Unhappy FS: Turbonetics kit for G35

It is with great sadness that i type this post... as of last week my whole world has turned upside down. i didn't think losing a good friend would hurt this much... last monday night i was in canada visiting a friend that moved there when he was 16 with his dying mother so she could recieve treatment from a specialist hospital. after her passing my friend continued to live in canada because he loved it there, plus the fact that he could drive his favorite car, an r33 gtr. on my last night there, last monday, i waited for my friend to pick me up from my hotel since he lived at his school. well he never made it to me, it turned out that he was speeding trying to make it early and he locked up his breaks while coming around a turn and plunged into a lake that was the side of the road with no roadblocks to stop him. the police actually told me that it was all his fault and that he had no chance because they found him still buckled in. as soon as i heard this i was crushed, i didn't know what to think on my plane ride home. i did alot of thinking and i reached the conclusion that life is to fragile to play around with especially in a modified car, so im selling my turbo kit plus everything else that i have modified my car with. im done with this street racing bullsh*t, i love life too much. it saddens me that this is what it took for me to open my eyes. sorry for the long post but i've had to deal with alot.

now the turbo kit has been on my car for around 3,500 miles and has seen one oil change at 3,000. the hot side of the turbo is a bit rusted due to miami weather but i will try to polish it to aleast get some of it off. all of the piping is heat wrapped but i can take it off at the request of the buyer. i will do my best to label everything and make installation as easy as it was for me. the kit is for a g35 and it comes with the wastegate relocation kit. i am asking $4000 seeing as this kit has hardly been used. if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. thank you

Sorry to hear about your friend. =( I had a buddy get shot and killed shortly after high school and that was my wakeup call. Sometimes **** just happens that nobody has control over.

Just because your car is modified doesn't mean you have to street race. Maybe you can keep it and go to the track or something when you clear your head?

I am so sorry to hear about your loss.
One of my good friends fell asleep at the wheel and was killed last month. It is a terrible thing to loose a close friend and no one should have to go through it.

Good luck with your future endeavors and the sale of your kit.
I would recommend waiting a little bit to be sure you want to sell it.
