    In this thread, http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?t=308234 said it was sold in April and had thread locked. Anyone know what happened - sale fall through at last minute, or no real buyer at all?

    Like how it lists on gumtree that they are FERRARI tail lights...

    Yeah, V8EATER bought the car off AK and is now trying to sell it. He hasn't had the car for long.

    He states it has larger turbos but provides no detail on what they are apart from "garret etc" :rofl:

    And this made me laugh:

    "NISTUNE ECU for live tunning (cost over 2k) with usb cable + program to run on laptop (tune and diagnose problems)"

    Was that the price with a brand new laptop too? :rofl:

    I think he is trying to say the car would be capable of up to 500rwhp with bigger turbos and the nistune live tuning thing was taken from AK's original ad...

    http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?t=308234

    Guessing maybe AK paid a workshop to fit, supply software and tune for around the 2k mark? The current owner doesnt know a lot about the car and most of the ad is just copy points.

    Hopefully he gets a quick sale... I'm guessing it will be snapped up by a youngster with no idea and this zed will die a horrible non-maintained death... :(

    Equally likely to die a in a uncontrolled skid into the nearest pole,tree, river etc which will hopefully give it a much more glorious death... and will probably keep "youngsters with no idea" away from zeds for the forseeable future

    took ak and eternity to sell it to this guy, so it might might be another long drawn out attempted sale......

    Agreed

    People have a fair idea of how much it sold for. Considering the sale is not on here then i guess he might have bought it thinking he could quickly flog it off for a higher price. But anyone who knows anything about the car would know how long it took AK to sell it.....

    Unless something is wrong with it?, after knowing this car (and working on it a couple of times), last i knew it was running and in perfect working order?

    It took a lot of work and money

    For my zed to reach 500RWHP. I suppose you *could* even try and sell a stock zed and say 'with bigger turbos and engine rebuild/tune this can be capable of 500RWHP+'

    This is the thing with modified cars these days.

    You wont get it registered because they are not road worthy without an engineering certificate. If you dont have an engineering certificate to cover every one of the modifications, then potentially you may not be able to drive the car, or only drive it on permits or have to revert it back to stock condition.

    Even then, it was a b@stard to get mine over the pits. It passed. Only because they were clueless as to the emission testing results. It was a HUGE fail, but they didn't notice and I could register my car again.

    .

    nothings wrong with the car, its in very good condition.. the reason i didnt post it here is so i dont get ****wits such as the above posters (-ve comments) posting about how long and hard AK tried to sell her or how shit the colour is - the usual faggy posts..
