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.

Well lads I start my new job on July 1st

I might bite the bullet and go back to a brasil for 2-3 weeks before I start the new gig

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).

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
