I like cardano as a project and wish them all the best, there might be money to be made short term, but when the project team dont give a shit about price, want to deploy it to very very poor nations, are academic focused, took 5-6 years to get the fundamentals where they wanted it, and aim to keep it as cheap as possible... doesn't spell well for long term investor gains.

it fluctuates, but my 1080 & i7 8400 are churning out ~$100aud/month if left on 24hrs. That's with BTC price hovering like it has for the past 13 weeks. But since a recent update, seen a 20-55% increase in payout. I think its important to come up with a gameplan for each cycle. I've learned a lot in the last 6+ months so hopefully can apply that next time and during the bear market. Planning on buying a house later this year... so sadly will have to liquidate a lot. Using crypto as collateral for loans or mortgages is even closer than people think... I'm annoyed no one will accept anything other than house equity as collateral. That shit is sooo 1980's.

So I have 3x "categories" 1. HODL 2. big boi plays 3. speculative stuff 1. mostly in cold storage (BTC, ETH). Around 25% on Blockfi generating 6% in the native token (BTC, ETH, LTC, ALGO). Also mining on my home PC most of the time using NiceHash and then dumping that BTC onto Blockfi. 2. Plays in large caps, mostly ETH/BTC. I sold a bunch of ASX stuff in April and poured it into ETH. Started selling it into BTC today, with first price target at 0.0755, got a few more targets above 0.10. BTC is estimated to peak in a few months time, so will take some profit there, potentially move back into large caps (ETH, LTC) because there is a decent price history based around the halving. 3. Got random alts on KuCoin & Bittrex. I like, but dont necessarily own, COMP, RUNE, Chainlink, ALGO, XRP (because of the price swings), AAVE, MATIC, POWR. Just buy when it looks good, sell when it's pumped. Not always quick or easy but it's just play money. Got some USDC on polygon trying to suss out Defi over there and the yield farming. Wish I'd been aware of this stuff in early 2020.

the key word is "bunch". if i had kept it all in BTC i would be doing well. But pissing a lot of it away on altcoins was no.1 mistake and we're seeing everyone do the same thing now. I knew that a lot of development and changes would come during the bear market, but I should have stayed in the loop the whole time. Learnt about traditional markets over 2020 and all I learnt was that its all shit compared to crypto lol in both a returns perspective and "greater good" perspective. Pro tip: you're not crypto rich if you have to cash it back out to fiat.

Held a bunch of stuff from 2017, went heavy btc, eth & ltc since October and earning interest on them. Sold my alts too early... thought most "old" low cap coins would die in the ass. That was a poor prediction lol I think ETH will pump hard before BTC takes off. So trying to make the most of that trade. I've got a bunch of charts and metrics I follow, so plan to cash out fairly conservatively August-September and buy back in next year or later. https://www.blockchaincenter.net/bitcoin-rainbow-chart/ If BTC hits sub-$35kusd in 2022, ill be all over that. Also trying to learn yield farming via polygon. Its a bit late to jump on that train, but its more about learning how to use it rather than making bank. I pulled almost everything off the ASX, theres a new financial system being built on crypto and it will eat the world. Chainlink, Cardano, Algorand, Ethereum have already started.

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.

holding for 5 years worth it for that 5sec window at the top.

this post aged well. looks like a wait until 2022 for a decent GPU at MSRP.

"until it isnt" ? Even if you took the lowest bitcoin price of every year and drew a line joining the dots... it would still be outperforming every commodity and most companies over the last 10years.

who needs cars when you can have crypto

I nominate @acsplit for Pres & @Steve85 for an executive position if any of the previous committee are not interested in continuing the role.

Asset prices for basically everything is on the rise globally. Collectibles included, like cars. So its not just a japanese thing or a covid thing.

I don't know whats funnier, your posts or the dreamboats asking $30k+ for a 33GTST. Meanwhile, the elusive 33 4 dour auto finds itself in an exclusive dealership... https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1995-nissan-skyline-gts-t-r33-auto/OAG-AD-19417871/?Cr=12

I had a lot of issues with my Logitech G27 with Assetto Corsa, but I friend got me onto LUTGenerator to fix the issues. Haven't tried it yet. Its hard to find a decent racer (with decent UI) that supports VR. Project Cars2 runs like absolute garbage in VR.

If you do some googling you will find a lot of americans discussing Eibach, Tein & (more recently) Swift Springs. I looked around some more and can't find any of those products, likely discontinued. Lowering springs for 350Z or V35 will probably fit the rear on Y34, but I can't confirm. The front is unique and I think only shared with the Y33. There is a "lowering perch" for the rear spring that you can find sometimes on yahoo auction or croooober second hand, but they're rare. Coilovers is the easiest option for lowering front and rear.

That's really cool, thanks for sharing. its awful to play lol, but a cool relic.

That's because anything with a GT badge is bought almost completely by speculators, who have sucked enough dealer caulk to be favoured on the delivery lists. SO many of their cars in europe get sold multiple times with delivery kms on them. Therefore, Porsche doesn't make the same money on parts and servicing as comparison to.... MB's AMG division or BMW's M, for example.

I really think Vspec is just a joint where people store their GTR's and maybe use them once or twice, but advertise them for stonks. If it sells, great, another sucker. If it doesn't, oh well, its an asset to add to my collection of crumbling new apartment buildings.

No, the world has gone desperate for more "driver orientated" cars. At a "reasonable" price tag. and is also "reasonably" practical. FYI straight piped 3 cyclinders sound nuts, so these could sound pretty good.

Well it depends on what sort of work you want done and how much you're willing to spend...

Surprised no one has brought it up yet considering the amount of turbo threads around. https://www.thedrive.com/news/36636/turbocharger-manufacturer-garrett-files-for-bankruptcy Not saying the company won't be bought out, maybe it will. Could be a very different company. Either way, (decent) performance turbo options just got a lot more limited. I would have thought Honeywell would have kept them going through hard times, seems like the opposite happened. Not going to be surprised if in a few years there's a sudden surge of demand for "period" correct GT and GTX turbo's to go with people's increasingly priced japanese resto-mod builds. I mean, somehow T88 & T66 turbos still have a market.

I love everything about the exterior and interior EXCEPT for the front bar and headlights. and I'm less hopeful a bodykit can fix it. I'm a negative ninny, but the VR twin turbo is too much of a pain in the ass. Needs big real estate and nissan never have enough engine bay room. Just look at the Q50 red sport: 2x charge coolers, engine oil cooler, radiator, gearbox cooler. so much space just reserved for battery and those silly wall things, just to not have 3-way strut bars. I don't know how new euro's do it, but this is too shitty for me. My single turbo VQ is bad enough. As much as this car is appealing on paper, it's gonna be too heavy & complex for me. Nissan needs a 86 competitor IMO.

Best of both worlds: get an old suzuki 4WD or something? Any 25+ yro 4WD is going to need decent work to get "nice", might as well stick japanese. Really surprised at the lack of traction with mech LSD and decent tyres... Usually its more to do with power delivery. I guess older japanese engines generally had mid-torque/top-end power, while modern cars are all about the low-down torque/mid-power. 160fwkw on the pulsar was fine, but also had big cams so not much off the line. Obviously 200+ can smoke tyres if you just mash the pedal.

what are you gonna get instead? Just saw the megane came in GT wagon... didnt know that.
