Hey Gregg, Welcome to SAU .Nice car, like the tints. The 250 I hear is a real neat engine about 160kw ?? and gets brilliant mileage.

Hows life in the Carribean and are there many Skylines around ?

Hi str8g

had my infiniti for around 2 months now and love the ride.

im looking at getting slightly bigger rims and rubber, have you any idea what these cars are capable of taking as when i go to the tyre shops they dont seem to have a clue and sre guessing, Also looking at lowering, any suggestions thanks.

stay away from tyreshops that dont have a clue. Any decent shop should be able to tell by the stock wheels and make a pretty good guess on how much bigger u can go.

personally i think 19" suit this car the best...but whether this is legal is somewhat a grey area. 9.5 front and 10.5 rears in around the +15 offset should fill the guards nicely

with sedans i have nfc

last car I was driving was an Ford AUII - not anymore - 2003 v35, 25000km - Here in SA from sinergymotorsports

25000km? make sure you go get it checked by a mechanic. It might have a few more K's then 25000.

Post some pics when you can :P

Hey guys,

Just picked up my 350 GT-8 today! Absolutely loving it! :P

Gunmetal Grey

50,000 kms

Half leather half suede

Looks the part, but the power was what I really wanted.

Didn't want to pick up a cop magnet.

Haha!

Anyway, didn't have time to take any snaps but will post soon. :D

Cheers,

Tony

    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2. 
    • I love saying Samsonas lol. Maybe it's because I secretly want one, but also don't want to sell a kidney.
    • My budget has already blown way out but I've got most of the big-ticket items out of the way haha I just got the box back from the shop, got them to inspect it and install one of those refresh kits with all new syncros and bearings so should feel much nicer. But yeah if there's a weak point it'll be the gearbox, I'm gonna roll with it for now and hope it holds together. Do have an Xtreme organic sprung twinplate clutch to go in so if/when the box lets go I'll be back open for suggestions haha
    • Dose salivating at the prospect of being able to recommend a gearbox upgrade!
