Pretty much same weight as falcon without anywhere near the power. The c34 s1 was a fuel guzzler too (need s2 cause neo engine). But BFYB XR6T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a mate sending me details of an Aristo that's owned by a guy at protune, who deal with 2J stuff, so I'm hoping it'll be a good'n.I was keen on a Falcon because they're newer than all the import stuff I'm used to, but it hasn't translated into better condition :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that going to be within the 8-12k range you have put for the falcons above? The problem is jap cars lie most of the time, could have 300,000kms but only say 100,000 on the dash....but if you have mates/do work yourself and have jap hookups, then easier to stick to what you know (and just deal with the older tech and design of jap interiors ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatisntanissan New Member 9 Member For: 10y 4m 5d Posted 16/09/15 03:13 AM Author Share Posted 16/09/15 03:13 AM It's one of the only turbo VQs, good engine and definitely in that price range. It can be a bit of a gamble with imports but I'm usually ok at spotting a fraud. I normally love buying cars but it's a bit of a pain this time. Might have to try and stump up a bit of extra coin and look for an FG. Anyone want to buy a VX SS with a blown headgasket for $4k? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way I'll ever be back in a stagea is if I can find a 260RS version That's the probs with Jap crap for me....they hold their value too good and usually the only cheap ones can have problems (but that's with any car really). Just frustrating how much money we lose on our falcons, yet a 15 yr old import will stay the same price for 10 years lol If you can go up in $$$ you will probs get a pretty decent XR6T....I just know all the good ones are usually over 15k (and things under 9k need work or getting old and just want to sell it off). Out of curiosity...how many kms has the vx done before the gasket went? Think you'll need to fix that before trying to sell (otherwise jokers will offer you 2k) good luck!

Thatisntanissan New Member 9 Member For: 10y 4m 5d Posted 16/09/15 07:03 AM Author Share Posted 16/09/15 07:03 AM SS has 270km, 210k on the engine (replaced under warranty because of piston slap) but it only did a HG because the radiator let go and it got a bit hot. I replaced the rad and it actually runs and drives fine, doesn't get hot, just left some oil in the coolant, so I'm really assuming it needs a HG. No water in the oil. I'll try to get rid of it as is, as it needs too much other stuff, rear main, PS pump etc etc. About $3500 to get it sorted and then it'll probably need a clutch anyway.And it's slow and boring.Will probably part it out so some drifter can have an LS1 and T56 for their Silvia, leather and body stuff to a P plater for his exec. That's the plan anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
