on another note, one of my old skylines is for sale again...

they changed the turbo, plenum, plumb back the SSQV & that's it...

why change a GT30/40 to a GT35/40 is beyond me???

it makes less power now then when I owned it, it would be far less responsive also...

It's very yellow.

At least you'd spot it if it were ever stolen.

John, I was looking at novated leases today (come permanent for us, we'll drop your pay rate by 10k but hey you can get a novated lease through us!) and they have fully maintained lambo's starting around the 18k per month mark.

4000th Post Mangs. I'd like to thank...nah f**k it.

Finally got on a computer instead of trying to use the forum from my phone. To add to this:

I'm looking at (in no particular order):

VW

Alfa

Jag

Volvo

So not really just Naziland and Pizzaland. I just couldn't be assed typing that much on my phone.

This is partly why I was wanting to do a FF vs FR pros and cons list, but then I decided I've owned both before and never really had any problems with either. And really, when it comes down to it, as a 95% of the time street car, it's probably not going to make much difference.

In the meantime, if anyone hears of someone wanting a 32... if they're paying enough for me to go out and buy another car straight away then I'll sell it. Otherwise I'll keep saving and sell the 32 when I'm ready to buy something else.

Get a Jag and a tweed jacket and then you can smoke a pipe and nobody will think anything of it.

Bigger turbo = more style points on NFS.

I love playing with those novated lease calculators. 997 GT2 RS for 10k/month :cheers:

Anna and I talked about leasing a car for her business when she finishes...from those calculations it looks like we would be better off having a loan and getting a used one.

I have spoken to lots of people about leasing. Unless you earn more than $77k pa it's not really worth it and your better off with a normal car loan. Leasing is only good for tax reasons, but you need to pay enough in tax to make it worth while in the same hand

I see my cars come up for sale from time to time. My very first R32 back when I was 16 I saw only a few months ago on car sales! Blast from the past, had a million trillon kays lol

best mod for a jag is to replace the engine with something not found on a ship and then rewire it, full of Lucas the dark prince wiring. Oh lease vehicles would have to be the worst thing, we deal with them all the time, they will only let you do the least amount of servicing possible and they won't always fix problems, even if they are safety related.

John if you get an alfa.... you have my number. Also make sure you have RACQ membership, ultra care spec. Actually anything euro have RACQ

And also if you can manage to sell the car at a higher price comparing to the balloon at the end of the lease.

Surprisingly we had someone coming in to talk about it this week. I still dont quite understand the whole FBT thing. But looks like you're paying tax instead of paying the bank interest.

If we do it in my name it would be on more than 77k salary, if we did it on Annas, who knows at this point! but she has her heart set on a swift as the business car so in reality either way just going and buying the thing works out better, a brand new one is under 20k. Unless it is the sport which is like 24k new.

Actually what else is there that is 'good' that is a similar style to a swift, must be hatchback so the seats can be folded down so all of Annas make up stuff can fit must be at least a little bit fun, Ie no carollas.

There would be no tax advantage if done under your name - And as Brandon said balloon payment etc.

Ideally buy it/finance it as a normal loan and try and put commercial rego on it (not hard I know someone with a C63 in real estate who did it). You can offset some loan/interest repayments against tax.

You will have to check with your accountant if you can claim loan/interest repayments on tax under normal rego – Last time I asked it was no, however all normal running costs claimable as per normal.

What about a Polo or Jetta? They aren’t a huge amount of money

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
