best bet, talk to Jetwreck as he has sorted through these problems for someone at least once before.

mmm.. Nagoya...

Have you changed your aircon filter (in the passenger footwell behind glove box) I pulled one out for someone and it was marked that it was changed 2 years prior at 70k. Only thing was the car was purchased in Oz with 42k 2 years prior.... the plot thickened.

So that sticker has the km it was changed at or the km to change it next?

Penrite also make a compatible oil for matic J which is full synthetic.

I payed closer attention today when I put the car into Drive... The clunking seems to come from the rear.. Obviously the diff has backlash.. BUT the car lurches Forward when it does into Drive.

Sound strange?

I'll so a service on the box, I'll use penrite 100% synthetic, it is matic J compatible.. Dno what you guys think of penrite, but I even use it to oil my BBQ.. (Jokes right)

Is the filter a gauze type? So it is serviceable, no need for replacing?

      If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly

      Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts.

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.

      If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.

      Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
