Throwing Ideas Around...

[Dee 33]

Hey guys.

I have an 1994 S1 R33 which I purchased stock for $17.5k 2 years ago which now has aftermarket turbo, wolf3d, fmic, zorst, stock injectors running 16psi (limited by injectors) and some other minor boltons and pulls about 230-240rwkw. Body is stock with just skirts and a front bar. 130'000km. All engine mods done a year ago at a total cost of $10k. Work performed at W.A.S.P and tuning done at PITS on the Gold Coast. Interior, perfect condition. Exterior, plain but good condition. Mechanically, perfect condition - the tune and mods are amazing. Smoothest dyno graph I've seen and never ever backfires or misses a beat.

However, I now have another car and I'm considering the possibility of selling the R33. I'd like to get 20k for it as it stands and I'm willing to wait to get a good price. I know you can get cheaper, but apart from not having a kit and wheels, mine is perfect. But..... the car is not at it's potential as the injectors are really holding it back and for an additional $2.5-3k I can have injectors and cams installed (with a retune) which "should" bring it to 18-20psi boost and around 260rwkw (or more) with much better low range as the 460hp T04e is a little laggy (full boost or 16psi 3500rpm). The problem is, Skylines are becoming so much more common and thus their value is plumetting and so I'm not sure if I should just sell it now and hope to get $20k (even 18 if I absolutely have to) or if I should just go for the mods and sell it later where it will stand out more from the crowd rather than being just your average 200-230rwkw Skyline, but have depreciated in value.

The whole point of this is that I have another nice car and I'm planning to get a property in the near future.

It's just so confusing though. I really don't know what I want and I'd like any opinions on whether it's worth selling now or modding now and selling later (at which case it will owe me around $30k). Also, do people think I'm dreaming hoping to get 20k? What could I get for it if it had the mods and was pulling 270rwkw?

For what it's worth, the other car which I just bought this week is a Suzuki Sierra with a 4AGE 20v and another $5k worth of mods on top of that. Do I need two cars? Not really. But the Skyline is such a great car. This kinda thinking hurts
