Firstly I am in no massive rush to sell, not open to any offers, the price is the price if you want it any cheaper I will just remove some mods to make it cheaper. I have only just finished building it and have put so many hours into it and lost count of how much money but I need to get back on my feet sooner rather than later as I am emigrating to Australia in just over 12 months. If it doesn't sell I will just keep it in my unit until it does or until I can afford to use it again, been really enjoying it now its running and its been to the Nurburgring and back and did a track session at JapFest just so I could prove its reliable and trustworthy.

SPARES! Standard 3.6 ratio VSLD Standard cloth driver seat in good condition Standard airbag steering wheel Box of parts including spare inlet manifold/plenum and throttle body, starter motor, alternator, coil packs, injector loom, dash cluster, and loads more! Touring sideskirts (green so need painting) BAD POINTS- There are a few bad points (If I am really picky) but the worst one is sometimes it wont start first time. It will always start but mostly on the second turn of the key, this hasn't bothered me as I know it will start, its probably something simple but even at mapping Greg couldn't find the fault. Squeaky belt on start up (Will try and sort this if I have a buyer) Airbag light is on (This will be sorted soon or I can put the standard wheel back in if required) Rev counter has a mind of its own (have spare clocks to go with the car) Engine mounts are really stiff so things vibrate but this is to be expected. Bodywork needs a bit of attention (pics to follow) I was tucking the wheel arch loom and the wind blew my wing over and it scratched on the floor and I scratchedthe door refitting it. I caught the corner of the front bumper and scuffed it getting it in the unit. Passenger wing lip is damaged from being low Bonnet is stone chipped. Price is £8000 as it is I will get the full front end resprayed and skirts fitted if I don't have a buyer in the next few months but then the price will be £8500 OR £7500 without the driver seat and harness (standard seat back in) £7000 with stock interior and no wheels (bring your own) Any lower and I will just remove other parts. Thanks Lewis
Nice tricked out ride! Probably a long shot but in case you decide to part out I would be interested in the nismo injectors. Good luck with the sale. And you won't regret australia!
Thanks buddy As much as I love this car, I feel I need to start my life and get away from the scene (until I can really afford to do it properly) Well I have someone interested in the car with parts removed so maybe we can come to a deal without the injectors in which case I will give you a shout Thanks Lewis
Bump Car is back in the unit until I find a buyer or until the sxoc weekender where I might take it if I can afford to A few things I have forgot to list Car has a Laserline CAT 1 alarm/imobiliser (No NATS) Also has a Tomei Oil block adapter and oil filter relocation with oil cooler. Also has alloy rad with the stock cowling, viscous fan and electric fan, amazing setup and temps don't go above the middle. Carbon rear strut brace (Cusco I think) Battery relocated to the boot in a neat aluminium tray. Autometer boost gauge in a pillar pod Also have a brand new oil pressure gauge not fitted to go with the car Probably a few other things I will add when I remember them
Standard cams mate, not other head mods apart from Greddy valve springs and rocker stoppers. Greg said a set of cams would liven it right up, even though its pretty damn lively as it is.
Bump Would consider p/x with something with similar value and with a wider market to sell on (stock hi spec BMW's etc)
Got some better pic's of the engine bay mate? Also would you sell engine and box seperately? If so what price? PM me if you want
Hi mate I am cleaning the bay soon so will get some better pics but here is some during the build PM'ed regarding engine
Still here haven't really been bothered about selling it so not bumped the thread. Heads up I will be at Drift Outlaws down Pembrey this weekend if anyone is going. Make me an offer on it as it stands, it needs an oil change, some decent tyres and some tidy up jobs doing which will get done if it doesn't sell soon.
Been let down by a few people so will be taking a deposit from the next interested party(s)! Quick update, being the genuine/honest seller that I am I noticed a problem with the turbo where the compressor housing bolts and helicoils had come out and agreed with a potential buyer that I would get it repaired for them as its still under warranty, removed the turbo and the issue had caused damage to the billet wheel and housing so the turbo is now back at CR Turbos being rebuilt. My manifold is also sent off to have the wastegate pipe repositioned as this was believed to be the cause of the turbo failure as there was slight contact with a turbo coolant hose causing excessive vibration. So all this is being done to rectify the problem and stop it coming back. Also when it was previously mapped it was suffering boost creep and couldn't actually get the boost controller to do anything so it was mapped around the boost creep as it was belived to be a restriction somewhere. Recently though the wastegate has started working properly and now it only boosts 0.9bar (14psi spring) instead of 1.4bar so will need mapping again but means the boost controller can actually be set up which will massively increasing the midrange performance and also allow it to be mapped beyond 1.4bar so will make 470+hp on the current clutch set up. If it doesn't sell this side of Christmas I will take to be mapped again.
