You will love the AUDI - they're tops cars :whistling:

Although they're a bit of a "wifes" car - good for her to do the shopping and get the kids from school then dad can give it a bit of punishment on the weekend

Was it like this one?

I tell ya what the GAYEST part of this whole thing is....

Starting the thread with...

the time has come!

FFS! can someone be a little bit more original :blink:

Oh.. and AUDI sucks.

Induction Twin Turbo intercooled

Power 195kW @ 5800rpm

Torque 400Nm @ 1850rpm-3600rpm

Acceleration 0-100Km/h 5.7 secs

Kerb Weight 1615kg

Chip it and get an extra 60 or so kw and alot more torque, then exhaust and intake and im flying!

Sorry mars! ill change it to

Id rather have a big debt and a newer car than an old skyline when i can afford to pay off a new car!??

buy a 180 ya fag

...and be like everyone else? :P

It's sad letting a car go, my current runabout goes on the market as soon as the Stagea lands from Japland.

As much as it has cost to keep it on the road and caused me a lot of problems i'm going to miss it. :google:

Best of luck with the Audi! :nyaanyaa:

servicing isnt too bad actually... its the parts that are a tad more expensive... but still not as bad as getting them overnight delivered from jaapaaaan

im over my imports at the moment, its twin turbo sleeper time!

A mate of mine who used to be on these forums went from a R33 gts-t to a 2.7l tt S4. Said the same stuff as you. Cat back exhaust set him back 5k and took 6 months to manufacture and send from the US. Getting someone local to chip it was a rort they wanted $1600 to load some software.

Things may have changed since then but i doubt its cheap yet.

Dont listen to them Ed! you will love the S4, i used to have a B6 1.8T Quattro work car and that was a very nice drive. Just remember with euro's you go through more brake discs compared to a jap car (usually every 2-3 sets of pads)

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
