  1. Selling my NISMO LMGT4 Omori/black edition wheels in 18x10.5+15 size. A genuine set of 4 that feature the machined/engraved NISMO logos (not stickers).

    These wheels are basically brand new - never been fitted to a vehicle or even been out of their original NISMO/Rays boxes. Have only opened the boxes to inspect for imperfections when I purchased them brand new from a RAYS distributor. They still have their dust covers and factory tags on etc.

    The plan was to fit them to my R33 GTR project car, but I am now selling that vehicle and so have no use for them. They are ideal size and offset for R32 (may need guard rolling?), R33 and R34 GTRs, and likely other Nissans that utilise the 5 x 114.3 stud pattern.

    Located in south east Melbourne, prefer pick up but can post at buyer’s expense.

    $5400 - not entertaining ridiculous offers.

    Thanks

  2. I’d been following the 400Z concept closely, with excitement, because not only did I love the look of it, but production was rumored to source the Q60’s 3L twin turbo engine…as well as being one of the few modern (and fast) sports cars to offer a manual transmission. Looks like they’ve stayed pretty true to the concept here.

    Who else is buying one? 😃

  3. Given benefit of the doubt, it could be one of these scenarios

    Her: “You still haven’t sold that damn car yet; get rid of it; we need to make room for a minivan”

    ”I put the ad up…see! Just haven’t had any bites yet.”

  4. One of the reasons R33 and the like are selling for what some deem “dumb money” is the same reason you’re struggling to find something you like this side of 40k...they were always an underpriced vehicle in my opinion. At 10k I was spruiking them the performance bargain of the century, now here we are!

  5. It is such an awfully unpredictable market but the instant trading at all hours of the day is a huge advantage instead of being slave to announcements and market opens.

    I had 10k of DOGE at 6 cents just trying to short term it for a couple grand when the Elon tweets first started hyping it...so I’m a little pissy right now having sold out of that when it wasn’t doing much. No one in their right mind would have stayed in with a substantial holding though...so well done to the insane people who did.

    Nothing in any market compares to potential crypto gains, long or short term. 
    If you had put a fraction of your 88E money in any crypto... gains would be laughable in comparison.

    I've drank the crypto kool-aid and theres no looking back.
    I've been tempted to sell the cars to fund more, but judging by how this bull market is going, I don't think I'll have to.

    88E is just one spec stock and going from 0.7 cents to 9.5 cents is potentially 13-14x your investment in the space of a few months - assuming perfect timing. My timing netted me about 7-8x return, which is incredible for any investment really.

    To get that or more out of trading crypto in most recent times, you’d have had to enter circa March last year and held til start of this year. I believe in crypto’s profitability short/medium/long and do invest in it myself with all those plans; some nice wins so far, but 88E still leading my revenue. I’m not so quick to discount the profitability of spec stocks and being tangible investments.

    What coins/tokens are you in?

    I have thought about cashing in.  Got as far as writing up the ad, was going to ask for 27k but just couldn't bring myself to actually put the ad up. It came down to what would be a worthy replacement that could do everything the GTST does and put the same smile on my face. I couldn't come up with a worthy replacement for that sort of money, so it stays. 

    Pretty much why they’re worth that now.

    I haven't daily'd mine for nearly 2 years now. Been rocking a Mini Cooper S.

    I miss driving it, I may just start dailying it again so it can be enjoyed. 

    What's the point of owning it, if I'm hardly ever driving it. Although prices have skyrocketed, they're still just a GTST shitbox.

    As far as insurance, enthusiasts seem to be a fair bit cheaper than shannons and do decent values.

     

    I have a similar mindset...I mean I love my car but to me it’s still the 10k car I bought 12 years ago. They’re not worth 25-30k to me. I guess someone who never owned one or someone who has a lot of cash to burn might see it differently. The sentimentality keeps me from parting with it, but it is nice to know that if it gets stolen then I’ll be decently compensated for it.

    I tried with enthusiast and they were around the same price as Shannon’s, but they were happy to insure for a little more. I went with Shannon’s because I’ve never heard bad about their claims process and they have multi policy/vehicle discounts which will help in future. Their excess is also only about $650 versus others that make you pay more for being a Skyline.
