I love the old GTS-R...that's a car that has sustained its value beyond what it probably should have given people either like it or hate it. Looking at the yellow now though, it's such a faded yellow compared to Devil Yellow. The awesome part of these cars were the engines, all balanced/blueprinted and decked out with some serious competition gear...very undertuned from factory, lots of potential if you ever wanted good power out of one. What's wrong with the wheels Ash? Tri-spoke FTW!

yes $1.7million is practically double $900 000, but 1 000 000 euro is only about $1.4million AUD, that is very far from double of $900 000. I think you converted wrong.

No, i just converted in echange rates from a few years back. (when the holden itself was sold) The euro has gone to shit in the last few years. sorry for the misunderstanding.

It is not known whether Peter Brock’s 05 Nation’s Cup Poolrite 427 Monaro, also owned by Mr Ryan, has been sold. It is not included in the auction but he reportedly paid $750,000 for the car and once turned down an offer of $3 million.

FARK!

Thailand has pink cabs, as well as blue, yellow/green... and they look awesome (even though they are carolas), and they also have funny stickers on their windows....

Hahahah birds yeah I get it now, I didn't notice it was some sort of special monaro and if it is one of a kind I guess it is worth heaps. But there is no way it will hit 900k at the auctions whenever it comes up, 900k was way too steep for any modern holden car, no matter if its one of a kind or just a rare car. I could justifly that money on a one of a kind original monaro, but not a modern one (well not for the next 30 years untill it reaches classic classification). One off's are meant to go up in value, I fear it has already been bought at the higher end of the spectrum (unless another couple of seriously cashed up collector find it and battle for it).
lol its nowhere near twice as much.

More of their customers are cashed up like crazy, they have a world wide audience where as Holden is only Australia and New Zealand. If your someone that belives in statistics or trends to guesstimate prices, the odds say that 900k is way too much for what it is. Especially since it is a recent car. Recent cars even if they are one off's should never go for that much. I would have thought this cars value wouldn't have been much more than $300k, but then over time it would reach $900k. There are one off holdens from the 60's and 70's that are fetching half a million dollars today, but thats after 40 or so years of appreciation.

Frk I love being right all the time, the car got $295K and didn't meet reserve. Guess I was right and the rest of SAU was wrong once again :thumbsup:

Wow is that all it got up to. God that sucks for Chooka. Definetely a bad time to be trying to sell cars of that kind of value.

doesn't affect chook anymore, its the finance companies problem now. Chook probably hopes they get a low price just so they loose money for taking his cars away.

i'd be cheering if i was him, but i guess now he knows he paid way too much for a holden in the first place

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
