To Sell The Line Or Not?


Recommended Posts

Guest INASNT

I am considering selling my line and getting some like a later 90's M3 or similiar!!

Pending a county court appeal next month looks like i will be going down for atleast 6 months loss of license for the shit that happened last year with the coppers.

I couldnt be farked anymore with all the shit we have to go through having a jap car the the vic cops. If i had a normal car i would not even be going to court over the shit that happened last year i dont think.

If anyone want to make me a reasonable offer on the car do so and i will consider it. For those that dont know the details of the car, nothing is stock apart from engine internals and intake plenum.

I gotta run it at calder or heathcoat soon to get a bit of use out of it before i sell it as it hardly gets driven these days!!

Ooooh Man! I'm going through the same problem. But not coz of the cops, because I just found out SEV plates are ready for the R34GTR. After all the spondooleees I've spent on the GTR. Either way we'll see if the right money comes along I'll take it, & if you're having the same issues I'd suggest you do the same.

It will be a mid 90's M3 if i get a M3 coz i dont wanna spend 2 much at the moment, or maybe something like a 325.. The plan was to keep this car till i get my house and then sell for a R33 GTR and get that on the house loan but thing have changed and vic is a ***ed place at the moment. I aint really up to speed with my BMW's, so i will have to do some research.

I aint been reamed yet.

1st judge told me he would of let me off with a warning since i have never done any other stupid shit in 11 years of driving. Its all got to do with the new legislation that bracks's needle dick government has come in with recently, where it states if u were doing x amount over the speed limit u would loose your license for x amount of time, so the judge has no discression to rule even if u sped coz ur wife was dying and u had to get to the hospital and in 100 years u have never broken 1 law!!!

In any other state i would get off easy, coz apprently in vic speed kills everyone and everytime :)!!!

FU*K U STEVE BRACKS!!!!

Just remembered.. if your looking for an older M3 stay away from the SMG 1 model. Big dramas I heard, just confiem it for yourself though. I kew a guy who had the SMG 1 and had major problems with the box. The newer shape has the SMG2 which is fine.

how reliable are these mesh

Just got off the phone with a mate, who had the 2003M3 SMG2.. He's making some calls for ya through some guys we know at BMW Melbourne & Some Wholesalers.. but here's what he said.

1. Definatley stay away from the SMG's in the E36 Range.

2. If you can afford it go for the 3.2ltr M3

Dunno how much you want to spend but I'll PM you when he gets back to me.

the beemers have a pretty good engine, and they seem to respond well to mods :P

if u get a decent price for the line and ur happy with it, go for it

ive been thinking the same thing aswell but to go r33 gtr. nsw is so much more lenient so i might notfor another 6 - 12 months

sad to see denham seeing as you jsut finished it but at least you did it.

I'm going to get a soft car for missus but keep my car. I knwo what you mean re the cops . people laugh at me for going slow but I cbf going through all the hassle of getting fined and shit.

good luck with whatever you chosse.

might be worth getting rid of the car grab a house then look for another car.

whatever you choose good luck you have had you line for ages.

also look at the small mercs

Dont thing i can afford any SMG models.

Whats the difference between E36, E46 etc?

I was also looking at 1998 or around 328 convertables.

Yes i have had my line near 4 years now, but it will be atleast another month before anything goes throughso a bit of time to have fun with the line still. Farking work is keeping me away from home awell for the next few weeks so i cant drive the line or go to any off steet meets

Me personally, I would take a gtr over an M3 anyday, and that includes the latest model M3. Suppose evreyone's got their requirements, and if want affordable luxury, "a little" bit of go, something that handles well "the current model is a bit of a rough ride", and sounds like tin box full of steel rice bubbles when you boot it :P, then maybe it's the car for you. Have you driven one yet? I think my mate still has his number plates if you want them "believe it or not - we hung it on him for sticking it on his car" the plates are HOTM.3

E36 and E46 is the model numbers, like year

E36 M3 94-99

E46 M3 2000-current

M3's are a nice car, i love the E46... i was looking at a E36 M3 while looking at GTR's... i figured since i'm still young i should go for the loud non practical car - GTR and i love it ;)

I figure once i've grown up, and after i've had my 34GTR the M3/M5 will be on my list :P

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
