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.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
