*smack!*

dude, you obviously haven't done your research.... (yes, i know you are by asking on a forum) but daym, your 20 and buying an R34... parents money huh ?

and you paid $2k for insurance on a lancer when you were 18.. join the club, don't bitch to US about insurance!!

Sorry guys, I'm a new for car stuff so I don't really know much about this, What club?

I'm asking you for help that's why I put it in forum and I don't like if you rude to me since I'm new , If you don't like what i've been asking just stay out of it ok?

I don't like rude person

I thought I'm going to this forum to get good and nice reply

Dude no one is angry at ya:uh-huh:

Insurance has always been a big problem for us import drivers and just the word 'Insurance' gets our blood boiling, you will understand when you start having to pay it, especially 2k a year that does suck!

If your parents do have a lot of money and are buying you this car, well we are all jealous of you, i tried to get adopted into one of the guys on here called Godfather s family so i could get a car bought for me like they did him but no luck with that :-(

Now with me saying before going on about imports and the R34 being available... well it aint your fault dude that the salesman has fed you something it is up to you though if you beleive it. So if i or anybody else sees info saying otherwise i wouldn't bother to listen to that salesman on that.... besides isn't it a Holden dealership? One of the guys that come on here regularly with the Nick GTAAH runs c-red, he might be able to source you out something in the way of an R34.......

3 year warranty aint bad, but just remember when you start doing some mods to it always check with the people whos warranty it is with before you start doing mods to it....

Bwhaha yeh

No offense here eriktufa but u have started 3 threads on total BS, sure we all have to start somewhere but it would be nicer if we all started with the search button before dumass posting. There is a wealth of info on the forums did u even bother to find any of it? or did u just wanna tell us all about the overpriced behemoth that ure parents bought u and u have no idea about but the fact that it looks good and ure mates say its fully sick? SAU is first and foremost a "car enthusiasts" forum we really dont need another idiot with no idea about anything but how his car looks cool. Asking us dumass questions on where he can find a body kit from the fast and the furious.

not mentioning any names here though :D

hah erick if you think 3 k is expensive...

im 20 and im paying 3600 a year for a car worth maybe 17-18 grand by now

you're also 20 but your car is worth 30 odd grand...maybe you will end up paying more than me or close to the 4 grand mark? i dunno, maybe you need to check before actually buying the car

25GTT, you're welcome to join my family, see if you can put up with my parents hahah...

No, not OK. You're the one out of line here. SAU isn't a happy-go-fun-luck theme park where you get to talk crap on a podium and have everyone listen to you. Its here for intelligent discussion, and you're not helping improve it.

Quite honestly this thread started off well enough, new found joy in a good car, advice on price, etc. Then you mentioned the magic word - insurance. Bad choice, its a touchy subject with a lot of people, mainly because its been discussed to death. Do a forum search!

BTW, do you know what buying car before applying for insurance spells? D-U-M-B-A-S-S. Look it up.

For any potentional n00bs out there, 3 simple suggestions:

- Lurk before you join

- Search before you post

- Think before you type

I agree with Gradenko. I am getting sick of the people posting "what exhaust should I buy" "are bovs any good" "which insurance company" etc etc etc without doing a bit of basic research first. Its not hard to search the forums for relavent topics and do a bit of reading. Think before you type... I like that :P

I go to a lot of trade nights, canon, hewlett packard, nec, etc etc and its amazing some of the idiots we get who ask questions that were answered earlier in the night but they we too busy ****ing around to listen, or people ****ing around in general.

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
