Did you upgrade the Transmission software by yourself or the dealer? Did you use the V32 SSS software to update the transmission?

Cheers

james1, no problem. For $15-$16K it is a bargain and a hell of a lot of car:)

West, I believe the software upgrade was done by NorthernBM and am not sure about the software used, but can probably get the info if you want it.

Did the exact same thing, flew down to Melbourne, picked up a car and drove it back to Sydney. Helps to know someone who can do blue slips, but it was definitely worth it either way

Exact same car I bought as well! No regrets.

So your loving the E38 7 series Matt? They are a great machine and as enjoyable as GTR, just in a different way:)

Haha yeah very different machine... but yeah it's like the same budget was spent on engineering both cars, but in completely different ways :) The thing is sooo relaxing to drive to work in and really does have plenty of go regardless of its heft. The VANOS on the later '99+ models definitely helps. Due to the great soundproofing (incl double glazed as per your 740) you appreciate the stereo that much better too.

At first the blokes at work couldn't believe I could afford it, then they couldn't believe how little I paid for it (and I paid more than you're selling yours for Jamie), it really does look like a much more expensive car than what it is; which is not why I bought it, I've just always loved the E38 shape, but it has dated very well, much better than I think the E65/66 has and will in future.

I believe that is all that is needed for rgei in another state. I am open to selling the car as is or with a Roadworthy for Vic buyers. Same goes for interstate buyers.

Thanks Matt. Yeh I wanted a black as well but there are hardly any of these for sale, or should I say worth buying for sale. Glad I ended up with the Oxford Green though as its set off real nice with the dark tint and wheels. I got 9.4L/100Km to Sydney which I thought was awesome and around city I get about 13-14.5 last time I checked it.

This car has had the software updated to the transmission and in sports mode, really goes hard. In sport mode as well, has some good rumble with the new quad exhausts:)

GL with the search!

killer cars i have the 750il and its fantastic, its just a daily but super plush... pretty decent power too around 205rwkw.

GL with the sale.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
