Hey guys.. just a general question... I'm thinking of keeping my 33 s2 in storage for about 30 years. Is it going to be worth anything by then? Any potential problems that could occur to the car during that time?

This is more of a ' I wanna dose in 30 years time and be unique by not driving a electric piece of junk' moment

It would need to go into a car cacoon or zero oxygen & mositure atmosphere. Otherwise it will just rot and rust.

As to what it will be worth - look at the early 70's XY fords. The GTHO & GT are worth alot, as for the base models - although they have increased in price over there original value, not enough to really make the effort worthwhile.

if they are in the right condition with matching numbers, etc. but there is also a lot less of them.

as for whether a skyline would be worth anything in 30 years, taking into account inflation, storage costs, etc, i doubt it will be worth anything, unless it is a rare model. and it would have to be in relatively standard condition.

having said that, the way things are going with cars, a 30 year old skyline wiill be like 30 year old cars now. nice, but slow by todays standards. most of the hot hatches of today will give a skyline a run for their money, and leave a 30 year old muscle car for dead (unless it has serious work done)

    • Definitely do-able haha. I will give it a try if the fuel pump hanger does not solve the issue. Just need to find some quiet time in the area, Malta is like a big city and I live right next to the main hospital so it is very busy during the day. I'll be installing it in about 2 weeks, found a garage that is pretty knowledgeable and has the necessary tools. This garage has worked on multiple builds, even for competitions. They even asked me to stay with, so I should be fine.
    • Just to add, I found the r32 gtr ecu the most forgiving, the r33 one would get the shits. 
    • For what it’s worth I drove my gtr for over a decade with gt-ss as a true daily after I pulled off the -5s, I had it engineered and went with stock ecu etc.  never skipped a beat.    I would only worry if you can’t get good fuel all the time in a tropical paradise
    • I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?
    • Yeah you can. Cable tie the gauge to a windscreen wiper, or run it into the car and hold it with one hand, or have the neighbour's kid run alongside and tell you what it says.
