$ Value Of Genuine Gibson Motorsport Rb20det

[twins]

going back to that exhaust manifold. some might not think its worth $9k... and it probably isnt really. but where else could you get someone to make a single piece manifold like that with that level of craftsmanship and quality? i would say that maybe half that cost would be the most i would pay but then it comes back to the whole thing where it is a one off item. unfortunately that means that there is no real way to value this and its up to hooks and any potential buyers to work out what this is worth to them because this isnt going to pop up again any time soon.

a few years ago i worked for a company called DHS, they design and make the stretches etc for NSW ambulances as well as build the ambulances on site.

my point being.. there was so much development that went into making jigs for parts that your average joe blog would never pay any attention to. and this development isnt cheap, for what looks like a bunch of plates, bolts and nuts bolted together (albeit a very nice bunch of plates bolts and nuts) was well over 10k... i'd happily believe 9k was invested in developing the original GMS manifold.

i could go on but im hoping most here are educated enough to know where those costs go..

the key word here being "development" its never cheap, regardless of the whats trying to be achieved.

on topic, i would happily hand over a large sum of cash for an original GMS motor, they sound incredible, and it would fit nicely into my cefiro

....infact id prefer it over a 26 and defnitely over a 25..

@ R31Gun......Pretty sure that was Linton's way of get a response to Ash from me......you know those kids that used to stand behind the big kids in kindergarden shit stirring so they can get a fight started......same sort of thing......but some of us grew out of it!

yes it was... im a smart arse, im sorry for trying to keep this thread somewhat light hearted.

@Linton....didn't know there were sides....shit this sounds like I'm back at pre school.....I am also with Ash and others on some of what they say....shit even you!.....and I don't care how long I have know them.....nor do I really care if they know me or not.

no there are no sides... and it didnt matter who knew who, r31gun made that comment like it was important

Just to straighten things out....as you seem to have dropped a couple of silly misplaced comments in. e.g. Pin drop(I did smirk and mumble to myself shit stirrer though), weddings.....

im glad that you saw them as silly comments as thats all they are.

If you want to go and stir people into response's go then get some ball's and go the whole hog e.g. Tell you wife/girlfriend that she's got a fat arse while she's in the middle of her PMS cycle. ......make sure you video it for posting on youtube or Police evidence(Oh....not having a go a your wife/GF either as I have never seen her)

nooooooo bingo.... are you mad??

I have been an Industrial Designer on a CAD for 15 years and at no time have I ever been able to do or see someone else rack up a part design similar to the exhaust we are talking about in 30 minutes.....not even a day.....not to mention my hourly cost which I can tell you now is not cheap! I am sure HKS can make em.....how much though? For a one off?

is that your hourly rate that you get paid?? or the hourly rate your company charges you out at??

Wedding's and cars have nothing in common other than most of us will loose our cars as soon as the wedding happens......P.S. maybe you should not type you thoughts in future.

*insert thought here*

The $200(or has it now gone up to $1,500) of metal you have estimated may be correct.....but the hours your going to put into em is where the cost is......are you going to garrentee these will be able to glow red for six's hours without falling apart. If you are you should be working for a major motor sporting team as you are in short supply. Also I will want your details for future reference just incase our main set which has probably done more race hours than any other Group A in the world since 1988 get damaged (Yes thats right not fall apart get damaged).

it remains at around $200... i enquired about 4m of 2mm thick stainless pipe yesterday and it was around the $300 mark

Well, It's not that important whats its worth. Whats important is that it would sound fvcking intense at full song.

Glad someone else is as scared as his woman as I am!

I nearly posted this last night.....now that you have done it

Crank up the volume for a lap with an RB20....I never get sick of this sound.

[NZM.031]
