres 70% tread (Maxxis 235/40-18's) RB30ET rebuilt approx 40,000km ago (o-ringed block, shot peened rods, wiseco forged pistons) Ported head, surecam reground cam, malpassi fuel regulator. Head reconditioned approx 6000km ago, new nissan head gasket, water pump etc. New timing belt, tensioner, one week old. Jatco 4 speed Auto, rebuilt 10000km ago, kevlar bands, new stock stally & 2nd gear band drum, modified valve body for firm shifts, tranny cooler. New Hybrid 600x300x76 Intercooler, stainless piping. New Hi-Flow T3/4 Turbo (T60-1 comp wheel, to4 comp cover, hiflow exhaust side) 5000km old. Full 3" exhaust & dump pipe. Minispool'd turbo diff (28 spline axles, 3.45 gears) Adjustable panhard rod, rolled guards. DBA Gold slotted and cross drilled rotors all round. New headlights, tail lights, center garnish and top and side trims. Panasonic head unit (4x50w) and Coustic 6x9's (all 1 year old). New tint-a-car t-18 tint. Greddy turbo timer Autometer Pro Comp Ultralite Boost, Water Temp and Oil Pressure Gauges. Car has made 270rwhp@13psi and done a 12.6@110mph at willowbank (with old turbo) Fuel system and aftermarket computer are what this car needs. I'd want a custom plenum meaning new cooler piping, phat fuel system and like an autronic or something and I'm just not prepared to spend that kind of money on it after what I've spent already in 1 year. I dont earn enough Basically I'm selling because I'm over it. This year I'd like to save some money for more important ****. I have a lot of the reciepts for the items on the car I've mentioned are new, or near new with the amount of kay's I've mentioned. And I think I'd prefer to sell the car unregistered so I dont have to worry about a safety certificate, meaning the buyer can arrange it with the full understanding that the car has a few things that would need attention to receieve a legitimate safety cert (i.e wheel size, ride height, noise, minispool etc) or they can just organise someone they know to do it so I dont get drama's down the track. There's probably a few more things I've forgotten to mention but just testin the waters for the time being... $16,000 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Very very classy. Polished Calais rims would look magnificent on it. I like your car

Cheers... Actually I'd have to disagree about calais rims, I've had polished calais rims on it before and they made the car look quite bland, they're too thin I think and just didn't really mix with it well...Calais Internationals on the other hand would look awesome in my opinion. Anyway, a couple more pics... the first one-yes it has different mags, tint and new lights since then but it's prolly my favourite photo... Jay Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
