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.

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
