I've been bludging for 7 weeks now :P

I'm right there with you... Savings are no more though :/

Meet on tonight? Need to get paintball deposits for those that are going.

Quick advice time. I currently have a company car with a $250 a month fuel allowsnce whi ch i pay $55 + $6 insurance reduction per week. I can get a car allowance of $150 per week ( so i dont have to pay fbt) i own my car outright. Should i do it? It does mean turning the skyline into a daily but i think it is worth it. Whats everybodies thoughts? Cheerz

My bet would be on no, not worth it. Extra maintenance and depreciation would probably be the killer. Don't forget the hike to your insurance as you are now using your car for business purposes. It would need an accountant to go over it to make sure however. if the $150 a week you would get would cover ALL of your maintenance, fuel, extra insurance and depreciation it would be worth it but I doubt that would happen.

Please note that this does not constitute real financial advise. Go talk to an accountant :P

I only need to drive it to and from work. Once im at work i use any car i want. im worried bout the extra maintance as well.

I use my skyline as a daily, although I have very short trips to work so I don't mind. I just love the feeling of getting into my car after finishing work each day. To each their own though :)

this man knows where its at. my skyline is my quiet comfy A/Ced daily driver....thats what i bought it for.....>_<

My drive to work tho is at least an hour( warner to morooka) i love driving it, will my love go away when im driving it? Thats my biggest concern coz that would suck.

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
