I?ve been thinking about this for a while and I?ve decided that while my project is starting to become irrelevant to my current situation (house, new wife etc), I?ve spent too much on it to just sell bits and pieces off till I have a pile of non useful bits lying around the place. Sooo, I was thinking about selling the whole lot all in one go. I realise that this kind of sale won?t suit everyone and so I welcome any group offers etc. Just want to get rid of everything or nothing . Heres the list 1 block, fully blueprinted and bored at 20thou. O-ringed for stock gaskets. (did a lot of research here and I reckon o-rings are the way to go for reliability. Paid about $1000 with machining etc 20 thou over ACL race pistons paid about $900 Scat H Beam Conrods with ARP 2000 cap bolts paid about $850 ACL Race bearings Std size conrods and mains paid about $200 Profiled crank shaft for reduced windige spent about 6 hrs on it Stock crank shaft in case you don?t like the profiled one. hmmm ARP Main studs and ARP head studs bout 380 bucks worth Pick up, sump, etc. hmmm Custom Ross Racing Harmonic balancer. A/C pulley deleted, spline and HTD pully added for dry sump drive, slightly underdriven. This thing is some serious cooooool. Bout $1000 worth at least Heads.......The heads....... over $10,000 spent here. Most aggressive porting possible, .5mm oversize Supertech Valves, machining for Cam Lobes and straightening, NISMO cams at 272 deg rotation with 9.5mm lift, supertech double valve springs, bronze guides, new stem seals, Titanium retainers, full set of brand new hydro lifters, Extra water gallery bored. I may have forgotten something here, I had an aweful lot of work done on these. Did a lot of thinking about these and maths etc and they should be very good for tourque without restricting HP if thats what your after. Paid ...well...over 10K So thats the long motor so far..... Got some polished cam covers, new knock sensor, about ? tonne of other spare bits and pieces for the heads, intake manifolds, upper plenums etc etc..... back to the hard core s hit,,,,.... hmmmm OS Giken quad plate clutch with fly wheel drives smoother than a triple but can handle anything you want to connect it too. Paid $3000 odd Gear box in good cond. Probs worth $700 odd Mike Smith Manifolds paid $1500 Garrett GT2871R turbos from UAS with complete bolt on Kit Paid way too much due to USD probs worth $3500odd VPort Blow off valves paid about 150 odd for both Bilstein Coilovers fully adjustable from the UAS/ROB260 group buy got to be worth $2500 at least Whiteline HD sway bars bout $450 bucks worth Upper control arms for rear $200 odd... Hicas removal kit Two piece bolt on with arms bushes and attach to stock tie rod ends $280 odd Cro Mo four point UAS front brace cant remember $300 maybe Brakes.........Brembo 6 Differential piston callipers with zurcon coated bits and stuff like that. Reconditioned and generally found on Porche 997 GT3 Cup cars with Dog bones to suit 300zx. V8 Supercar rotors, 384mm, pasta grooved curved vane etc etc with custom hard anodised floating hats to suit 300zx stud pattern. I don?t think you will find a more hard core set of brakes for a zed even if you go to America and look.....hard. Except for JP?s maybe. $5500 worth New Brake booster $100 odd Lightweight PS pump from electric hicas model Zed $200 odd Abflug type 4 R front bar (possible already sold) brand new never fitted from ROB260 group buy. Genuine abflug. $1200 New drivers and passenger widscreen cowlings. $250 odd A bunch of gaskets, spare bits, extra heads, extra plenums, water pumps, oil pumps etc etc etc. hmmm Rolling shell with full interior intact, 2+2, TT Auto converted to Manuel with all the clutch stuff, ecu everything still on it except the gearbox which comes with the whole deal and the engine which I?m hoping no-one will need. I reckon shes worth about $1500 at least Also, a surge tank which I recently acquired.$100 odd Ive definitely forgotten something or a few things even but ill confirm the full list with photo catalogue etc if there is any interest. I have receipts for just about everything above, everything is new and never been assembled, obviously the idea is to make a fairly decent race car but im sure anyone could manipulate it into whatever. So lest see, that all adds up to about $36000.00 worth with a few bonuses that Ive forgotten etc. Looking for offers around 30K for the lot, generous bonus discounts for those keen to take absolutely everything. If required, I will build the long motor including heads and cams in before pickup. Will personally deliver anywhere in WA Don?t be shy, make an offer, you just never know right? And if it sells, I will personally ride shotgun while the purchaser takes my new TT 370Z for a few laps around The Barbagello .....LOL project over.....
if you cant sell the package. I would be interested in the ARP head and main studs. Its quite a list, and would be an amazing engine.
Thanks tekky, I think the engine would be a cracker and there's not too much required to finish it. I wonder if there is anyone out there as crazy as me hey.
Also, thought I should mention that Im happy to look at offers from people who dont want the lot as long as they want a significant portion of what Ive got... my parts = :br:
I wonder if there is anyone out there as crazy as me hey. We all are, the difference is the wallet size. Good luck with the sale, looks like you bought well.
Nothing will be sold separately unfortunately mate. Also with regards to that fuel rail, the guy ripped me on some polishing so I'm not going to use him any more. Do you want me to send yours back over?
Quick question Zeb. Who did you get to make the adaptors for the Porsche calipers? I have 996 GT3 RS calipers front and rear and need to get some made for 355mm fronts and 330mm rears. If I hadnt already commited to the ones I have, I could have been very interested in your set. Bugger. Only reason I went smaller was so I could fit the 17" wheels on as well as the 18's. Monster brakes here people. Well worth the money.
Very similar motor to what is in my car, whoever puts this thing together will be very pleased with the results. Good luck with the sale. Softcock.
Hey all, just a reminder that I will consider offers on this gear if they are reasonable. Now definitely includes abflug type 4r front bar. Can ship the parts if you like. Keep thinking about it, the banks are easing up a bit with thief lending criteria Zeb
I know you say that you will not seperate. But if you can't sell the shell complete, I would be interested in taking the whole interior off your hands. I am after all panels for a 2+2 front, center, doors, and panels next to rear seats. All the tweed covered stuff.
