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...

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
