Jonny5 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 cheers Gaz, yeah back to some good old Datsun power, I'll give him a run for his money.. 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;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny5 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 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;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Mate please reconsider that price too cheap in my opinion 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny5 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkirby Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 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?? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny5 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 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;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelfill Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 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.

tDR Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 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.
