seems as though the new gtr suffers the same problems of its older brother blisteringly quick but ultimately uninvolving.oh well take enjoyment in the fact that while youre smashing everything else on track...i was going to add more but i think that bout sez it

Name a car that 'keeps' it's value?

You can pick up a R33 for 30K now that cost 100K when released. the Ferrari that its just a few seconds faster than (on that track) cost probably 300K on release and 200K or so now. (approximate, of course).

Ok so it's lost 70% of it's original value in what, 14 ish years. That's not holding its value...

Err, that's exactly what i said. "50000 pounds. Hasn't kept its value since then... (good or bad, who knows?)"

Compared to the ferrari, at least. My point is, you can get a car that's about as fast (in certain conditions) for a lot less nowdays.

yeah... nah, your wrong

Private Price Guide $104,700 - $118,800

both are worth about a 1/3rd of their original price, except if you bought the ferrari you would have lost triple the money :blush:

So obviously we need to all be rich and buy cars like ther Ferrari F40 and McLaren F1 which GAIN value.

I'd like to see top gear do a test like this now with newer versions of these cars... well an evo instead of the 3000gt.

One thing Id like to point out.

For a Ferrari of that price range, would only have about hmm 5-20k kms on the clock. If you have a look around, Most are Very low Kms.

Now if you did the same comparison to teh R33 for examlpe.? How much do you think you would have to payf or a R33 GTR thats only done a 'Genuine 15k kms'

My guess. 50k -65k or more?

^^^Dont they always :P

lol "teh GTR can neva loose!!" - it's a right call though, gtr's are uninvolving to drive. seriously, i've driven r33 gtr's that felt slow, and then it runs a 12 all day every day lol.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
