Just bought my tickets and was wondering, what would you do if you won $100M?

625 x R35 GTR @ $160K ea.

5 x A380 @ $20M ea.

1666 x R34 GTRs @ $60K each

Besides the usual buy a big house, a few expensive cars, own business or retire and never work etc..

I'd have the usual plus an A380, R34 GTR, R35 GTR, probably a lambo or ferrari, private jet and helicopter, invest the rest into building my own brand of something..

I wouldnt tell a soul, not even my wife lol

...until AFTER the divorce settlement - and THEN claim the money? :P

Aaah, the dog (man's best friend) will love you - no less & no more than - after your win!

Daily: Evo 9 or X

Towcar - unsure yet!

Nice trailer and do the 33 up like crazy, money no object - mmmmmm

Would get a nice block of land and build a nice house - have been planning a house for a while heh, big garage/workshop with mezzanine office

I'd keep working, I enjoy what I do too much, but I wouldn't have the worry of losing my job.

Might spoil family, but everyone owns their houses already so a bit hard to do!

Buy a lot of property - good long-term investment.

Start up a trust-fund for kids when I have them, but never tell them we own all these houses and stuff. So when they turn 25, there's a bunch of money (100k? if they're buying a house, 250k?) - dependant on how high house prices have gone.

There's probably more, but that's a start.

Its funny how people talk about investing in houses and stuff like that, but when you look at it, even if the bank will only offer you 0.5% p.a. return interest on your 100mil, thats 500K that you earn in interest every year, and even if the government takes 50% in tax off that, i could still comfortably live off 250K a year without the headache of worrying about where my money was being invested into.

Even after a few years you will run out of things to buy or spend money on, unless you just start buying rediculous shit that you will never need.

I'm kinda with Damien on the whole live off the Interest thing..

Though with 100mil you could easily hire other people to manage your money for you ..So you still would do nothing , just sit around and watch the money roll in..

I would no doubt buy a nice plot of land somewhere ,10-20acres at least. Maybe start up a little hot rod shop or something from home and spend my time traveling around the world finding/buying rare cars and parts and building my own customs. Create my own brand then sell them, not so much for profit but for my own entertainment.probably build a race car or 2 as well. :D

I'm assuming last night has jackpotted again then cause I didn't win it. :(

I mean i would definately have the house on nice land, a couple of nice cars and help the family, but i wouldn't just blow my money on shit i didnt need like 2million dollar jewel encrusted rims for my blinged out hummer or shit like that.

Even though you'd have the money, you'd still have to keep it real and be down to earth.

Too much money messes with peoples heads.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
