Keyser Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Answers on a postcard please The truth is I have no idea, so many ideas so many options and although I know what I fancy doing even I can't justify it in my own little brain, So to be honest I am not 100% sure just yet - but do not fear Mrs Keyser still has a 350z and has BIG plans for that (she said I can borrow it if I do the work lucky me ) so I will not be leaving the fold in the near future whatever happens. The NOS is up as I hardly ever use it and I don't actually need it - It is fun though The SC if it sells then great if it doesn't I will simply re think. I have so many ideas and so many options I need to get a few things actually nailed down, it's one thing to say "I can always sell that" and another to actually sell something for the right price! Lets just say I've spent a lot of time on auto-trader and Piston heads lately PS. I am currently debating weather I should tell you lot what I can't justify not sure I can handle the abuse Edited March 11, 2014 by Keyser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliveBoy Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'm betting on a 2JZ or RB26 lump or similar.... 4WD with the RB26 would be impressive, heavy! but impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 OK I have decided you can join my pain This is what I can't justify - (still may go and see it next week though ) This I could probably justify but won't be able to leave it alone! With 2,176,856 variables to consider as well!!!!!!!!!

AliveBoy Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Combine the lot, VR38 engine/gearbox/drivetrain into the 350z, coupled with a 370z front end swap and seats... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Would The Zed Shed still retain its name if you got the GTR? If not, get the 370. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Would The Zed Shed still retain its name if you got the GTR? If not, get the 370. Just 1 of the variables to consider - I would say not that high on the list though Why do I feel like most of us will say do it, just so we can get dibs on all your parts A lot of it is earmarked already, so that is not a major concern to be honest, Of course it would mean I had a BGW with no home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cs2000 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Shame to see the bitch broken for parts but id find it incredibly hard to resist a GTR too. Could always get NOS fitted to that too (as if its not quick enough already) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony.r123 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The GTR engine has been fitted into a S14 silvia, time for a Zed conversion me thinks! I honestly can't blame you for looking at a GTR, even though the "Bitch" is awsome I just don't know how long it would be before you and Buster got bored and started to "tinker" with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleR Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Why can't you justify the GTR? Just the sheer price along with needing specialist servicing if you're not gonna buy the kit to do it yourself? I have to say, though, if I was in a financial position to buy and keep an R35, nothing would be able to stop me. It's a massive itch to scratch and the second hand 09/10 models have hit a plateau in regards to prices. Aside from that, I'd love to see. 2JZ lump chucked into a Zed, amazing motor!

Keyser Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) @ Tony.r123 - That's what wraps are for Why can't you justify the GTR? Just the sheer price along with needing specialist servicing if you're not gonna buy the kit to do it yourself? I have to say, though, if I was in a financial position to buy and keep an R35, nothing would be able to stop me. It's a massive itch to scratch and the second hand 09/10 models have hit a plateau in regards to prices. Aside from that, I'd love to see. 2JZ lump chucked into a Zed, amazing motor! Yup it's purely the cost of buying it, not so worried about running costs but not sure I can justify £40 - £50k sitting outside depreciating I managed less than 3000 miles in my Zed last year and that includes Wales. It is on my list though - I have done the 911, which was my aim before 40 I have built a custom Jap another box ticked, I still love playing with the 350's (and it looks like I will be doing another complete rebuild soon) But I would like to say I had owned a GTR before I get to the "otherside" I also like the 370 and that is more affordable not the right word - justifiable I suppose, but my 350 will out run any stock 370 so it sort of becomes doing it because you can not because I want to - and besides I'd soon spend enough on the 370 to make up the difference to a GTR anyway The truth is I don't need a car the problem is I am a petrol head and WANT REALLY REALLY WANT a car if you know what I mean?

coldel Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I think we all know what you mean mate - as part of a husband and wife team with a 2 year old child, we didn't need a second car, we certainly didn't NEED an R33 But good god its great to be able to go out and drive a fantastic sports car isn't it! If it's what floats your boat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vansman66 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Feck it, go for it. you have that little maggot chewing at your brain so if you don't do it now, you'll only end up doing it later, get it out the way now while you can still get in a sports car.

If it's what floats your boat! We appear to be on the same wavelength Col and Vansman - But that really doesn't help That's exactly what floats my boat and it's my Hobby as well, I'm lucky enough to have a nice big garage right out side my door with lots of tools at my disposal, Due to family and work commitments combined with spending 12 years globe trotting I rarely go on holiday abroad - I rarely go on holiday Of course this then loops me back round to - yes but if you get a GTR what are you going to do to it other than service it? It comes out of the factory with a top speed over 190mph and I doubt I would be able to do much to improve the handling as the car is way beyond me to push to the limits ................... So a 370 then - yes I can do that stick some FI on, a nice body kit followed by a nice coat of GREEN paint. it would look great go like stink and I could say "I built that" but hang on take the cost of buying the 370 and all the bits and I've spent as much as a GTR that would still out perform the finished 370 ..... Keep the 350 then ....... been there done that and got the wife's to do next and if I'm going to build hers then I need a built engine and a supercharger and supporting mods - easy £15K so why not keep the £15k put my bit's in hers and add that money to the pot to buy a GTR? - Now start reading again from "Of course this then loops me back round to" That is about where my brain is - It's good to talk FEEL MY PAIN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
