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:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
