Hey guys.. just a general question... I'm thinking of keeping my 33 s2 in storage for about 30 years. Is it going to be worth anything by then? Any potential problems that could occur to the car during that time?

This is more of a ' I wanna dose in 30 years time and be unique by not driving a electric piece of junk' moment

It would need to go into a car cacoon or zero oxygen & mositure atmosphere. Otherwise it will just rot and rust.

As to what it will be worth - look at the early 70's XY fords. The GTHO & GT are worth alot, as for the base models - although they have increased in price over there original value, not enough to really make the effort worthwhile.

if they are in the right condition with matching numbers, etc. but there is also a lot less of them.

as for whether a skyline would be worth anything in 30 years, taking into account inflation, storage costs, etc, i doubt it will be worth anything, unless it is a rare model. and it would have to be in relatively standard condition.

having said that, the way things are going with cars, a 30 year old skyline wiill be like 30 year old cars now. nice, but slow by todays standards. most of the hot hatches of today will give a skyline a run for their money, and leave a 30 year old muscle car for dead (unless it has serious work done)

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
