My 90' GTR

[mcfly]

One day, around two and a half years ago now I thought it would be cool to build North Americas fastest GTR. I am now knee deep in a half built car and no more money to finish;)
It will be finished and I give everyone my word there. Unfortunately until I get into a house with a garage the money won't be making it to the car.

As it stands right now the car had a built bottom end, the one I will be using for the big numbers in fact. Some really nice internals in there and surprisingly they ended up being the cheap part of everything. On the top end of the engine I have a stock head and stock turbo's. I did this so I could break it in hard without having to mess around tuning it at the same time.


The car has run for two seasons now. Last fall I got it on the road but only got 1300 km on it before the temps started hitting the minus' overnight. It was dormant for the winter while I collected more parts. I have the odometer up to 4xxx km now and the engine is sufficiently sound for the next half of the build.

one day I plan to run into the 8's with the car. Yes, big goals.
In the current state the car needs 15k to be finished up as most of the parts are already in storage.


Currently in order to finish the car the main components I need to buy/make are;
th400 transmission - Easy to get and build for my needs at around 3k
I need to build a transfer case adapter - already prototyped in my head and on paper
custom length and spline th400 output shaft - cannot be done until I get the adapter milled
custom driveshaft - once again easy task once everything in front if together
fuel system - costly, aiming at a weldon 2345 with moran 350lb injectors
dry sump mount and drive - have a FWRC pump already, will make the scavenge pan myself, oil tank, lines, fittings, ati pump drive.


There is of course some other misc things such as exhaust piping once the turbo is mounted and compression piping but those are final touches. Almost forgot, a paint job, years of neglect takes its toll on paint.

I'll try and make a few more posts with some of what I consider highlights of the cars build.

[victoriaGTR]

im outta money too... what yah know! sexy car love the green rims!

[SRC]

im outta money too... what yah know!
lol +2....must be some kind of GTR Syndrome.

Love the wheels on that car Mcfly. I can't wait to see this thing fly when it's finished.

[j-ran]

is it your goal to keep it street legal?

[Skym]

I like alot. :)

GTR is known as a "money pit".

[Oakville]

theres something about that wheel colour. its just awesome. rare as hell too.

just like this background colour, a hell of a lot easier on the eyes than gtrc, even the darker theme. :P

nice Damien, nice. keep 'er goin however you can.

[mcfly]

is it your goal to keep it street legal?

it will be "street legal":p
Guess it depends who's street, it will still have all the lights and what not.

Hopefully I win the lottery this year and can build the dream garage.
I'll cook up a post with some highlights later this week. Tight on time.

[Oakville]

^highlights? :)

[victoriaGTR]

rare green paint?

[j-ran]

rare green paint?

i believe its the colour from a takata harness, and they are probably the only enkei nto3+m wheels in the world that are takata green, so i guess they are very rare lol

[Oakville]

id say theyre pretty rare, this colour, let alone on this rim, ive only seen once, other than on japanese drift team cars

[mcfly]

You can order wheels from Volk in Takata Green. They are special order but they are around.
More common on Honda forums then nissan.


I have no updates really. Or highlights for that matter because I have lost interest with the car being 800 km's away. Out of sight out of mind. I'll get around to it though sometime soon.

[Oakville]

You're in Kamloops now? and the cars in AB? how did this come about?

[mcfly]

I was offered a job in Kamloops and I jumped on it.
So my bike and gtr are in sherwood park.

[Oakville]

wow...i remember reading about how you always wanted your cars/bikes plated in alberta, youre gonna keep the house there?

[mcfly]

I winterized the gtr yesterday for storage. engine still purs.

Now on a positive note i just sent off another email regarding my transfer case adapter. th400 - attesa.

That's the major bottle neck in this situation but i think i have a very positive lead on machining them now. I will keep you guys posted. In the mean time until I get on my feet in BC here and buy a house the projects one somewhat of a "hold"

[mcfly]

Someone find me a transfer case adapter for a th400.

Or someone capable of making one. It has been a whole lot of fail.

what he said

[Skym]

I see. Any good CNC shop should be able to make it with CAD program if you give them the bolt pattern templates (or parts + car to take measurements), length of adaptor, shape of internals, etc.

But not the only big hp GTR owner asking that question -

A person is mentioned by Prostock John in above link who might be able to help you.

[mcfly]

sr beast never went through with it unfortunately.

and rob at rips has done one but for some reason he apparently had to twis the case into the floor oddly.

where are you going to put it?

[mcfly]

In my garage. But I lied it will come out after Christmas. I'm loading it this weekend.

[mcfly]

Zacho has graciously donated a jdm battery to this project which makes him my largest sponsor. Everyone say thanks ;)

[Zacho]

you have my boost gauge too haha

i've ate a fair amount of sand/dust/salt off your car over time.

[mcfly]

yeah, steve and you have been troopers.

[TougeJunkie]

I like what you have done with the TH400 set up, I gather this is for a drag car, if so why bother keeping the 4WD?, Im sure you have your reasons ...just curious

after the launch wouldnt it just slow you down?

cant wait to see this beast all finished

[mcfly]

Believe it or not the vehicle will still see the street when I am all done with it, maybe not a lot but enough to warrant 4wd or at least help. What good is a GTR without Attesa though? The car is being built for drag and i do agree the fastest cars are rwd. but a true gtr has to be 4wd so that is why I am keeping it.


Anyways, I was back in Edmonton for the weekend so we packed the gtr and the bike up for it's road trip to Kamloops sometime next month.

[TougeJunkie]

Well your staying true to the GTR roots ... thats respectable, 4WD with drag levels of HP would make for a very fun car that would launch like a missle lol

[Zacho]

D-man, did that thing even make it out of the neighborhood today?

[mcfly]

The denali is awesome with a trailer. the fuel mileage not so much but traction is mint.

pulled the 6200 pounds well through our 20cm of loose snow :p

[SuperHatch]

Looks like a BDE-Performance TH400 adaptor. I have Brett's setup on my S14 w/ VH45DE. Launching off of a transbrake is incomparable to anything else. I was pulling 1.51s short times with a stock VH45DE and 26x11.5" MT ET Streets.

I'm assuming you'll be doing a transbrake, etc. in your car. What will you be doing for a transfer case?

[mcfly]

I am currently trying to track down a machine shop that will build me a transfer case adapter. This is a much bigger problem then it appears as everyone i talk to tells me no.

yeah transbrake with a stall hopefully up near 7 if we had the the convertor built correctly.

Have you given any thought to running a GM transfer case? What is the overall length of the TH400 compared to the stock 5-speed, will the driveshaft length be effected if you do manage to get a transfer case adapter built?

[TougeJunkie]

I was thinking that too, custom drive shafts and TC mounts, maybe a bit of sheet metal work on the floor pan to make room, who knows there may be enough room already

custom drive shafts are not an issue tons of shops make those. Most domestic transfer cases flip the wrong way, the rest of them either don't hold enough power or are a constant split that would destroy the front drivetrain in the gtr.

Novak wont do anything for me, i have asked many times.

[Rapier46]

Ive never seen any of your plans for the car mcfly, until this thread. only seen a few pics. sounds great. i like the built bottom end part. what would you say the stock bottom end 05u is good for hp wise?

[mcfly]

1000 whp give or take 63 or so.

This car was going to take a while when i started it. But now it will take a long time, cars tend to fall on the back burner while life changes :p

[Rapier46]

oh hell... gtrs take forever. its ok though. im still young. you said stock internals are good for 1000hp? obviously a joke of some sort, ive heard 500? more with a really good tune.

[mcfly]

the block is good for what i posted, that's the only really important part. I am a keen believer in the 400hp rule for changing rod bolts. It has happened before it can happen again.

[j-ran]

all you need is a chip for 1000 hp

[mcfly]

I would like to update, but i have nothing to add.

[Rapier46]

good post^^

[mcfly]

It's coming out next weekend with my bike on the trailer. Not having it near me makes it hard to work on.

[Rapier46]

so do you live in edmonton or kamloops?

[mcfly]

Kamloops now

[GTR--J]

Always liked the look of your GTR, what are your plans for the exhaust?

[mcfly]

gtr and bike arrived in kamloops an hour ago.

[Rapier46]

Pics or shens

[christ.deyoung]

There'd be something overly disgusting about an automatic GTR....1000whp would take care of that nicely, but for the money you're going to spend on custom bell housing/attesa adapter/drive shafts/etc wouldn't you just be better off buying a Liberty sequential or something? I'm just really not a fan of automatic trannys.

[mcfly]

I'm not a fan of you :p

The liberty is not a street friendly gear box.

[christ.deyoung]

I'm not a fan of you :p


Awwwwwwe :(
You won't be my friend?
lol

[r32king23]

Why did you move to Kamloops?

[mcfly]

To try a new career path/venture. But since moving out here I would never return to AB.

Though this has put a huge damper on my car I will one day begin to plug away at it again when the finances are a little more in line.

[Snow]

I'm not a fan of you :p

The liberty is not a street friendly gear box.

Neither is a 1000hp lag monster..

(sorry, I had to.):p

[mcfly]

lag doesn't exist, it is merely a perception and state of mind.

2x 295/30/18 kuhmo ecsta spt tires arrived just now

[GRIP]

what no ECSTA V710's?

[mcfly]

After the first set of hoosier a6's I gave up with the sticky and went for the long life.
It's the road after all.

[Zacho]

2x 295/30/18 kuhmo ecsta spt tires arrived just now

Those mixed with the hoosiers was hilarious to watch.

I vote you bring some pics in here from the tsr thread to make it more interesting for others.

why two? i thought you were keeping it awd

[mcfly]

tires are wearing out at diff rates

Have to get my act together and start prototyping this adapter out of wood i guess.

[mcfly]

I had a guy from the shop drop off my rims and tires today for mounting. He told them i was very picky about the condition they were going to be returned in.

They called mid afternoon and said they could get to them but it would be a rush job and if I give them until tomorrow they can take their time.

Who knew Kal Tire had different levels of workmanship :p

[M13]

Just pray you don't have any "surprises" tomorrow.

[Kras]

As long as they have a half decent tire machine with a plastic composite head on it they should do a good job. It's hard to scratch a wheel with one of those (I've still managed to do it once though lol)

[mcfly]

We have a nice tire machine at work but i neither trusted myself or the guys in the shop to do them.

Wheels are back and it is all good now.

[GTR--J]

Any pics of the tires mounted on or off the car?

[mcfly]

Certainly

[Rapier46]

how wide are the wheels. 10.5?

[GRIP]

Pretty beefy .... looks good Mcfly

[mcfly]

how wide are the wheels. 10.5?

Yes, I run 18x10.5 on all 4

[Zacho]

My wheels are officially for sale. Must run 275+ out back, I loooove it.

As much as I liked the hoosiers, those look good actually.

[mcfly]

AMS front control arms arrived yesterday
as well as rear uppers and their tension rods.

Just need to track down some good traction rods now.

[GTR--J]

Looking good!;)

[mcfly]

Genetic tuning got me the arms, which i should mention.

bit better deal then ams will offer on their website. you can find them in the vendor section here ;)

[rb-racer]

i see plenty of talking but no pictures ;)

[mcfly]

Ams solid subframe bushings and ams ss brake lines.

Now I just need the hardware for the arms which is taking forever

[Zacho]

i see plenty of talking but no pictures ;)
.

[Rapier46]

I frown upon AMS hardware. 2 studs stripped when torquing on tension rods. The parts are actually alright so far. I think they AMS cheaped out on hardware, like the studs for tension rods. Everything else seems solid, time will tell. Anyway! Pics or shens mcfly

[mcfly]

Cheaped out or not that's the reason the gtr is not driving right now.
I will get some pictures shortly


I spent the better part of an hour cleaning an attesa transfer case in the parts washer, its cleaner so I can at least see the bolts now. I will begin the disassembly tomorrow. I have all the clutches and plates lined up for ordering according to the guy in japan. Will inspect and order parts as required.

Maybe get the case professionally cleaned since it is just nasty still.


I also ordered PBM traction rods and a new pbm fender roller to replace the eastwood i sold.

[GT-R Glenn]

McFly seen this ?

Auto

YouTube- Australia's fastest street registered GTR 8.9 second R32

[mcfly]

That is nice, at the end of the day when i get back to working on this it's unlikely that it will end up as a streetable car.

[mcfly]

I found my GTR's first publicity shot

http://scmotorsports.ca/trak-shuhn/pictures/albums/userpics/journal_driving.jpg

[Marcus]

Very nice. At least you have some media coverage.

[mcfly]

I was going to take the car to the shop today to install the suspension components but earlier this week I fired the car up to find it had a dead alternator.

Spent a few minutes today pulling it and out came this oil covered disaster. I need to relocate my relocation kit. I just ordered a 160 amp alternator to replace the stocker.



The next update will be after i finish the fucas, rucas, tension rods and traction rods.

[mcfly]

New alternator has been ordered
I lost the exhaust so a test pipe/cat back were ordered as well.

[mcfly]

Exhaust showed up today, no more straight pipe for me.
UPS rapage at 98.66

Alternator showed up as well with shipping damage. Still usable though.

Please elaborate on the exhaust:D

and what turbo are you running?

[mcfly]

My progress is very slow. There is still stockers on it.

I'm thinking at the current point in my life we wont see this done for 3 years, that is if i don't sell the parts + car.

Can you at least blow them up so you have to replace them?;)

[mcfly]

I did my best last summer. They sustained 1.3-1.4 bar for a while on stock ecu.

[mcfly]

AMS rear upper control arms are in
PBM Traction rods are also in

Later this week I will do the front uppers and tension rods
Also have aluminum subframe bushings to install one day and ss brake lines
Then lower some more and align.

[mcfly]

Fucas and tension rods are now in

Need a new battery + terminals and then it goes next door for an alignment.

[mcfly]

Optima red top is in, fires up like a rocket now.

Getting a four wheel alignment today at work.

[mcfly]

It's begging to look like a blew a turbo.

Car free revs fine and drives normal until you need boost and then it falls on its face. The exhaust note has changed as well which makes me suspect this the most.

I did not feel like working on it so it's undetermined until a later date.

[GRIP]

Time for a single ?

[mcfly]

Unlikely, house is on the agenda before a finished gtr.

Front turbo is blown, wont spin on idle or rev.

[skylinelemans]

looks very nice

[Rapier46]

Turbo swap is easy as hell, just change them out. Aren't they just oem turbos?

[rb-racer]

I'll send you a turbo if you need one. you should just finish the damn thing, you have most of the parts.

[mitch32]

I got two OEM turbos if you need also. Why don't you put some N1 turbos in there? They are cheap and make good power. Is your engine/head built?

[mcfly]

The bottom end is done, the head parts are sitting in Edmonton.

I might finish it but I require a house first.

[GRIP]

I hear ya, working on cars with out your own garage sucks ..... I been stuck in a shitty strata place for way to long and get messed with every time I try to get some work done on the car.

[mitch32]

The bottom end is done, the head parts are sitting in Edmonton.

Screw the house, you can live in your car!!!!

Joking aside, I understand a house is better good investment. The money I spent on my car would of made a nice downpayment on a house.

If you don't mind me asking whats your engine/head setup (parts)?

[mcfly]

original buyer fell through. this is for sale now extra parts included.

[mcfly]

So much for selling the damn thing. I dont know what happened but I have a new shopping list.

Just purchased a Weldon 2035A. Progress will be slow but by next summer I should have a gt4508r powered street car.

[mcfly]

Just ordered a brand new OEM head from Japan. It will get shipped straight south for CNC porting and oversized valves. No pulling back now, full steam ahead.

or is it really bad?

[mcfly]

not bad at all, about 900 Canadian with shipping.

[rb-racer]

I'm happy to see that you have started this project back up.
what do you have planned

[christ.deyoung]

What was wrong with the old head?

[mcfly]

I'm happy to see that you have started this project back up.

ill make a short list and post tonight.

What was wrong with the old head?
nothing, but by buying it now it means no down time but I can still get work rolling.

[david]

you need a house , come to Manitoba , live with me and help me build my GTR LOL

[mcfly]

:p I am allergic to the volume of mosquitoes in Manitoba.


I have Ariel of Custom Plenum Creations making me an intake plenum right now. It is going to have a 92mm throttle body flange. I have decided to go with either a Nick Williams or FAST 92mm lsx throttle body. Having an integrated IACV means I can get rid of the whole rats nest under the plenum. Very attractive to me.

He is also supplying me my fuel rail as well.

[Das Kamu]

WOW

[mcfly]

As it turns out manufactures do not like selling parts they make.

[Das Kamu]

i just get all my part numbers from fast and give it to the nissan man

he always says

"your not allowed to have fast etc etc

[bobbo]

Hey McFly,
I'd really like to more about the integrated IACV. I'm all about the K.I.S.S. method.

[mcfly]

It's a GM thing. The LS1 uses a throttle body that has the IAC built right into the housing.

The LS engine line actually has drive by wire throttles to with this integrated system. ls1 is a three bolt flange but most aftermarket manifolds use the ls2 4 bolt flange and they are easy to get a hold of.

I myself will be using a 92mm LSX throttle with the 4 bolt and old school cable.
See the holes before and after the throttle plate, that is for the idle air. On big engine guys will drill a hole on the throttle plate to reduce whistle through the passage but it is not an issue for something as small as a 2.6L. You need a standalone to control the iacv for cold start and warm idle as it uses an electronic stepper motor.

Nice! I'd love to be able to get rid of that "rats nest" under the i/m.
You've been around here for a long time. I'm curious to watch the development of your build... GOOD LUCK!

btw. I'm glad to see some "vets" stayin' with these old dinosaurs.

[mitch32]

I haven't been to this thread in awhile but it seems like it's moved along pretty quickly in the last few weeks.

Let us know how the porting goes, I had my ported but the guy did it by hand. He did a good job but he charged per hour and it worked to be pretty expensive. I'm wondering if the CNC is a better option cause it might end up cheaper and ports are more precise.

What standalone you going with?

Is this going to be a full out dragster?

[mcfly]

We will see what the total comes to. The head is enroute from Japan to Texas so it's going to take a while.

I have not made a decision as to what standalone I will use. I will leave that until the very end. I'm acutally between Haltech and AEM v2 at the moment and leaning towards aem v2.

It is being built for drag but I want to be able to still take it out on weekends / evenings or even to work if I must.

[mitch32]

Good stuff.

I'm running AEM EMS Series 1 (not much difference minus the datalogging can store more and password protection, which are two good things). I like the AEM but you need someone who knows the software well. Theres a lot of parameters to work with, unlike power fc or nistune which are very easy to work with.

Never had much experience with Haltech, it look good though.

Both the Haltech and the AEM have a serial port that works with an AIM dash. You can view all the data from the computer so you don't need gauges all over the place.

[mcfly]

I have a stack dash :)

The AEM v2 is on the list because it has 6 coil drivers now. which the v1 did not. I had nothing but problems when I ran a v1 so i'm not sure what I will do when it comes down to it.

[mitch32]

What kind of issues did you have?

I had issues at the beginning with overboosting/boost-creep. The ecu has an overboost fuel-cut setting, the tuner programmed boost at 20psi and the overboost at 22psi. I would then hit the rev-limiter and when I shifted gears the car would overboost hardcore like 28psi for a split second, so I get a crazy violent fuel-cut.

The new AEM actually now has 8 coil-drivers now. Just out of curiousity, why wouldn't you want to run wasted spark?

[rb-racer]

the factory coils are very powerful but the waste spark with them = fail under big power or high rpm and with both it is worse.

I had big timing issues myself

[mcfly]

I was having timing issues with my v1 as well. I finally just gave up and threw a stock ecu in because at the time that was all i needed.


COP is awesome, why get rid of it. If need be I can bump the voltage to the coils if i'm running out of spark.

[mitch32]

Never thought wasted spark could cause such big issues. If the fuel is burned properly and pressure in the cylinder goes down when the exhaust valve is open, a re-ignition shouldn't occur. I'm no expert, just wondering why. Theres big power rb26 cars with Power FC and I'm sure Power FC runs wasted spark.

I know that the orginal AEM's had timing issues at high RPM's because of the 360 tooth CAS disc, but now they include the 24tooth disc (even with the sr20det ecu, and probably the vg30dett too). I had no timing issues, but I also ran the 24tooth disc from the start. At the very beginning we had trouble setting timing but I think thats normal it took like 10-15minutes.

COP is good, just sucks when the coils break cause they cost so much. I'm running orginal r32 rb26 coils in my motor and they work perfect, I'm also now around 18-19psi so spark shouldn't be blown with the 25thou gap I have on the plugs.

I found the biggest issue with waste spark is the dwell time is decreased as you now half the time between coil fires. I don't think its a BIG issue like you mentioned lots of cars running high power with it...but it can be a speed bump.

A tip as far as coils go, if you can't afford brand new ones try and find some off an RB20de. I ended up getting some and I figure they had less abuse on them and I scored with them.

[mitch32]

I didn't think about that. Its true you divide the time between fires by 2 since its firing 2times more then it has to and at high rpm I guess they could come close to overlapping. So when do you know wasted spark is causing issues? Would you have pre-ignition happening randomly at high rpm? Are there coils that can eliminate the issues caused by running wasted spark at high rpm?

Sorry for the slight thread hijack Mcfly, it is relevant though :P

[mcfly]

Custom plenum has begun.

Here is the flange

[mcfly]

Throttle body flange for the plenum.

fits a 92mm 4 bolt lsx throttle body.

[mcfly]

nearing completion on the plenum. I have committed to running floor mounted pedals to accommodate this one.

[rb-racer]

that should look good in your engine bay. whats next on the agenda?

[mcfly]

Even sadder day. The GTR has been stolen. right from the secure parkade.

If anyone sees any parts for sale let me know by pm. nismo diffs, stack, r4c clutch, grid ts controller, prefec type s or even a built bottom end. I'll find a serial number.

Saw your post on beyond, sorry to hear.
Hopefully it will be recovered I will try to keep an eye out in calgary.

Also posted the beyond thread on Gtrcanada, least i can do.

[mcfly]

Thanks a lot. I hope it comes back too.

[bobbo]

THAT SUCKS! Sorry to hear about that McFly.
I'll have my wife contact a couple of her friends that are at the borders in BC to keep an eye out for anything being shipped south... never know.
EFFIN' THEIVES!!!

[mcfly]

They found the car at about 11 am this morning.

looks like a joy ride.
Not sure what condition the car is in.

Was found on south hill drive in kamloops apparently.
North shore

[Rapier46]

Wtf. Fuckin thieves deserve to have a dick up the ass.

[mcfly]

Pictures of the damage. I wonder how the car is mechanically. I know the engine can take a beating but i'm still worried.

I found a pot scale on the floor in the back seat, what a surprise.

[mitch32]

Wow dude that really sucks. I'm sure the engine is fine, do a leakdown test to see, if your worried then you can atleast feel less worried. Is insurance going to compensate you for the damage? Good luck keep us updated.

[Rapier46]

Fuckin assholes.

[bobbo]

Glad you got 'er back. Sorry you had to go through that though, I know how it feels.
God I hate theives.
Did they print the car?

[mcfly]

they did. I don't know what they got from that though.

[Stefan_001]

sorry to hear about your car. At least they didnt strip your car. time to buy a security system. think about boomarang if your spending good coin on your GTR its worth the cost.

[Rapier46]

I got a fuckin alarm system for ya it's called a baseball bat. Go fuck some hats with it

[mitch32]

Haha, Rapier46 you seem angrier then usual.

Boomerang is good but doesn't discourage car thieves (or in this case pot smoking/dealing car jackers). Probably the best thing is boomerang, a 2-way car alarm with super loud horns, and a 12-gauge for when the 2-way alerts you that your car is being broken into.

[mcfly]

It should be interesting to see what happens when they take a look at the damage. Right now it wont crank. It's now in the hands of the body shop we have.

I have not looked for the reason why it's not starting. Maybe electrical but i'm concerned.

[bobbo]

Fingers crossed for ya brother!
$hi++y a$$ timing too. Wasn't that long ago you were thinking of throwing in the towel on your build... now this.

[mcfly]

well I am still working with insurance. It is nearly coming to the end I think.
They have 5 example cars, they have my parts listings.
hopefully things end up turning out ok.

[bobbo]

Wow man! Don't know what to say. Sorry to hear it. Atleast now you can move on to something that's less of an aggrevation ;)

Wow. That sucks man. Sorry to hear that. Will you be buying it back then?

[Rapier46]

What's wrong with it...?

[mcfly]

i already bought it back.

It needs, door repair near handle, ignition cylinder, door lock cylinder some plastic trim pieces. and possibly a starter(might not if the ignition is fixed.)

And a salvage inspection which it wont pass without a few things getting put back in.

[Das Kamu]

sorry mate

[4jo3]

I might be interested in a parts car. Pm me a price.

[Rapier46]

Me too Damien. And if you were to part stuff out, let me know some prices of things too man.

[mcfly]

I doubt I will part it out. I just don't have the time anymore with the things I current have going on.

[Rapier46]

Ya parting out is a lot if bullshit. Give ya 2000

[mcfly]

[4jo3]

Damage is to the drivers drivers side door. They pried the handle out with a screw driver and then snapped the ignition cylinder clean off inside on the steering column.
that's the list of whats on the car right now. has about 4k km on everything roughly.

[Rapier46]

I have a ignition cylinder with key if you need it. But if not, let me know how much for hicas lock bar.

[mcfly]

I'm not parting it out or fixing it. I'm going to sell it as a whole

[4jo3]

Is there any head work done? Also you mentioned the motor wouldn't run. Did u find out what was causing that?

[mcfly]

we push started it, it is either the starter or the ignition wiring(likely the wiring as when you turn the switch to start it loses all power as if its missing a connection).
head has nothing done to it. That was this winter, I just canceled the oem head order I had made.

[Rapier46]

Fag

[mcfly]

bids at 1000 :p

I may or may not pull it apart. It's a lot easier for me to sell as a whole but i'm thinking in my head about tearing all the a/m parts off and junking the chassis.

[Rapier46]

ill pay 1000 for your GTR.

[mcfly]

get in line

I have a pretty good lead on getting rid of it right now so fingers crossed it goes through.

[victoriaGTR]

can u take payment by paypal haha im a broke ass loser...

[mcfly]

if I can put a lien against your life :p

[victoriaGTR]

Are you going to replace your car?

[mcfly]

No, not that I can foresee anyways. I am in the process of buying a second bike. So between my R6 and hopefully a CBR1000RR I will have more then enough summer fun.

If anyone knows someone that would considering buying this as a whole tell them to email or pm me.
mcfly@gtrpwr.com

[Stefan_001]

all that work and your selling it.

[mcfly]

9k quick sale :p

might break it down in a year or two if i dont get rid of it.

[Stefan_001]

How much for the OS Giken quad plate? I have dibs on that clutch when you decide to part the car lol.

[mcfly]

the only way I would part it out is if it was still in my garage in 2 years.

[Rapier46]

give ya 40 for hicas lock bar

[mitch32]

Criminals ruin everything.... sorry to here its over for you mcfly. Are you looking for another car or ...?

I'd take stack dash, carbon surround, TS Grid, and I know someone who will take the clutch.
