thank you, sir, but the previous owner actually gave me hard copies of the original books and manuals. Plus my mechanic has worked on many, many GTR's so he knows his way around this machine.

much appreciated!

Wow... So awesome. What an experience! How does it look under the hood and in the door jambs and such? Curious about the color change is all. Pics show the car looking pretty hawt. One of my all time favorite cars and my favorite Skyline ever.

[QUOTE=dchoi23;2921775]i honestly haven't owned this thing long enough to think about selling it. i'm a sensible guy though.... if either of those two buyers brought me $20k cash, i'd probably sell it..... then i'd be the guy with the shortest vegas trip (3 hrs) and the shortest ownership of a skyline....[/QUOTE]
plus most people lose money going to vegas.

And you would be right, however it mentioned in the ad that the car was originally blue and was re-sprayed that color. Color changes always weird me out because I have never yet seen one that was done right because.... Doing it right is prohibitively expensive.

dchoi23 08-18-2010 12:12 PM

yes, it was re-painted and I got the receipts for it. the guy paid a good amount of money to have this thing painted and I'm pretty sure they did not give him any vaseline to ease the pain....

Also, another thing - 98% of everyone on i-club is cool and I got no problems with anyone on here. The 2%'ers - stop wasting my time and yours....just because I bought the car for $8k doesn't mean I'm going to sell it for that amount nor is it worth that little.

just because I got this car at a great deal doesn't mean you get the same deal. The opportunity was there for everyone as shown on CL and I put in the time, $$$, resources and am continuing to put in more $$$ to get her running, get new wheels and upgrade the brake system (as I believe this is all she needs).

so please, no more PM's asking if you can buy this thing for $10k or less. I will only entertain serious CASH offers of $25k and above. This car has a ton of mods and as my mechanic will tell you, "the car is nearly perfect."

For everyone else, thanks again for the support and congrat's. Anytime anyone here wants a ride or would like to check it out in person, I'm more than happy to come out to a meet or whatever (pending registration which is also going to cost me about $1500-$2000).

Cheers

Yup. Kevin has one overseas (i believe) and he's worked on quite a few of these.

Kevin has been a huge help starting from the beginning. THANKS Kevin and AutoHQ!

That's what I heard from a mutual friend but then again, you never know about hearsay :ohwell:

dchoi23 08-18-2010 12:45 PM

by the way, what do you guys think about the Silver BBS wheels from an STi on this thing? Just curious.

Also, looking at some Advans and SSR's.

And in case anyone is selling, I would like to buy some Brembo's for the R32 (5x113.4) and/or a BBK (stoptechs, wilwoods, etc). thanks
