Hi All,
i'm currently in the throws of contemplation where I feel that I need to part with my Pulsar. I've owned it for 4 years now and enjoyed many highs and probably just as many lows. As said, this is a contemplation thread but I'm at a point now where I'm not sure i can keep spending money on it- I should really be enjoying it, having just spent another considerable amount fixing the gearbox selector issues as well as installing brand new Tein Superstreets but I want to see if there is A. interest and B. what i can get for it. I bought it as a near standard car and carried out every modification myself. Milage on the shell is 115k KM and on the engine, 8k km.

Tein Superstreet coilovers with top mounts

Interior;
Willans Harness
Stripped rear

Option motorsport gauges x3 (oil pressure, oil temp and boost)
OMP rally steering wheel in suede and dished
M's JDM gear knob
Clutch support bracket
Engine+ transmition;
Radtec radiator and intercooler
Mocal 16 row front mount oil cooler
custom 3" downpipe and 2.5" side exit exhaust by powerflow
GT2871r AR .64
Z32 MAF
TRUST air filter
SARD 700cc injectors

Fully balanced and decked block with skimmed and blaanced fly
Fully reconditioned head, reshimmed etc
Genuine Nissan gasket set
Genuine Nissan timing chain set
Silkolene 10-50w oil used at oil changes 3-4k miles, systematically.
Managment;

In it's hay-day;
Without Turini;
As it stands currently;
There are a few bad points too, all cosmetic- the car is, right now, mechanically perfect in almost everyway. Every significant part has been replaced, leaving very little un-touched. It has just sailed through an MOT, having needed a steering gaiter and the horn refitted. nothing else. The rear arches are still solid and the car was undersealed when i bought it. There are parking dings and a few other marks that need doing to make it mint. Also, the interior is a bit scuffy. I have a phase 1 set of heated front seats in there but they do not match the phase 2 door cars. The reason for this is that the drivers seat broke last year and i needed a repalcement.
As i say, it's not a a definate sale thread but I'm giving it some thought. I haven't driven it is a long time and imagine that if i did, I'd probably want to keep it so this may change.
As for a price... Who knows. They seem to go for such differing prices that I honestly cannot put a price on it so heres me asking; does anyone have an opinion on a price? I know it's insured value and i definately know its cost..!
