I wish I had the cash to buy it too. What's the potential power by uprating the turbo and getting a good map?

The GT28R is capable of enough flow for around 330-ish BHP - I'd say it'd make a safe, unstressed 300BHP at about 12-14psi boost and well over 300 lb/ft torque.

That's it, it's gone! :cry:

The upside is that the new owner is exactly the kind of guy that I wanted to be the next owner, he's called Jamie and is on this forum, called "siesta" I think. He's a really nice guy who's a proper enthusiast, owns an RS1800 too so his garage is pretty enviable now! :oooh:

I sold it for £4100 which I think is a fair price in today's economic climate.

The car sounded and looked amazing as it left my drive, I hope it's good for him and he enjoys owning it for years to come.

Thanks to everyone who commented on this thread and helped me get this car finished,

Bye for now,

Jim :)

Fastest ebay car collection ever! Hardly surprising though.

Will look forward to seeing the car looked after and used in the future :)

I'm glad it's gone to the sort of owner you would've chosen matey, and you're right, to get that sort of money is as good as you can hope really, when time is a bit of an issue. I couldn't even get someone to part with £2,750 for mine, got messed about for months and months, even at that price! Back then, selling a well-proven 200bhp ZT for under £3,000 should've been like watching piranha attack a chicken in the Amazon! Something cool will come your way again dude :) x
