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.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
