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.

      Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.

      If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.

      Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.

      Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
