Yes Piggaz has offered the car to me but it’s big money and is worth what he’s asking.

Hmm, I’ve already got a custom surge tank, 2 billet filters and $2500 worth of fuel pumps for the S15, and some earls ultrapro Teflon lines and fittings. I think 50% of the outlay is done for it.

I would just have the S as "becauseracecar" for abusive track fun, and the 33 as a clean streeter that lives in the garage and comes out only on the occasional weekend.

And I would pick one, and finish that first, me, I would just get the GTR working first, at least that way, in a worse case senario, you can sell it and not lose a ton of cash.

Actually, I would try to keep the GTR as close to stock(ish) and unmolested as possible, you have the S for a race car with holes and shit.

But then, I am old and boring now.

dont want to think about all this car Jazz it’s just dollars dollars dollars seriously, I’m overwhelmed lol

its so much more fun being in the mix and chasing women

moral of the story is for anyone thinking about doing a don mega GTR build you need to be a don millionaire. Cheaper and better to be the don womaniser ?

You know what they say, if it's got wheels or tits...

You know why they name cyclones after women? 

Because they come in all hot and wet and leave taking your house and car...

^^^ This...

I did exactly this 2-3 years ago when 32 GTR prices start heading north...

The GTR is the weekender I'm slowly resto modding and the the S15 is the 'budget' racecar...

You haven’t even scratched the surface, whipper snapper. You’re in for a world of butt hurt with your wish list. ?

A look into the future after you get the next invoice.

Should put your money into proper investments instead of burning it on cars which to be fair, either depreciate like crazy or appreciate very slowly with no access to equity.

Well to be fair everyone was on the house bandwagon and look what happened to that...

I predicted the crash 3 years ago, wish I had the know-how to of 'shorted' the market lol

It's not rocket science. My wife and i sold our house about six months too soon. I've since spent most of the money we made on GTRs... lol. (not really, I'm still lookin for a new investment, thanks cash rate gettig destroyed... )

Also I'll add, no one believed me. People were incredibly rude when I attemped to explain why i expected house prices to dip. Some of my family were the worst. So its not all sunshine and rainbows. [emoji848]

The so called "crash" didn't really crash in South Western Sydney, just depends on areas which needed a correction rather than anything else.

Lower socioeconomic areas seem to maintain their value albeit haven't increased either.

I dare say it's a great time to buy, I would too but I'm at close to 80% LVR lol

Oh man, the neighbour has enough guns for everyone. 

His face when I said I owned zero guns and had no interest in getting any was very obviously one of "but... what do you mean?!" whilst trying to be polite lol
 

Sounds like your neighbour has a brain the size of a peanut and probably the type to have never left the country on any holiday (Indo/Bali is not leaving the country, it's just an unofficial extension of bogan Australia).

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
