Before yor freak out too much - put it into context.

How mch does the average (say used $20k) Falcadore devalue per year? Maybe $2k? The imported SKyline is unlikely to be much worse.

Also - if you are anything like me, the cost of mods over your few years of ownership will probably far outweigh the cost of devaluation.

Bottom line, if owning and driving a Skyline makes you happy - keep it.

If you are going hungry and/or are about to be divorced, kicked out of the folks house, locked up for not paying speeding fines etc - then sell it.

Well that's what I thought would happen! But it seems not so far! Someone said that the GTRs in Japan were going to be giong up in price because they knew about the Aussie 15 year thing :confused:

Ahhhh well stuff it I like my car I'm gonna keep it :P

I wouldnt worry dude. As I said in another thread the whole 15 year thing is going to be changed to 20 years to prevent all the good stuff coming in. The quality of the '89 stuff will be pretty low, I mean how good is a GT-R going to be after 15 years of caning?

PS I waved to you yesterday

R31 GTS imports are not a lot cheaper than R33 GTSs ($15000 v $20000) so don't panic. HSV cars drop in value the price of a R33 GTSin about 3 years so spot the Dick heads.

A mate wanted a Jash GTR a while ago and needed to sell his

HSV to buy it the car is better than new condition and Colin

could not get 1/2 new price so a 20grand R33 GTS could be

burnt in 3 years and still not loose as much as a Heavy Slow Vehical

yeah but steve the GTS R31s are relatively rare and are collectibles, whereas the 32 GTRs are still fairly prolific.

one of the biggest differences in the prices is related to the difference in the processes required for import.

So do you think they will change it to 20 years?

The people who buy cars now will be pretty pissed!

PS I waved back but couldn't get my hand up through the gap in the window quick enough and you had turned your head back :P

PPS I like that Stagea! :P :burnout:

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
