China getting in on the action, oh dear... (for buyers). Good news for current owners though lel

I'd rather they stay out of our housing market, but don't mind them snatching up our cars. That being said...I thought the Chinese weren't the biggest fans of Japanese or Japanese paraphernalia :O

Yep, hoping prices plateau and come back down to a reasonable price for the condition. Between entering GTR ownership and first home ownership is seemingly equally as unrealistic for me right now

I managed to achieve both at once...but it hasn't been easy haha. One definitely affected the other. Also lamenting the days when I only had to pay one rego/insurance :(

I'm not a lover of why the Communist Chinese buy these things.
* Many are materialistic
* Many buy for investment or for collection value, rather than race them
* Many just want to deprive others (esp in USA) from having things
* Many are so power hungry that they want to win a WWIII by stealth - or use N Korea as collateral damage, whilst still supplying N Korea with coal, gas and oil
* Many see themselves as better than other races ie nationally narcissistic and bigoted

I have a much greater respect for the ROC aka Taiwan

I guess with my DNA, I'm permitted to say these things.
I see many Chinese lined up at ATMs at Casinos and it's pathetic

I'm 1/8th Chinese so I guess 12% of my time can be spent self loathing the modern practices of my ancestry :P

Problem is, being such materially driven creatures ourselves, everyone else is happy to sell to the Chinese for short term material gain over long term security...including our own government.

Have noticed a number of price drops on carsales in the last couple of days. The blue Nur has is down to 199 from 218 and the purple R33 down to 55 from 65 I think? Plus a few 32s down into the 30s and a few 34's under 80 now

allot of the unsold 32s are p.igs though. jumped on the price hike trend trying to make a buck. the nice ones are quite often still in the stratosphere.

 

also guys, are we really setting the word pig.s to switch to cops? im guessing thats funny these days?

Price of that blue nur has gone up and down like a yoyo. Was initially 188k. Would've been sold if it was a solid car. The other blue nur with white te37 from Carlingford, Syd sold reasonably quick. The asking was 200k.

This guy obviously knows what he's talking about  :4_joy::4_joy::4_joy::4_joy:

Genuine high quality GTR will always get good $ - might take a bit longer to sell - but it will always sell.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
