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.

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).

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
