Bad:
· The interior leather is cracking in some places.
· Dirty smog needed for CA, but good in other states.
· For some reason the first odometer check reads 90k miles -- IGNORE this, it was a mistake
· The car is technically a salvage title from some water damage from driving through a deep puddle. Since then, all electronic connections in the car and the engine have been replaced. It has never been in an accident.
Good:
· Less than 60k miles in 27 years of ownership
· Barely used Nissan VG30DETT engine
· Custom enlarged Jim Wolf technology turbos
· Special Brenbo front brakes, back brakes from Skyline GT
· Brand new paint job of factory color (Cherry Red Pearl)
· BBS Super RS Wheels in great shape (new set runs $1,300)
· Brand new black leather seat covers were just installed
· Premium Tires with very little wear (Yokohama A032R P275/40ZR17, new set runs $1,000)
· Full Race Clutch kit with full metallic disc
· Short throw shifter
· Set forged CP pistons
· High-performance billet cam
· JE forged pistons with thermal barrier coating

Car Specs / Mods:
· Car has been Dyno’d as high as 511 Horsepower (16psi Turbo Pressure, no NOS)
· Removable T-top roof.
· Installed nitrous oxide system (needs minor tune up to be functional)
· Car has salvage title because it partially flooded when passing through a dip in a road. Since then, a new engine was installed in 2003 (hand built Nissan VG30DETT engine by Raver Motor Sports) and has had fewer than 10,000 miles driven on it since installation. Additionally all the electric circuits were replaced after the flooding. So to clarify, it has NEVER been in an accident, but was flooded by a large puddle in the road and since then all of the inner workings of the car were replaced.

The last dyno was completed in 2004. It was performed at 16 psi, although the boost has been pushed to 21 for brief bursts, so the dyno probably significantly understates the peak horsepower. It achieved 512 hp at 6750 rpm. This was done without nitrous. The nitrous system was added to improve low end torque and was programmed to cut off at 7 psi. I haven't used the nitrous system in years and it would require some work to get it functioning properly again. The car, itself, has basically been garage kept and has seldom been driven for the past 12 years. The California Air Resources Board basically retroactively changed rules regarding engine components permissible in vehicles, stating that all component parts must have certification by that agency. On that basis the car flunks visual inspection before testing, although the last time tested what came out of the tailpipe passed smog. This car has never been raced, although I have a pair of straight pipes (included) for that purpose. It has many features not previously mentioned, such as variable boost control, an onboard computer with realtime engine readouts for the driver, exhaust temperature guages, etc. I basically spared no expense in upgrading any component of the car that would improve it's performance. This truly is an amazing car and very fun to drive. I probably should have sold it years ago, but I just couldn't part with such a project that I had invested so much time and money on. I hope that whoever I pass this beast on to will enjoy it as much as I used to.
Now that I have a family it is no longer a good fit. Over the years, well more than $30,000 has been invested in upgrades to this car but it seems it is finally time to part ways. The car drives well and is as FAST as a car can be, but I simply don’t have the time for it anymore. Price negotiable.
