Sorry if I post it to the wrong section, but this is not a for sale post (yet)

So I am moving soon to 2000km away and I am thinking I should try selling my race car. I have been building it for 2,5 years now, i bought it in original state. It's a 1997 Nissan 200sx S14a LHD made in germany. It had 179,000 km when i bought it, drove it as a weekend car with an easier tune for 1000km then I converted it to a race car so I stopped using it on the street. Now it has 300km with the current setup which I will list below. If anyone would be so kind to tell me what he think its worth.. I know how much I spent on it, and how much I would like for it, but I want to know whats its actual value.

-KW clubsport coilovers !!! brand new still a year guarantee
-Link G4 ecu. I have launch control, and ALS, running on e85
-KAAZ 2-way lsd
-Garrett GT2871R with upgraded wastegate, engine interior is still untouched so I am running a safe 1,4bar turbo pressure
-free flow exhaust system, JAPSPEED exhaust manifold (i have 2 spare too)
- Sparco roll cage --> accepted in rally racing
- Mazworx fuel rail kit with 1000cc BOSCH injectors, also have spare 820cc injectors
- I have Splitfire coilpacks brand new in its box, since the stock coilpacks still work perfectly with my current setup
- Perfomance intake manifold + s13 throttle body
- OMP steering wheel, wheel hub,FK bucket seats,sparco harnesses
- evo 9 brembo brake calipers+360mm discs on front with FERODO racing pads and complete z32brake on rear
- obt hydraulic handbrake, full brake system is with brake lines
- BRAID full race a, rally rims 18", very strong and lightweight.. ET15 rear and ET25 front, the clearance is perfect. Currently Hankook and michelin slick tyres on the rims.
-Big IC
- HKS cold air intake
- Kevlar bottom protection / sumpguard
- front and rear strut bars

Now the smaller bits:

- We took out every unnecesary parts: AC parts out, viscous fan out, ABS parts out,
- added 2x high perfomance SPAAL cooling fans
- fuel pressure reglator with gauge
- garret turbo pressure gauge
-the dashboard is flocked
- exterior and interior circiut breaker
- I have the original s14 rims, and an extra set of z32 rims
- i have the original VLSD, and basically every original part of the car minus the turbo

As you see the car was built to tarmac rally spec, meaning its not only a great car for drifting, but handles perfectly on a hillclimb or rally track
 
these cars are worth more in LHD land than in RHD land. so I doubt many people over here in England would be able to give you a rough figure.
 
how much would it worth if it was rhd then? I have no idea how much I should advertise it for, I cant really find a car with similar spec on european sites...
 
I know in Germany,cars like that are quite popular and seem to get very good money. Maybe 8k for yours? Depends really how much you value your time and parts at as well.
 
8k is a really low price, good condition stock cars go for 6500-8000 euro. I bought this one for 7k euro. Hell my KW coilovers, my ECU and my rims alone cost 5000 euro... Thank you for your opinion but if thats the truth I wont sell it. Anyways I did some research on how much other similar nissans cost on european sites and I got it up on some sites for 21,500 EURO. This price is still a lot lower(lets say almost half..) that what I spent on it, but I know how this goes with built cars, you never get back your money and I know this price is probably high... but i am open to trades, offers, whatever :)
 
Lol.
If it was rhd I wouldn't give you much more than £4k. Also, how the hell is it a race car...

i didnt have any idea when I posted this.. so thanks for your opinion, i guess?

yeah jamie, you are not going to buy a a good condition STOCK car for that money here, maybe gaz_moose was right, it was a bad idea for asking sorry. What do you mean it is not a race car? Clearly the FIA has a different opinion since they let me compete on their rally events?

You asked for opinions man, that's mine. I, personally wouldn't pay much more than £4k for that spec.
Just because you have a FIA approved roll cage and related safety stuff, doesn't make it a race car in my book

OKay,thank you, I appreciate it. Maybe you think of 500-700 HP cars when you think of race cars. It's not just the safety stuff, the coilovers, the ecu, the brake system, the custom anti lag system... I dont have have wisefab steering angle, and i dont have 700hp because i was not building this for drifting. Apart from that the only thing I am missing, and was planning to get is a custom gearbox, and racing bushes.

Yeah here are some pictures:

Tbh most people have that spec on the road over here and never go near a track! You wouldnt get what your after over here for that as its not hugely specc'd with the greatest of respect mate. Again 4-5000 gbp would be fair if not the best to expect as its not even a forged build either
Just my opinion bud no offence!

Yeah, thanks mate. There is a HUGE difference then between the UK and the continet then haha. Here you can buy a top condition stock car for 7000-8000 euro, but you can see some stok cars selling for 11,000 euro... The bad thing is I cant really find any other big european forum like this!
