Just like it got in the states its happening here, the intrinsic value of the vehicle has been overtaken by the mad money "collectors" pay and by collectors I mean people that by them as an investment and not for the pleasure of ownership. Sure if it was a race car with pedigree it might be there because its of historic significance but 120K for a taxi...I wont be bidding.

I wonder if sitting around and not being used would have any affect on all the rubber brake and suspension bits and the diff and gearbox bearings/gears etc?

I would hope the engine was run once a month and got to operating temp.

I still have doubts of the GTHO phase 3 reaching 700k at the sydney motor auction....

You better believe it there reaching near the million dollar mark now.

Bet it still has only 3 of 4 tail lights tho at best! That's bloody rediculous... If some bogan is willing to pay over 5 grand for a VL he deserves for the value to go down. GTS-R (NISSAN) will slowly go up. As much as a 32 GTR now a days... Give it 10 or 15 and they should be fetching over 35ish. Starts to climb pretty quick once they gain more and more Jap nostalgia. AE86 Sprinters in stock form r collecting as much as 12-13k aswell. Just gotta put ur GTSR in a bubble and have it detailed.

from the company I work with we see all the trends and with this car - there hasnt been much interest.

the wild violet with white interior and the 2 black ones from moffet which have history no doubt could get to that - but this one here, we have our doubts - however with auctions its anyones guess what the results will be ! :domokun:

A friend of mine was given a white HG monaro 350 by his girlfriends mother on the night he announced to the family that they were to marry. His fiance's mother later that night took him out to the back shed and said "there is something id like you to have" opened the shed and revealed the car to him from under its covers. The car had 3500 miles on the clock and was only ever registered once. Her husband had bought the car from the local holden dealer and soon after had passed away, his wife could not bear anyone driving the car her husband loved so much and used to pay the local dealer to come and service the vehicle in-situ. The catch for the deal of a lifetime was that the car was never to be sold. A couple of days later he appeared in it out the front of a local pub and emptied the place. It is incredible to see in the flesh as it looks smells and sounds like it was built only days earlier.

I HAVE to say it. Bloody rich bogans! This is the real problem with the economical boom! I really dont know if these high prices will last, not that I have anything to back that up, just a feeling.

And Im really not sure about GTRs etc being worth much in 10-15 years. I would think MAYBE the aussie delivered ones in good stock condition might be worth something. But they really dont have the same historical value over here, that and as they are quite cheap now, 18yos etc can have them, so it kind of takes that specialness away from them. Because thats the only reason these cars are 'worth' so much. Just people being so sentimental about them.

All that said, stuff property! Old falcons is where its at!

that was an awesome story by the way, hope the car didnt turn into a pumpkin at the stroke of midnight and the inlaw wasnt the fairy God mother... :( :(

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.
