Mangs, scrackin?

Thoughts on S13 as cheap track car? Or any other suggestions, criteria; light, RWD, <$7500, cheap parts/aftermarket support.

Really pretty narrow criteria S13s or cheap 32s are my only thoughts at the moment. Not interested in 32 because f**k RB20s

S13. SR20s are decent and for plugs, coil packs etc it's only 4 not 6. Pads and rotors are cheaper. Good, nimble, light. Cheap parts = big plus.

Can probably even grab a s14 for that price, better brakes, no missing chassis parts ect ect. Great choice of track car

Finance question for Ants.

Say you were mortgage free and happy in the place you already owned (ie not wanting to upgrade to a bigger house) and had a bundle of additional cash available do you:

1) Buy another rental property, probably something along the lines of a townhouse or decent unit, or

2) Go for shares, or

3) Do term deposit thing, or

4) Other

and the answer is..............................................

it depends.

My thoughts / questions when regarding the above are as follows:

a) Is that bundle of cash enough to acquire another property or just enough to buy a small to medium share portfolio?

b) How quickly would like to access / return that investment into cash?

c) .Are you looking to minimise tax?

d) Or are you after short to medium term ROI?

My personal opinion..............I like investment properties (predominantly negatively geared) as they are effective tax wise and usually have a reasonable ROI and very low risk

Shares are not my thing....................but people that have the time and understanding of the share market can make very fast ROI and can be converted into cash fairly rapidly - can be highly volatile and command high risk for higher returns

Short-term deposits - for the conservative, however your ROI will already be predetermined and that can be handy for some - depending on the type of term deposit you choose funds will be locked away until maturity date - interest rates WILL rise before this calendar year is finished, whether that will warrant a higher term deposit interest rate is another matter

Another alternative to short-term deposits are MIT's (managed investment trust) which throw a combination of investments to allow a reasonable ROI whilst providing some hedging protection - pitfalls are the fees can be very expensive and funds can be locked away for quiet some time depending on the MIT's contract you choose.

There you go mate.

    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
    • Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
    • Brand was ard.   I also threw a brand new battery at it and beefed up the wire from the alternator to battery and added an extra earthing point from the battery 
    • Evening all,       I'm replacing some bolts on my RB25 with probolt Australia bolts.       Does anyone know the following, m5 m6 etc 10mm 20mm etc       Coil cover   Cam covers   Plazamaman fuel rail   Front cover (timing cover)   Etc   Any help would be awesome   Or any lists anywhere
