I fall into the category that money that's spent on anything other than making a car go faster or handle better is wasted money.

Well then you'll be very happy with what I've done to my Skyline convertible, V8 motor, Gtr brakes, multi link irs and still running the original seats and interior and steering wheel.

fill it with water and add some jets for bubbles.

You mean like a targer roof?

Skylines have sun roofs but that's about it.

Convertible Skyline's look shit IMO.

It certainly seems as if opinions are polarised within the ranks of Skyline owners; especially SAUers (with our insistence on maintaining a high quality chassis). But...

My hypothetical Q. is...

What if an excellent condition '99 R34 GT-R V-Spec had a market value to-day of $55K,...

What would you expect to sell the equivalent Convertible for ? ? ?

More money.

I notice with convertibles, you always pay more (new car).

More money for less metal and safety.

More money just for looks.

GTR wagon would have been better !!!

The Stagea 260RS is a GTR wagon.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
