Gee! Haven't logged onto this site for almost 2 years since I joined. Been busy and haven't gotten the car up to snuff, nor driven it even 2k since then. Even today got back on the site after re-learning my password etc.
Yet now it's time to let it go. I've built it according to my taste and for me. Didn't mean to keep it forever, neither was I able to drive it enough for my own satisfaction. Japan is NOT the place to drive an R34 GT-R. I got busy buying a house and jacking it up too in the last year and a half, so the car got left in the garage. Trust me, I've taken a couple R33 GT-R to the States for fun and even got to drive one of them quite a bit. That's why I say Japan is the worst place to drive a GT-R. I know what I'm talking about. I've had a few R32 too.
This is just a preliminary explanation of why I haven't been on this forum for almost 2 years. I'll get to the car also here after. I don't know my way around this site very well; moreover, I hope the moderators think this is the way to sell a car i.e. on the "car for sale" click. I hope they won't have a problem with this. If they do, I would hope they would help me to know what to do.
Regarding this car for sale, it is the original C-West demo car. It never had more than 10k on the body. I haven't put 2k on it myself. In this post I won't go into detail. I don't have great pix of the car and don't have the time to list all info. I did give some detail to an ol' GT-R customer in AUS and so they have put it on their web site for interest. If you care to look for now, one can find it at:
Powerplay Imports
One must go into their "cars for sale" on Nissan and find it among others like a NUR SPEC. This is a not such a good photo, and sorry there is only one. I say the car is for sale, but I'm not saying that I've taken decent photos yet.
Yes, according to the explanation in the powerplay website, there is an M-Spec NUR original leather interior. Heated seats and so on. Last week I put in an ORC i.e. OGURA twin plate CARBON clutch. That was the last thing I wanted to do before I thought it was worthy to sell. What a difference. Got a bit of noise on start up like sliiingggg.. and some noise when the clutch is in. But this is a racing clutch so it's normal if one can bear it. The performance is worth it. Also differing from the list on powerplay, I've put in a Nismo tower bar with the brake stopper. I guess you know the one.
This is just a preliminary. It's ready, but I need to put back in some trim etc. that I haven't gotten to. Otherwise the car looks and performs like I wanted it to: an artistic Street car, one no-one else has. You may ask why I say that, but I guess yellow is one thing, and C-West is another. It's got the C-West touch on Aero. Yellow is a rare color that was only made in 99'. The boys at C-West did it one better when they repainted it. They took the color a bit better, and I say without asking me. It looks like a Ferrari color or say Porsche. It has the leather seats too, so it's on the way to being something interesting, something the bay side blues couldn't swing. We haven't changed the original color of the car, nor do we have anything against bay side blue. Great color, but everyone has it, sorry to say. Last thing is I have a model of the car I bought on Ebay, limited 500 edition, C-WEST racing team. That's a model of the original car, like the size of the actual car key. I guess one can find pix of the car in the demo catalog on the net or something. I live down the street per say from the company, well, 15 minutes away.
One may say why didn't I built it bigger? Well, I thought about it and bought a 900 hp motor from a friend a few years ago slightly used. Decided that it was not right for a street car and resold it to a friend in the U.S. So bigger isn't always better in my opinion for every man. I'm looking for a man, a buyer who thinks the same. This car has history and speciality. It's a package for a certain kind of person, one who thinks like me. I've never seen another yellow car. My Aussie mates have seen a couple. Yellow wasn't a popular colour for Japanese. Thats why they quit making them in that color in Japan. I have to thank the Japanese for that however, for Ferraris, Porsches, and all the exotic cars are still coming in yellow. What a good color! Honestly, I have a RUF Porsche in yellow! RUF yellow is very rare.
Don't want any junk mail from kids that can't get it up that high. Just some response from good guys who are real and are interested or have some experience in the field.
Best regards
