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

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
