Wow!!

wouldnt have thought 6 figures.....

I know there was one at an auction few months back - had around 50k on the clock and was around 50k - I think it actually got passed in!

I still dont belive these cars will get much more value as opposed to the 70's muscle cars.

it will go big, mainly because of Peter's recent death. apart from the cool history aspect it's a pretty average car though >_<

give me the plastic pig group A walkinshaw any day thanks. :(

i spoke to a guy who paid $150,000 for a walky with only 1200kms on the clock.

these aussie muscle cars values are getting a bit out of hand now.....

dont even have to be muscle these days

even a stock 250 xw 3 on the tree in average condition is pulling over 5 k these days

pity it can NOT be a genuine original as delivered by GMH as stated or it would NOT have the infamous polariser on it

Brock added them after they left GMH

you should re-read the section "PRESENTS AS IT DID ON DELIVERY IN 1987 FROM HDT. "

I'm gonna win lotto, buy it and enter it in the burnout comp at summernats just to piss off the purists. :P

Seriously, it shits me to see ads like that. Bloody thing was built to be driven, not make some anal retentive halfwit rich :(

Pity GTS-R's arent worth that lol

There accouple in unique cars between $100,000 and $110,000. FUnny thing is 6 months ago they weren't werth 1/2 that. Dad has Gts-R #68 and almost sold it for $45,000, and he thought he was doing well. He's glad the sale fell through now.

there was a fella in gympie that had an origianl monaro that he sold for 6 figures. he sent it down to auction in brissy or sydney with a reserve of something stupid like 75k just for shits and giggles and it ended up going for well over 100k. he had owned it from new and still had the original receipt from holden for it.

but that is because they can turn them into replicas of the phase 2. but if you go and buy a dirty old torana you won't get that much for it unless it is 1 of the classic ones.

mad - was that the yellow one sold at the sydney motor show auction last year?

sounds like it!

the next most common thing is for people making/building/buying replicas

replica XU1's, SS hatches, GT's etc etc etc people are starting to buy them which of course, people who already own them think that there cars should be worth more..

Are you talking the VR/VS GTS-R from holden or the Nissan HR GTS-R?

They were a nice rare model aswell

(i was talking the Nissan hehe)

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
