jumped out and told me that she wasn't driving my car again cause it was s**t and didn't speak for the rest of the way home. lol

:rofl: Too funny. Unfortunately all of our M35's are auto, so we cant have such fun :( I think my missus would love the challenge I was able to do something similar though.

Spotted this Volvo in a Maccas drive thru the other week; gave him a toot & told him to get out of the way... Also saw this sweet NM35 while I was driving up a hill a couple of days ago.

LOL, you should have said "not with that negative attitude, you're not" then laughed. Shame on her lack of commitment! :D

Hahaha. It sounds like your partners are opposite to my misses. She likes to give the 260RS a bit of a flogging and stir up the odd bogan. I bought her a Mini Cooper S with JCW kit and she complains it's too slow. Hits her favourite corner on the way home and has the traction control light flashing :)

Now we just bought an old Ford GT40 replica as a project car. That should be fun :)

So good when I was borrowing my housemates stag the other day, he told me to park it in the multi-story behind his work and there just happened to be a spare spot with a volvo v70 next to it in the same colour as his stag! Epic trolls, he was sad.

hehehehe, bloody nice car though :D

OK, as requested. It's not in great shape, but it's gonna be an awesome project.

It actually has a 350 Chev. Some people would say this is sacrilege, but who cares.

just got my stagea last weekend and in the space of less than a week, i saw at least 1 volvo v-series wagon everyday...thought wtf is going on here?

then today went to one of my usual workshop to machine the rear rotors, the guy said to me that he thought it was a volvo...i just grinned and remembered how every other m35 owner has their first 'i thought it's a volvo' moment :D

I just bought my Stagea in Melbourne on Friday. Went out to tea that evening and came back to the room to find a letter under the door:

"Mr Marshall,

We believe you are the owner of a White Volvo Registration ***-***.

Please note your headlights have been left on.

Kind Regards,

Reception"

That has to be some sort of record in Stagea-Volvo confusion! In my defence, it was only the inside light, not the headlights :P

had a few moments in the last week...

Had a mate from training giggling telling me it sounded like the starship enterprise on boost more than a volvo...

Had someone ask if it was a hearse the other night too... 5 years after buying it and I still love the attention it gets from randoms. Lol.

some seedy dude in dandenong told me he wanted to rear end my volvo. i drove off as quickly as i could.

:rofl2::whistling:

Classic.

Yep. I the short time I've had my car not one person has guessed its a Nissan. Pretty much all of them thought it was a Volvo. Its actually starting to shit me off a bit!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
