Re: 335i I loved them until I realized they don't come with a LSD need an M for that. 1M is a great car, won't say a great buy just yet until you can pick them up 2nd hand cheaper.

I'm tryin to hold off from a new car until jan next year, that would mean I can get a 11' plated with a decent ammount off? Looking at fpv or hsv at this stage if it makes any difference. But yeh a bit lost on the best way to go about buying a new car.

Edit: yes I'm wanting a v8 for a change of pace :) hopefully not too far off imports haha

Purchase outright, maybe an ex demo if it's like 7k+ cheaper than what I could get new at the best price. I guess what I'm asking is it worth me waiting till jan ? Or will it be stuff all saving compares to say early dec? Then at least I got a car for Xmas time

So Ex demo car 7K saving + 1 month earlier v New car

How much do they go for 2nd hand? Aren't ex-demo's generally thrashed? Correct me if Im wrong.

Also make sure the 'new car' price is the driveaway price, and does not have other hidden charges.

Do you have alot of time off work during the x-mas period and thats why you want it before then?

Edited by blah_blah

just what i saw, cant remember which ep of top gear, but they all chose the 370z over the m1

said it was a better car overall and the price was the last straw in the decision

yeah not to sure on exact figures

but i know 370z ain't no slug

I have no idea what video you are talking about??? The 1M bet the M3 around the topgear test track.

I think you are talking about 135i vs 370z...

edit: read through thread. S'all good.

come again?

you put a brake line clamp on the soft line near the caliper to stop air get in/oil getting out, less of the system will need rebleeding when you reattach the calipers.

<cool story bro>

Pulled up at lights, heard someone talking, look to my left. See a 60yr old guy in a new toyota camry looking at me. I said "sorry?" as I missed what he said. (im thinking he said some hoon comment about the car being too loud or something). He replies "nice car" and keeps mirin my car...

It seemed so out of character for him, caught me off guard.

Majority of times cars next to me always stop short of my window and other import drivers just look dead straight :(

Thumbs up to old guy :thumbsup:

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
