  1. I did on my driveway should be straight. I got some photos here: With picture 3, I might have held it upside down so keep that in mind but generally it's showing as image 1-2, and you can see some red fluid towards the full line.
  2. I let my Subaru impreza 2.0 ltr automatic 2001 sedan get to operating temperature (or I shouldn't be using this as a measure for the tranny?) and it was idling and was showing transmission fluid is low (apparently wasn't running for long enough), there are no leaks and when I drove it to the shop which took about 10 minutes or less, I checked a few times and the level seemed fine, but when I got home it was low. Seems like the reading is constantly different, I checked on another car I have at home and similar story. I also put the car in neutral and hand break up. Any ideas?
  3. Do you mind if I asked, who you insured with? All the big guys like NRMA, Alliance, etc have the EXACT same car value estimate system, it's like they just borrowed it from each other lol. Apprently a silvia is worth 13k or so. Muppets.
  4. I don't know how you managed to do that. you must be 40+ excellent driving record and car garaged all the time lol
  5. ah ok thought so, cheers. I just was thinking about insurance and did one quote and they couldn't give me one, fml. I tried shannons a while back and they are complete rip off, wanted a few thousand dollars to insure a silvia s15 turbo. Unless i get 3rd party but not worth it probably for a 30k+ car if its NA silvia for example
  6. Just wondering, if they are with a different bank, it might take a few days for money to go to their account, do they usually want to wait until that money is in their account or does the bank just give them a receipt? Also with the papers, correct me if I'm wrong but there is only 1 paper they need to give me which is the rego paper?
  7. Thanks mate. I'd be more than happy to do D haha. Now just hope I don't get screwed over lol. I did have the idea of taking it to a track. The guilt would eat me alive if I were to crash someone elses car lol.
  8. Ah thought it might be the purple one so you're selling the silver one to? I love r33's with the gtr spoiler, the silver one looks sexy. The purple would probs look even better if it had it + the gtr front bumper
  9. Thanks for that. Just curious what car you got? Seems like a skyline of sorts? you have some rb25det threads. Feel free to DM me a pick or two then once I'm ready I'll ask more questions. Don't want to ask you too many questions so I don't waste your time if I change my mind.
  10. Hey all, So I want to buy something like an r33 or a Silvia in the future, though I had some questions and needed your thoughts on some stuff: Driving manual - I've only driven manual a handful of times in my old Silvia and it's been 2 years roughly since I've driven it, if I've got no one to go with me, do you think it's a bad idea if I get the owner to do the test drive given that he does the tests that I ask him to do, like for example shifting at high rpm to make sure there is no gearbox crunches? I was thinking of getting a couple of manual lessons again if i decide to test drive it. The paperwork & paying them - When it comes to paying them, cash will be too much so I'd rather go to the bank and transfer them the money. I was worried about it getting stolen or some crap after signing the paper work, should I get them to bring the car to the bank with me and we sign the paperwork in the bank after me transferring them money onto their account? I'm worried about potentially getting screwed over. Also when it comes to the paper work, from memory i sign one half, they sign the other, and i keep one half. is this correct?
  11. Hey guys so I checked it out and everything is sweet. Air filter dry as a bone, oil at exact same full level and isn't milky, coolant fine as well. Didn't bother to check transmission will assume its fine. Won't be doing that again lol.
  12. Thanks also btw all, you guys are always helpful & quick, is always appreciated.
  13. Yeah the car didn't stop or turn off, just lost power in the water.
  14. Yeah it did, no issues. Will check tomorrow morning, really don't want all those years of looking after my engine to be wiped out in 5 minutes by my own stupidity, haha.
  15. Not sure, I think less than half my wheel
  16. I was an idiot today and I drove through water on this road section, I didn't have much room to go around, and as I got into it my car did lose a bit of power but after that it was fine and got home without any problems, car drove as normal.I thought my snorkel was on the top but it seems like it isn't. My car is a 2001 subaru impreza N/A? I was going to check the air filter tomorrow to see that it didn't go into the engine, and make sure my oil isn't murky. Is there anything else I need to consider? I did think about taking out spark plugs except if the oil looks clean then there shouldn't be water in the combustion chamber, and especially since I drove home without any problems after the water.
  17. Hey man, it seems that most people put a stand on the pinch weld? The photos I attached there are 2 of pinch welds, the first one looks a bit weird but doesn't the jack stand go in-between those 2 notches? Also that third picture I was going to lift it from there what I saw on some channels but it looks thin?
  18. So I'm going to change the oil for the first time myself, and I understand the jackstands can go on the pinch welds, though I can't find for the front of the car where to start jacking it up. The owners guide doesn't say anything about it. I was thinking to jack the car from the chassis rail then put the stand on the pinch weld but I heard with unibody construction cars that the rail will bend if I do that. My car is a 2001 subaru impreza rx sedan.
