This is what got me @Duncan. Surely not all of them are terrible so I did my research and found a lot of good things said about the ones I got.

Seriously? How can anything be terrible when it has "claw" in the name? What a let down.

Some super cool cars in those pics. I love the 90s spec white R33. What became of the $400 s13 shell?

Period correct wheels. 👌🏻

I have been religiously anti the cheap Chinese tyre brands. I like good middle-teir tyres and I like knowing I have decent rubber. I bought a set of wheels that came with Black Diamond tyres. They were noisy but not terrible with grip. When it came time to replace them I did some reading and watched a bit of YouTube about cheap Chinese rubber and if it is actually terrible. So, I went against my better judgement, listened to a few reviews and bought a pair of Sailun tyres for the rear of the 335i. Two tyres, fitted for a twenty less than a single front-matched Kumho! And let me tell you.... They're f**king horrible. They are so noisy even at low speeds and even moderate take offs from the lights cause TCS flashing. And these were the GOOD cheap Chinese tyres. What is your opinion or experiences with Chinese tyres?

My wife says stuff like that too, it becomes my sole motivation to do it.

Welcome back! The site is seeing a strong improvement in visitors lately and several old(er) members have returned. I think the poor historical content on social media means that all the info on SAU is still valuable and so users are returning. A lot of what you said resonates with me. While I wasn't mechanically minded to do what you were doing I was definitely in the thick of it with other people on here. Had 3 x R33's myself and still can't believe I sold any of them. My Stagea was awesome and my 180 was a hoot (even if I did over steer it into a no parking sign post as I left work one night ).

Sounds good. Will amend soon.

I can already imagine the insurance on this. Likely a K powered CRV if I get my way. She wants a soft roader so she can do some road trips and camping with friends. 1000HP K24 build coming soon!

I have added a warning to the messages page. Have a look and see if you think we should add anything else.

I'm looking for angel investors. You keen?

Yeah I had mentioned to Duncan that limiting messages is a little tricky but that this has happened again I'll get this done in the next few days. And yes @soviet_merlin I'll put a warning banner on the top of the messages screen, nice idea!

@Duncan is yours the VS GTS colour?

Some idiot put the same name twice on the window. 🤦‍♂️

Yeah I gotta agree. While white is my fave colour for an R32, this type of yellow is very cool.

This looks great, I'm excited for the progress!

So, after 7 years the 330i has moved on. A little bittersweet but she was never being used and I need the money for my daughters first car

Theres a tonne of info on here about ignition wiring in R34's (and R34 wiring in general). Start here; https://www.google.com/search?q=r34+ignition+wiring+diagram+site:www.sau.com.au&sca_esv=f16471168e6fc9b9&sxsrf=ACQVn08WB-mUjF700moOg_ajv23L7CddgA:1712108368224&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi2jevY9KSFAxUkyzgGHe-UDcUQrQIoBHoECCMQBQ&biw=2560&bih=1294&dpr=2

Looks sandable maybe? I cant remember if its just polished or if theres a coat of something on it.

Despite the mechanical work, you'd need to have the car updated as non turbo with the relevant govt departments. I tried to do similar with one of my motorbikes, the difference between L's approved and not L's approved was just the ECU but it was going to be a bastard to get it updated on the system if I bought the NON L's bike and the L's ECU so I could unrestrict it later.

Yeah, its not ringing any bells for me.

Wow, that looks like quite the retrofit.

Yeah this is infuriating.
