Depends on how much money it sets you back. Also, you've probably got to the stage where you've fixed all the little problems with your car. When you get a new car there's usually a few things you have to sort out, make sure you take this into consideration.

I'm not a fan of red cars, the paint oxidises (i think that's the terminology) and you end up having to get a respray usually a lot sooner than most other coloured cars.

its an r34, its not that old to have things start breaking... yet. get a compression test and check that its running 100% if the rest of the mechanicals check out too - then go for it.

you never make your money back on modded cars so i recommend selling yours and buying the modded one. it will save you money depending on how much the price adjustment is.

its only because red goes faster. the paint starts to peel from all the G's you pull. Ferrari have formulated a special kind of red that doesnt peal. look into it.

If everything is good on the white one then go for it. Like Simmo1985 said, there will be some things you'll have to get fixed up when you get the new car and could cost you.

Just check out the white car carefully and if most things are good then go for the swap.

maybe you guys misunderstood. his car is the red one. he wants the white. go for it mate if the adjustment is smallish then i think its worth it

I knew what he meant. I made the comment re the paint because I think it is one reason he should change to the white car. Less chance of it needing a respray anytime in next few years.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu 路 Posted

      BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 馃珷

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus 路 Posted

      I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha

      I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...

      But they do so for the other reasons to have a compressor bypass. It's in the name.
