so ill decide when i get back... probably not something perforamnce, ive almost had enough... a 4WD maybe? have to wait n see

Hmmm sounds like what i did....almost got a 4WD too :-)

But now i really miss my car.... wasnt anything overly fast (14.0sec), but was fun to drive and looked ok as well. So im on the hunt soon for a new car :-)

BTW Sorry this is off topic

Haha Jash - my parents tried to get me to appreciate HSV's as theyve always owned them - obviously their evil brainwashing didnt work on me haha

Back to the topic: All cars depreciate - they arent the best investment, but we all dont want to lose our money too quickly either. JimiH the fact that your R32 is quite unique to look at - u have working in your favour :P

most of the SAU vic members seem to be wanting an R32 GTR over the coming 12-18 months.. so if that is any indication get ready for an onslaught of people wanting R32 GTRs :) hell, i am even considering one next year (although a 92 or something)

i think R32GTR's will hold around high-20's low 30k's no matter how the import laws changes things.

I think we'll just wait and see. ATM I just can't justify $25K for a 15 YO R32 GTR. Yeah it's a dream car but it's still 15 YO.

As far as HSV's go a guy at work is looking at a GTS300 thingy second hand. There $93 K new and $53 a year old with 20K on the clock and 3 year warranty !

Last time I complain about depreciation.

The rule looks like its gonna change so you may be buying $15000

wreckers. R32s will become classic very fast as thay ere the only

true Godzilla.

The 300kw Commonwhores are only making 248rwhp here and

the 255kws are making 240rwhp so something fishys going on

the best 300kw went 317 with NOS- Heavy Slow Vehicals-

We got an R33GTS up to 255rwhp today @12psi, Per4manz intercooler,full exhaust,and a power up bleed valve. HSV Predator.

i might just step out of this one...every thing you've written is just a bunch of letters to me. i've read it and read it and i just don' t understand it :confused:

The Aussie distributed ones are easy to tell agreed, the inner circle of the inboard tail light does have the orange indicator in it, I know I own one and love the beast. In a town full of HSV's haven't found anyone willing to have there nose rubbed in the dirt yet.

PS Does anyone know where I can get hold of a original D/S floor matt, the whole car is dead stock bar the floor matt and I want to keep it that way.

Please let me know you guy out there in Skyline land

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
