need new shares tips.

oil is a dud for the moment, marijuana is a dud in Aus, im already in resources and just sold some stuff on iron ore highs, im in on afterpay incase it goes boom for some unknown reason, ive got some pharma stuff just idling.

need something new.
I'm assuming birds and leigh got houses and/or babies now so no more asx for them.

No 34 GTRs on carsales...snapped up by investors/collectors? The humble R33 GTS-T is a 20k+ affair for a decent manual example, as R33 GTRs move to a 60-80k average. Crazy times for the cars we used to nonchalantly cruise around in!

Those prices are about the same here in the States! The dealer where I bought my R33 GTST had an R33 GTR that was sold in under 8 hours for well over 50k US. And to think, I was seriously considering buying a GTR haha.

States are no doubt driving up our prices - wouldn’t surprise me if Americans snapped up the 34s we had here for sale.

Love your nickname by the way!

We absolutely are affecting the prices over there. With our pesky 25 year rule, more and more JDM classics are starting to make their way over and all the old fanboys (like myself) are scooping them up quickly! I can only imagine what an R34 GTR will go for when they become legal. 

I've already done my part by overpaying for a used and abused 25 year old car! So you're welcome. :3_grin:

*v-spec performance has entered the chat*
... im guessing they still have a stockpile of crazy priced Geedeearrs in their stockpile

Meanwhile, 77 new supras on carsales last time I checked. Almost all under 10,000kms. Seems nobody wants them.

I don't think it's time right now to go buying expensive fun cars. I noticed a lot more inquiries pop up about my Megane just as restrictions started to lift, now obviously all disappeared again.

New Supras are really nice and not much/anything better than it in its price range. The ... 1 .. weekend we could all go for a cruise I would have seen at least 20 of them on the road, and they looked great out there. Really made all the MK4's look dated.

Indeed it is. 

Covid wasn't that much of deterrent in terms of sales, that surprised me.

you say that, but im wondering if stealerships would be a lot more desperate for sales at the moment. Plenty of superseded or discontinued models sitting in lots.

French sporty cars getting a good wrap lately. Been looking at videos and forums on the new Alpine, people raving about it. Other than everyone's front windscreens cracking, everything else is praise.

buy my Megane

In all seriousness, they are great little fun cars. (the RS variants of stuff), incl the Alpine to a degree.

Criminally underrated. Everyone Raves about the Type R but ignores the Megane which will pants it and look 800% better. Could be because they aren't sold in the USA.

Ironically those new Supras will only help the MK4 in the same way the R35 does the R34...won’t be long until they’re worth more!

Hell even Toyota Soarers in good condition are getting up there. Only one manual upon carsales, for 25k...

Any '90s JDM cars are rising in value nowadays. Even garden variety WRX with trippy Brant keypad immobiliser, that one I'm shattered when I found out how much these are going for now.

Na, Renault Megane RS is decent piece of kit if you don't give two hoots about cupholders.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
