I want to do a car for good looks, nice rockin sound and cruising !!

my cars have always been for cruising, not hooning!!!

not sure of what years to go for and i know nothing about cars, just love driving them, would want something

thats easy to look after if you know what i mean, and to hopefully learn from others..

Welcome to SAU Jason. :) Become a member & join some cruises & talk to the guys :P

What budget have you got? Are you on Ps? What cars excite you so far?

Advanced Drivers' Courses are good to consider.

Take a mechanic with you to inspect any 'good potential buys' and ask him/her to talk to you about what's being looked at.

From Nowra, it'd great to take a test drive to Kangaroo Valley by going up > down Cambewarra Mtn... or Kangaroo Valley Rd from Berry.

Im almost 40, but just love cars in general..

I like the R33's, but dont know much about them? particularity age worries,

and want an auto

probably around the $12000ish price , and my other concern is big milage, and how well

the car has been looked after, I like to cruise, not hoon or stir up trouble, I like to put on my 70' & 80's music and just drive

Edited by miloman

i think that u would be more suited to a bmw or something dude.

i sold my my 05 320ci last year and it did all of the thing that u want (except the old music lol)

and they r an awesome cruiser.

or a lexus ls400 nice lazy v8 and u feel like ur driving a leather sofa with wheels lol

there is no point having sports cars if u dont drive it like one

just my 2c

$12K?

Auto?

Cruise?

Yes I'd agree with JULZ ^^^

What about an E36 328i BM with full history and low Kms? Just have the DME fault codes brought up and make sure there are no leaks/seepage. Stay away from the 320i of that era. I'm 60 and had a E46 328Ci before the R34 = a great cruiser. Good cornering, comfortable & uses less fuel than the Mercs.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
