I would buy a locally delivered Infiniti FX instead. Pretty much the same thing with less insurance and parts hassles and a lot less chance of odometer tampering.

Hate taking my cars anywhere, have had more damage done by shops than care to remember. Even my most recent visit to a tyre shop resulted in chips and rattle gun marks on all four wheels. Complained to the manager who was willing to hear me out but left it as I didnt want them pawing at the car anymore or offering shit fixes that would make things even worse. Panel shops are my biggest pet hate. Orange peel, buffer marks or buffer damage on trim, overspray, sinking filler with under paint scratches, broken clips, loose piece of trim, fisheyes, visible paint edges, poor colour match, list goes on. Of all the panel work I had ever done, I was only happy twice.

35 bucks for 5 litres full synth 10w-40 Nulon. My tractor spec SR has a much quieter top end on the stuff

If its been 6 years since the ceramic was applied and the car has been driven regularly, its all gone by now. Probably time to re-do it. Proper coatings wont be removed if you put other products over the top, but you will probably waste the products as they wont stick to the ceramic. Best to use a specific cermaic booster spray

And that warranty is completely worthless. Read the fine print and you will see how bad it really is.

I would say give the tracker its own hidden lithium battery+charger that will turn on from the ACC curcuit. Bonus security if the car is ever pinched and battery disconnected

The flashes are described here. In your case it looks like shift solenoid B at fault

i found this thread useful when i had my r34:

That reminds me of a gunmetal S1 Ti that belonged to a granny with less than 30,000 on the odo. She wanted 4k for it, should have grabbed it, was museum spec besides a dent in one of the doors

drivers seat appears to have a lot of human slime on it. id have that shampooed asap

Bubble will burst. Once all the Youtubers and Instgrammers are done with them and move onto some more *EMOTIONAL*

Looks a bit unfinished - the nice cross stitches are missing. Not my cup of tea tbh

Both cars have done 150,000+ just by looking at interior pics

These cars are not being bought by people who actually want them. They have become part of the investor/flipper market, for people with deep pockets who simply look at potential future profit and nothing else

stop using the key immediately, lock it up in a safe and only handle with white cotton gloves

Life is short, try something new... I'd buy the 370 if I was in your position

I doubt the quality is getting higher, sellers are just asking for more cash and willing to wait longer

My old 34 had a poor connection between positive battery terminal and fuse box. All crank and no start. Check that, especially if there is a bit of corrosion on the terminals

They were pretty common, I still have an old one in the garage. Any metal plating place will be able to re-chrome it

You are kinda missing the point I'm trying to make. Back in the 90's a 50k brand new fun car would be a 200sx, Prelude, Celica etc and my mod list largely applies to all of them Now compare 50k today and what fun car you can get - i30n, Focus ST, Megane RS, Golf GTi and you generally dont need to mod them anywhere near as much Also keep in mind the average wage from the 90s and now so your 50k today is a lot less money that it was 20 years ago

Other thing I forget to mention, new cars are generally quite well sorted in stock form so you are not buying a modding platform that will need an instant pile of work like you did back in the 90s Wheels Tyres Exhaust Front Mount Moar boost Suspension Brakes Audio Seats List goes on

I bought my Fiesta as a daily runabout to get to and from work. Turned out to be way better than my S14 in just about every way, even though its wrong wheel drive. There are some significant differences, mostly due to progress over the past 20 years. 1. No lag. Torque from idle just about. Compared to nothing below 2.5k rpm from the s14, even in stock form 2. Body rigidity - zero flex anywhere. Cant say the same for a 90's Nissan 3. Interior quality, the ST isn't noted for its top notch interior, but still miles ahead of any S-Chassis 4. More power, more torque, better economy from smaller capacity 5. Electric steering - sharp, fast, full of feedback 6. General amount of fun and bang for the back, driving the S14 now feels like driving a laggy Maxima

These cars are amazing value now. A near new Q50 Sport can be picked up for around 40k
