You might be right...

I could always break it up.

20 000 kr for the wheels and tyres.
30 000kr for the engine
10 000kr for the seats and belts
10 000kr for the roll cage (fitted)
10 000kr for the bodykit (fitted and painted)
10 000kr for the dash display

The rest of the stuff comes for free! Building the car.... no charge.

im sorry about that it´s just that i just got me self a s112 recently for 7500 sek with documentet newly renovated engine and the way i see it 30000 for your engine where the hell have you put the money on that maybe youll have a good engine controll system whit sensors for 20.000 sek then i would understand because surely more than 10.000 to renovate a standard internal engine isn´t realistic.

it is a nice car i admit to that don´t sell it keep it and make it into the monster it could be with forged internals or maybe an ca18det vg30 fj 20 or sr20det but for the love of good to put in 30.000 sek in an angine that only produces say 240 ish ??bhp for that kind of money youll get an rb26dett from a engine supplyer complete with mt tranny.

as for the wheels if they are magnesium i get it but i must have missed it in the swedish ad.

the body kit is fair priced if the paint jobb is alright

the roll cage i can´t understand you buildt it your self as i understood it?


well fuck it i didn´t mean to be sutch an asshole and i apoligize for this the above is not to argue it is to show you how i thougt while posting the previous post. i appoligize again its just that even 50.000 is in the top range of what it could get sold for and your aiming for 80.000.

and by the way i am not some freaking noob teen that think that he nows anything youll try me if you don´t believe me when it comes to nissan motors 88 to 97 thats my speciality altuohg im still learning about the s12 previous knowledgde is s13 and above. i still love my new s12 altuogh it´s a bit slow at 190 bhp but it will do til the new engins in.

again i´m sorry for my latest post i appoligize to mister Conkers and to the forum for putting this in this post i am my self

Jesus, its his bloody car let him sell it for what he wants. Obviously if it isn't worth it, then it will become apparant when he doesn't sell it. As for now, good luck to him, it cost him a fair old chunk to build.

Are you genuinely interested or just trying to have a go at me?

If you are genuinely interested how it can cost 30k swedish kronor (2200gbp)
then here's a breakdown of the build...

Compare it to your engine rebuild documentation for reference.

Ported Cylinder head by the guy who tuned the Pikes Peak Saab cylinder heads, gas flowed valves, reground seats and mira 3 angled cutting, skimmed 0,5mm, volumed and equalised new valve guides and match ported to manifolds= 10 000kr (740gbp)

ENEM reground camshaft 3000kr (220gbp)

Balancing of pistons, rods, crank, flywheel and clutch 2700kr (200gbp)

New Piston rings 1000kr (75gbp)

New oil Pump 2000kr (148gbp)

Ultrasonic cleaning and testing of fuel injectors 800kr (60gbp)

Gasket set 1350kr (100gbp)

New Bearings 1350kr (100gbp)

Rising rate fuel press reg 2000kr (148gbp)

S13 Clutch Cover and uprated disc 1500kr (110gbp)

T25 Turbo w/modified oil drain and actuator to fit std. manifold 1500kr (110gbp)

Braided hose for oil feed 300kr (22gbp)

Heat shielding for turbo and oil lines 500kr (37gbp)

Flowed and heat wrapped Manifold 1000kr (75gbp)

V740 FMIC and hoses 1500kr (110gbp)

Porsche 944T Rad and fans (still part of engine assy.) 2500kr (185gbp)


I built the engine to be bullet-proof and run it safe. Aspirations of trying drifitng but primarily as an endurance racing car in the scandinavian long distance racing series, 250bhp is plenty for me, 400bhp would make it a class winner in SLC, but also involve more expense with transmission/clutch etc, as well as jeapoardising the longevity of the build.
If you want to buy the engine then I can supply and fit CP 8.4:1 forged pistons, DET rods (balanced of course) and girdle for an additional 10 000kr (740gbp).

This is a professionally built engine, not some thrown together piece of junk by some spotty faced moped tuning adolescent... The prices above are only the costs involved, no labour is included. (well, ok, I did the head myself, but the price is what anyone else would pay).

Wheels are compomotive split rims, check the price yourself... plus a whole truck load of R tyres go with them.....

Roll cage kit 4500kr for the kit and about 100 hours to fit it. I think 10 000kr for a fitted cage is cheap at 55kr an hour in labour! (4 gbp an hour!). It is a fully welded SBF approved endurance racing cage, not a wannabee drifter bolt in cage..

I could go through the stack of invoices for the parts involved in the car build but it would scare the crap out of me...

These prices are all of the top of my head.... there could be a few quid here and there difference.

He he... you already asked me this one....

I wrote ENEM a note quoting what you told me to get....
http://www.nissansilvia.co.uk/vbb/sh...0&postcount=13
and he settled on a couple of BMW profiles... Z10 M20 or something... basically, the hottest thing he could get on it without building it up first...

;-)
