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!

Shame as soon as they were released the Vic premier announced all cabs to be yellow aswel haha

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

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
