im just weighing it up. go for something slower, more comfy and newer and slap an exhaust only on it, and never worry about it again.

or keep modding the skyline lol, il have to spend the extra cash to buy the r8 anyways. so what to do :)

Depends why you are changing, just because its newer? Or are there other factors such as work km's, lack of police attention, insurance, reliability etc. Also what do you want to do with it such as compete?

I think Phunky Monkey on here has a V8 Clubby, could be worth a PM to him but helpful to know the reasons behind wanting to change first.

whats your financials like?

Reason i ask is - If you plan to keep the hsv for the next 3 years, think about resale value, think about the trends, and think about what you would want to buy in the next 3 years (eg house).

believe it or not they are reliable cars, and even if you get issues with it you can pick up a whole commo motor for 50 bux lol

my cousin used to have a vy clubby r8. drove it once, it flies there's no doubt about that straight line very few cars stood a chance. it had 295kw from factory.

handling is a bit of meh but its not like an R33 is a go-kart....

thing is, he bought it when it first came out and payed 70 grand for it from a dealer, about 6 months later he sold it to the same dealer for just over 50Gs lol thats alot od money lost. could've got more if he went private but didn't have time and had to sell.

BUT R33s are going down in value too....

      Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.

      Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now.

      Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
