Please help me in pricing my vehicle GQ.

Thanks Truckster,

May take you up on the offer if it doesn't sell as is.

Regards

What else is in the much more :)

Where abouts are you too>??

I'm in Rockhampton so probably to far to transport heavy or bulky items. The other items are smaller and/or woudn't be taken off such as tint, endrust, front insect screen etc.

Still be interested in the stainless water tank.

No dramas will see how it goes over the next couple of weeks and will let you know.

Thanks

Hi Truckster,

Have decided to remove all the gear. If your still interested in the stainless water tank I've posted it in the trader section.

Regards

You tell me how much to get it to 3199 melbourne.

Hi,

Thought you had your own transport (from previous message above). If not I doubt it will be worth your while, I wouldn't even guess what it would cost. Willing to negotiate on the price but not by much as the unit cost me $880 to get made up plus the pump at $140 and all the fittings etc. It's based on the one you used to be able to buy, they don't sell them anymore.

Yea just asking dude in our Qld office where exactly they are, then can work it with him - maybe.. My actual boss (the good one) quit today at our phone conference, so things are up in air,but shoudl still be able to work it with Mark in QLd.

Hi Austravel,

I have the same veh (refer pics), would be interested to know what mod's to carby help....I know about secondaries and vacuum, have you found something else??

Hi Crocbit,

Extractors and full flow system makes it breath easier. The secondaries are brought in earlier, rejetted, advance the timing to 21 deg and remove the carby heating element. All this made a big difference to the vehicle.

Thanks, Did you do the work or get it done? I may have a problem finding a "good" carby place here in Darwin, may have to send it away. Would appreciate any fine details you can provide, maybe do it meself?

Hi,

All the work was done by Motson's in Brisbane all up cost 10 years ago was approx $1,400 and they had the car for the full day. Made a big difference, I took it back to the Nissan dealer and asked him what he thought and they were very surprised. Fuel consumption seemed to be the same (bad). Basically unless they know what they are trying to do then a normal mechanic etc won't know what to do. These guys do research and testing on what extra gains they can get out of standard vehicles and all work is carried out on a dyno then they market the technique. Sounds like I own the place!! I don't, but their workmanship is great. I'm considering getting their power up package for the 4.2 turbo diesel. The other thing is that there are extractors and extractors, they only used gennie and used a mandrel bent exhaust. I'd have to check but I think it was a 10%increase in torque and more than that in power, the major benifet was just how easily and quickly it seemed to rev out with the mods.

I guess one option is if I can't sell the car in the near future we could discuss swapping the carbies and extractors/manifold and a bit of cash. Everything should just swap over.

Be aware that there is a small cloth filter in the vacuum line that if never changed will stuff up the vacuum advance. It sits near the thermostat housing.

Lot of the goodies for VL Commodores bolts on to this motor.. also NISMO crap too for the Skyline that shared this motor with the VL and the GQ..
You can get them to fly, but its all $$... easier and cheaper to do an engine swap with a V8

True Truckster,

I have noted similar threads in the EO forum archive, (where incidentally I got some REALLY GOOD INFO from EO contributors re the RB30 - my motive to join as a member).

However as it is recommended you upgrade the gearbox (300ZX type) as well as the V8 conversion, the additionl 12-14,000 dollars just doesn't get there (until of course the existing motor carks it!!) Mine has 180,000 and still going strong, GRR, central Aust & elsewhere through NT etc

However with the news broadcast today that it is feasible we could be paying $3 per litre sometime in the next few years, any improvement fuel consumption wise is looking good - maybe convert to steam lol

I intend to stay with the Datsun (oops - Nissan) til it gives out, if it's anything like my old 1968 Datsun 1600 and subsequence 180B SSS _ you couldn't kill 'em with a stick!)

wow $3

I was thinking of buying maybe I should wait. might be some cheap vehicles going.

I heard the same New story!

Nearly crashed the car!

It was some oil expert, stating that if things go at their worst, then $3 a ltr is will be!!!!

Then everyone will be on bikes!

Croc,
yea was only sorta jokin on the conversion, but yea, VL Turbo Motors drop straight in to the GQ with RB in it.. could be a worthy mod!

Austravel,

I'm also a Rocky local and I am VERY interested in accessories, particularly - LR Tank, Water Tank, Drawers/Slide (no freight worries for me - Sorry Truckster !). Can arrange fuel tank swap if required and will pay CASH.

If you're serious about stripping before selling I'm serious about buying (as long as the price is reasonable of course).

Here's hoping ...

Hi CQ_GQ,

I'm trying for a few weeks to just sell as is but this may change as well. The idea of just stripping and selling accessories and car separately are starting to appeal. Can you give me your contact details and we can have a chat about what I have and what $$ I was thinking of.
Regards

Freight should be no issue for me either, we have an office in Qld. :D LMAO
