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

yeah considered both of those, they seem pretty dear for what they are though, whats a polo GTI cost?

Wow, exchange synch actually works well on this phone. Stoked.

Golf R32. Or whatever they're selling instead of them these days... :thumbsup:

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
