saw that ad, was sick!! :D Feck 75k is very impressive, my dad is regretting buying his Sti because of these 45 AMG's, if only we could go back three months :(

trust bmw to say that :P

Wow that's awesome man, drove a 250 petrol a few months back felt the same, albiet it had more features, as my mum's c200. :S but then drove a e250 cdi coupe and saw the difference, these 250's pull hard i'm sure you're coupe would be quicker than the e!

Mines a sedan, I have no time for the coupes anymore lol.

But yeah, 2.1litre twin turbo diesel, you would hope it hauls lol they are definitely not slow!

It left the missus rx8 for dead lol

Lee- nah they don't come in manual... But eh.

ahhk fair enough yeah the sedans are so comfortable defintely don't regret mum getting a sedan. haha dat mercedes torque just makes you laugh tho, plus amazing how it can deliver surprising performance whilst returning like 5.oL/100km!

Long line of cars trying to get into the cardigan street multi level car park, after a half hour of snails-pace movement, my turn comes to get up into the barrier bit...usually I come in from another turn in so there's minimal scrapeage...but yeah drive in, car can't get onto the ramp...so after 5 mins of struggletown the car park employees had to come and push my car up the ramp... :|

No idea lol normally about 150 for skylines I think though. Never bothered to get the wagon done with all it's glass.

Yeah the quote I got back this morning was $170 for 35% supply and install. Good enough for me... Considering you guys say he does good work...

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
