Your parents house? Sell your own damn assets

What assets? If i had my own assets why would i sell theirs. Plus we are going to get 2 homes and a monster car out of this sale, so its not really a loss as i see it. We might even make some money considering 2 homes go up in price faster than 1 home. The other option was to buy 2 homes, we all live in 1 and rent out the other.

Big difference between a unit and a house when your talking appreciation of an asset. But regardless of that who the hell would honestly expect such a rediculas amount from their parents? Selling THEIR home so you can get GTR is the most selfish and rediculas thing iver heard in a long time. Not to mention that a GTR isnt exactly a wise invesment of 60k. Tell me what do you do for money? Have you thought about the possibility of achieving these goals on your own two feet?

I know, but my dad wants it too, he loves cars just as much as i do, and i was just brining it up to see what reaction i would get, and i got a positive one, so im not exactly selfish, im not nagging or pointing a gun to their heads, if they had of said no i would have accepted their response. I work as a computer technician and run a business with my cousin. I can achieve my goals on my own two feet, but not as quickly as i hope lol.

Well youd appreciate it alot more if you got their yourself. But hey thats my 2c if your olds want to do that for you thats their decision... Though you better look after them in the future! Because they deffinately will deserve it.

We havent done anything yet, but its an idea. I know i will enjoy it more if i earned it myself so i might just wait since i already have a skyline (which i worked hard for :O) that can keep me entertained for the time being. Thanks for all your replys fellas :D

mate,

hire a hit man to bump the olds off. inherit the house and refinance to buy GTR and pay for hitman. easy. then you can have your cake and eat it. if your not squeamish you could even do it yourself and save a few bucks.

Of course if you do this then yes, you are definately crazy.

if they own the house, borrow against it to buy the car. banks can't give away enough money at the moment. but the smart thing to do would be to work hard and save for at least half of it. just remember the purchase price of a GTR is just the beginning. do date i could have brought another 2 GTR's with what i've spent on modding my 1 GTR

Kill? you're crazy for even mentioning that.

Anything that leads to debt and owing money to a bank is a no no.

Yes i know modding a GTR is an expensive task, which is why im not going to. Just incase i do decide to get a little crazy, what would the price tag be on a top secret fully built GTR? close to 150k?

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
