I'm on the fence on this one. I don't see the bulk of GT-R's being collectible, only some of them and only in certain condition etc.

As was said earlier, I'm more hopeful that I've got a car that's not going to depreciate substantially during my ownership. Breaking even with a car is no mean feat.

People buy not just for separate reasons or even single reasons.

People can have a favourite car for 2-4 reasons and furthermore, that combination of reasons can differ from many other mates'.

Yeah and only the rare limited edition Mustangs will become collectible..........

Now compare how many Mustangs vs GTR's there are. Something a collector of muscle cars pointed out to me a few years ago.

i can 1 up all of those..

AE86.

It's a f**king piece of shit. Look at the prices those things command.

They are not expensive at all.

A good condition, rust free and fully modded one, rear end conversion, full suspension, drive line, engine, exhaust upgrades etc can be had for $8 - 13k.

Cheap I recon.

not for a pop up headlight 86....

A good condition AE86, and by good I mean clean, rust free, no or decent quality basic bolt-on modifications, is more than $8k. You'd be lucky to find a basic original AE86 for less than $10k.

Just checked Car Sales and only two available. Both of them are close to standard with over 270k on the original engine, one for $10k the other $11k. There's one F/S on Gumtree with a few shit quality mod's and rust and the owner wants $10k. One on My105 for $15k - actually there's two, but the other one has been hacked to bits to fit an SR20DET.

A decent AE86, and by decent I mean clean, rust free, no or basic bolt-on modifications, is more than $8,000. You'd be lucky to find a basic AE86 for less than $10k.

Just checked Car Sales out of interest and only two available. Both of them are close to standard with over 270k on the original engine, one for $10k the other $11k.

and they are not pop up headlights!

Been half arsed about buying one for about a year or so and watched their prices closely. They are all about 8 to 15k.

Been eyeing this one for a while.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
