I'm on the fence on this one. I don't see the bulk of GT-R's being collectible, only some of them and only in certain condition etc.

As was said earlier, I'm more hopeful that I've got a car that's not going to depreciate substantially during my ownership. Breaking even with a car is no mean feat.

People buy not just for separate reasons or even single reasons.

People can have a favourite car for 2-4 reasons and furthermore, that combination of reasons can differ from many other mates'.

Yeah and only the rare limited edition Mustangs will become collectible..........

Now compare how many Mustangs vs GTR's there are. Something a collector of muscle cars pointed out to me a few years ago.

i can 1 up all of those..

AE86.

It's a f**king piece of shit. Look at the prices those things command.

They are not expensive at all.

A good condition, rust free and fully modded one, rear end conversion, full suspension, drive line, engine, exhaust upgrades etc can be had for $8 - 13k.

Cheap I recon.

not for a pop up headlight 86....

A good condition AE86, and by good I mean clean, rust free, no or decent quality basic bolt-on modifications, is more than $8k. You'd be lucky to find a basic original AE86 for less than $10k.

Just checked Car Sales and only two available. Both of them are close to standard with over 270k on the original engine, one for $10k the other $11k. There's one F/S on Gumtree with a few shit quality mod's and rust and the owner wants $10k. One on My105 for $15k - actually there's two, but the other one has been hacked to bits to fit an SR20DET.

A decent AE86, and by decent I mean clean, rust free, no or basic bolt-on modifications, is more than $8,000. You'd be lucky to find a basic AE86 for less than $10k.

Just checked Car Sales out of interest and only two available. Both of them are close to standard with over 270k on the original engine, one for $10k the other $11k.

and they are not pop up headlights!

Been half arsed about buying one for about a year or so and watched their prices closely. They are all about 8 to 15k.

Been eyeing this one for a while.

    • Do the following first and get back to us. - Clean and verify your IACV - Verify for vacuum leaks/post MAF leaks. (Pressure test is the best and cheapest way) - Do you have a BOV with stock ecu/MAF? If so, remove it.     
    • Hey all, The skyline I have is stalling when the engine is at normal operating temp.  When starting it while it is cold, it'll run just fine.  I have replaced the battery (bad cell), I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and clean the MAF sensor.  Any other suggestions?
    • Thanks for all the information on this.  I tried ordering the parts from Amayama website and all 3 Solenoids are discontinued and not available.  Does anyone have any other websites to suggest that I could find the parts?   Separate issue-- I will start a new thread, but basically the vehicle is stalling when warmed up.
    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including.
