hahaha im not a n00b to the euros

cimg0703vt6.jpg

thats my old ride, always loved the audis! will be happy hopping back in one...

yes the parts are expensive, but the build quality, engines and drive is superior to alot on the road!

Sewid- im mates with a couple of APR dealers, and a full exhaust in stainless turbo back is about 2.5k and to chip the computer will be about 1200 but that gives about 50more kw and 80 or so nm so there isnt much else you need to do! Ill eventually do apr stage 3 which will see almost 300kw at all 4 reliably!

abo- yeah the newer models have the V8s thats what your thinking of maybe? turbo goodness is better IMO.... depends what brakes and where.... the afm is a bit dodgey on the one im buying and shall be replaced for $300 new one... not bad!

WTF - i know ill love the s4, drove it for a while tonight, so refined and effortless i was just crusing through the gears and looked down to be doing 20+ the speed limit! that damn massive torque curve is to blame!!!

insurance is less than half that of the skyline... go figure!

I thought they had 280kw at the fly. Maybe that's slightly newer models.

Parts are the biggest ripoff ever. My boss has an A8 and the fuel pump died. $2k just for the pump.

That's the RS4 model, Adam.

The old RS4 (same model as Haysey's, the B5, but with higher-spec everything on the 2.7TT V6) had 280kW flywheel.

The newer (and still current) B6-series S4 has the new 4.0l V8 and cranks out 253kW at the flywheel, and the RS4 has 309kW. Strange fact about the new Audi V8 motors as used in the S4/RS4: they use a timing chain, but it's at the BACK of the motor to make it shorter so it fits in the engine bay.

you used to be my dori hero Ed. now your just a metro in a euro car..

:thumbsup:

give me your car sammeh and ill happily drift it anyday.... dont worry mate ill get the Haldex Diff upgrade to make the car more RWD biased and come drift it :worship:

Is the S4 a car where you can do DIY mods? (Or even want to try)

It is to a certian extent, its got full audi service history so ill continue that on so i get good resale, not audi servicing but im mates with an audi specialist, im not going to mod the engine much apart from intake, exhaust, chip and later down the track RS4 turbos and intercoolers....

Ill more than likely do suspension/ sound system myself and brakes......

Its more the fact that i dont want to be stuffing around with cars in every spare minute i have, yeah i enjoy it but not if i have to fix a car before i go to work the next day.... im buying one that is quick, complete and i wont want to mod for a while... its just a time constraint mainly and the fact that i want to get in, have fun, take it on long journeys and not worry..

GoldZilla - the best thing is that everything RS4 bolts up to the S4.... so with RS4 goodies on it good for about 450hp :domokun:

I never use to think much of Audi's but I have to say i am a big fan these days..

Especially of the new RS6 Avant wagon..

Claims they have around 600hp

same. but i prefer the sedan..

i wish i could rid myself of my car.

mmm audi S4. the gay mans thinking mobile. or is it the thinking mans gay mobile. I forget which, but the message is clear.

1600kg AWD with 200kw (about 150awkw i'm guessing) it's not my faviourite recipe for excitment. but i can't argue that it will have a far nicer interior than the skyline.

0-100kmh in 5.5sec, full boost by 1800rpm..... thats pretty fun in stock form, chip, exhaust intake will make it a sec or so quicker easy!

Heading down to canberra again tomorrow to drive this blue one

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
