Keep it, Youll never get 40k or 30k or 25k for an engine on here unless your goin reallly low but you would def be losing alotta cash.

why did you have the engine built that way? you'll never use the full potential of it. never!

06-01-2009, 05:22 PM
thats not just the engine, its wiring, the fuel system, aem ems, braided ss lines, manifold alone was 2600, full race when it about 4 months after it came out, the stroker kit was 5500, the machine work was only 3500 the rest is all parts, tomie oil pump, almost everything tomie makes for an RB went into my motor.

even still...you clearly didn't plan very well. building a car is not an investment. you'll get nearly half of what you put into it. in this case probably less. It's a nice piece. I'll give that to you!

was intended as a track car and i wasn't going to half ass it i wanted it to be done right and only once i wanted it to be bullet proof, and didn't want to ever have to open it back up, your right because the engine should hold up to about 1300hp. i was only gonna run the gt35r and 850cc injectors. good enough for 600-650hp. no short cuts, a once and a lifetime build. i'm not sure i could even part with it. its just a feeler thread to see what if any one is interested or what i could get. i may even sell it as a whole car and all, total out of pocket for me was 65k ish, everything has been upgraded.

06-01-2009, 05:32 PM
wasn't planning on selling it ever when i started the build. so i planned on tracking it and maybe even showing it/ magazine etc. love it or hate it. I'm just testing the waters.
SoguRacing
06-01-2009, 05:34 PM
If i were you I would keep it. If you sold it you would hate yourself later. I'm sure the monetary value of the car is what will make you keep it. If i were purchasing it. I wouldn't pay more than 15k if you have all receipts, and some sort of warranty on it. Building bulletproof is good. Maybe you have tons of money to throw around that we dont know about and you're willing to take a loss but for 65k you could have had a porsche or M5 or could have had a good 400hp full track car for a fraction of the price. I'd say to keep it.
SoguRacing
06-01-2009, 05:34 PM
No need to test waters unless you're in debt. get paid to have it shown.

Damn man sweet car....but if I had 65k to throw around, first of all the car wouldn't be primered. Second I would have a street capable RB26 in there running 800-1k horse. Then with my mint car and bullet proof motor, I would take my extra $15,000 and roll around in it.
65k on a 240 is just too much imo. GLWS
how much for the turbo manifold?
pm me a price shipped to 91101

that shell is hardly a 1500 car.
i watched it being built.. tons of quality parts and quality work went into that thing. fully stitch welded, custom cage, tubbed rear, widebody, fuel cell, etc
shame it took so long to get back to you unfinished :( i wanted to see that thing rip

x2! with the money you spend, just go and get a kaizo r34 and put this shit in. its more worth it. :)

Usually such motors go into SHOW CARS, and never run... cars are being sold as piece of art to stay in a garage!!!!
Or into race cars with SPONSORS! (who pays for it)

I was thinking the same thing. With the amount of money put into this car, and the amount of quality parts, to go with a Godspeed front mount, is beyond me.

just out of curiosity, why the rb25 and not the 26???

that looks so much like an rb26. so it is an rb25? those valve covers look different. looks very nice

if your serious about getting rid of it your best bet is gonna be a part out and if you decide to part it out lemme know ill take some stuff of your hands for sure

lol tomei sells fully built rb long blocks for $12k.
but anyways, thank you for stimulating the economy by dumping 40k for what you could've got for >15k, especially if your goal was only 650ish at the wheels.

01-14-2010, 12:28 PM
You did something very wrong, why not just buy a tomei long block that you can get at any tomei dealer? You claim a 40k tomei motor but you're running stock cam gears? Either way to get more serious buyers why not post the pic's of the machine shop build sheet, post pic's of the parts before you installed them, recipts, dyno sheets
boosted98gst
01-14-2010, 12:33 PM
OMG I looked again and this motor is not even running a soild lifter set up? This is a damn joke has to be 1300 hp my ass.
240sx25det
01-15-2010, 05:39 PM
40k was an estimate of everything including the chassis prep, suspension etc., and 1300hp was a bit aggressive the bottom end should handle anything you through at it. obviously it would need larger injectors turbo, cams and other supporting mods. as for the intercooler i don't even know who makes it as i just paid for it, second party bought it ( mechanic) I got so busy i didn't have to do the work and got hosed by some loser who didn't get very far either.
bottom line i didn't post this to get bashed if your interested then let me know, if not keep your comments to yourself.

01-17-2010, 08:16 AM
$15K NICEEEEE PRICE!!! steal honestly. if someone is really trying to do it big, this will be extremely cheap in the long run. VERY cheap in the long run. well there are a lot of guys running stock chassis with minior suspension, SR swap, bigger turbo and power fc, bolt ons, kit, paint and wheels..and have spent over $15k easy. and would have nothing near what you could get buying this guys car!!!
good luck man
lazysk8er2
01-17-2010, 08:26 AM
i just dont get why you would take 15k after spending 65k...boggles my mind. you have almost everything why not just finish the build. if your taking a 50k loss then another 7k to spend shouldnt be a problem.

exactly what you said! he sells it at the price he desires and what he think its worth! yes he should keep it but he may have financial problems that he doesnt want nosy ass people to know so he is keeping to himself! keep out of the thread if you guys have nothing else to say but bash him! if he could prove reciepts of all parts is all that counts!

01-19-2010, 08:03 PM
i know i'm taking a loss no need to remind me, i would love to finish the build but realistically i just became the father of twins in december, who knows when i'll have the time or money to finish and its more depressing then anything to open my garage and see this poor car begging to be finished, parts piled in the basement still in boxes. 15k is a steal.......when a lot of guys are selling stock rb's , with minor mods for 9-12 running but when this engine is up and running it will be a monster.... I'm not stressed for cash yet so 15k firm is the lowest I will go. But cash talks.....!? i'll take more pics this weekend and post them up.

sorry guys i'm not really looking for any trades....just the cash and 6k is way too low, i'm already taking a huge loss @ 15k. i'll give on my price but not for under 5 digits. Finished or not buy a turbo + 1k and you will have a complete car I've got everything you need to finish this minus a few odds and ends mostly belts and hoses and a turbo

Im in the same position kinda, but I wanna refinish for the 5th time and keep my car cuz I know Ill never get nearly half what I got in it.... My suggestions would be finish, and then sell complete running after ya hit the mags.... if I had the money, Id scoop this up in a heartbeat, I got half what you want in cash, but just out of my reach right now, plus I got to fix my own car...
