Default FS: 1999 Turbo GS300

Ok, I'm selling my car. It's a 1999 GS300 with a custom turbo kit on it. It's pearl white with about 85K miles. About 4K miles on the rebuilt motor. Here's what I got:

Turbonetics T3/T4 turbo
Custom Turbo Manifold
Custom Apexi Intercooler (Silvia core)
Apexi sequential BOV
Turbonetics Delta wastegate
Custom downpipe
Custom mid-pipe
Rebuilt motor with TT pistons/rods/head gasket
440cc Injectors
Apexi SAFC piggy-back ECU
Apexi Turbo Timer
Autometer boost gauge
18" Zenetti Mystics

I think that's it, but if I remember anything else, I'll add it in. I'm asking $22K for it. If you have a 99+ GS400 that you want to trade, we might be able to work something out. It has to have navigation though. Here are some pictures. PM me if you need more pictures of certain areas.

It dynoed in at 255 rwhp after I broke in the engine. That's at 10 psi and stock exhaust. I wanted to run a higher pressure, but my manual boost controller was giving me problems. Change out the exhaust and pump up the pressure to 18-20 and you should be about to hit 300+ no problem. I kept the stock exhaust on there because I like how quiet it is. No track times. The car has never been to the track.

Your asking price is really good, considering what you've done to it .... I don't think you'll have any problems selling it !! Good luck and nice set up !!!

So is no one looking to get a car or am I asking too much for it?

Any reason why you want to swap your faster GS300 turbo for a GS400?

Oh, my mom is in need of a car and she does not like having the turbo on there. Thus I have to sell it to get another car that she can drive and feel comfortable driving. She likes the looks of the GS, so if someone was willing to do a trade for a stock GS400, I'm sure something could be worked out.

I hear ya. Hell, I even hit 270 lb. plus on the dyno with srt/chip, borla, and torquemasters. Broke GS's numbers seem low for the psi.

Good luck with the sale, though.

I'm running the very restrictive stock exhaust that's holding me back a lot. Since I changed out the pistons and head gasket, I'm running a lower compression so I'd have to push more boost to get higher HP numbers as opposed to before I changed out the parts.

Okay, that makes sense. I might just have an interest; I settle with the insurance guys today or tomorrow on the red light runner who totalled my GS400.

If I get serious I will let you know.

I'm considering a G3, G4 and believe it or not, a cherry 71 280SE 3.5 coupe with a 4 speed.

I would, but I don't have the stock parts and I don't want to put more money into removing the turbo to put it back to stock. Now if someone's got a stock car...

I still don't have access to a digital camera, so for all the people that requested additional pics, bear with me for a bit.
