However, low chance of either, too much effort and money lol Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done... And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?

No Crust Racing Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Would be good in your car I reckon Johnny. Have seen reports they don't seem to love circuit use and sustained high RPM, but there's so many variables and implementations it's hard to tell fact from fiction. All that said, is it worth it in this car given how you feel about it? Probs not?

So swap an appreciating asset, for a depreciating asset? Also, there's a build on here where someone is towing there bike to the track using an R33...

Also, there's a build on here where someone is towing there bike to the track using an R33... Yep that is a factor for sure. I wonder how much further the gtst's can go. I wouldn't be surprised if they are relatively tapped out and only the GTR's continue to grow. But then again my crystal ball doesn't work too good. I've never seen a R33 towing a track bike, that is interesting though.

Those who cant drop silly $ on the GTR, will then start to drop big $ on the GTST.

The money they're paying, for crapy old Dattos, then having to scrounge to find parts (and, being Seppos, they simply MUST upgrade and/or factory restore every single part of the car within 2 weeks of buying the car!) is just silly.

They're a different breed of people buying these cars now, compared to how we view them.

Duncan Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 meh, buying a car is an emotional choice, the car makers started it and we all hooked onto it. But yes, people don't know what they are getting themselves in for buying an old car with all their available budget, then finding out that was only the start of the spending Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/468064-doses-sometimes-diy-and-pay-someone-home-boat-improvement-thread/page/187/#findComment-8002437 Share on other sites More sharing options...
