hahahaha,

thanks guys.

Love's to REV, fantastic motor.

I've never driven a car this small, it handles so well sticks to the road.

Honestly 10 4, I love all cars. Jap cars are awesome too!

Just stoked I ended up with this.

it only has 36,000km's on the clock... Immaculate condition.

I kinda like the Audi's.

I saw the R8 in a movie recently and thought it was really nice, well done man!

Lol :-D

Nice car though man, seen one ages ago with a centrifugal supercharger hanging off it, made 380rwkws!

Still plenty to mod on those beasts :-)

nice purchase, and only 36,000k?!!!

the old man had an E46 and just had a 2010 E92 delivered today.

Might cop some flack but, they really are in another class when it comes to build quality and the way they drive compared to most of the skylines about.

Here's the old mans new ride

Awesome car! I've thought about Owning one of these in the future for a while.

Get one mate, you will not be disappointed!

Make sure it hasn't done that many KM's though.

Also check if it's been launched, very important.

Thanks for the tips mate, got to buy a house first though ha, and I can't see myself selling the gtr anytime soon :)

Just looked at the m3 prices, they seem strong. Always kinda thought these could be a good buy as they might hold their value being the last 6cyl versions?

To be brutally honest...

The M3's that are for sale on carsales are ridiculously priced.

Most of those cars on carsales have been for sale longer than 4-6 months. Tough market at the moment.

Hurry up and buy the house...

Yea I have noticed a few hang around on there as I lurk occasionally.

Getting close with the house, the problem is finding one with a decent shed for cars, or room for one etc..

A 911 turbo might get my attention before the m3 though, I find myself liking them a lot lately, which is weird as I never used to?? Ha

Funnily enough there is a nice 911 996 turbo for 65k on carsales atm, quite cheap, but.... It's yellow ha.. Could get a little weird if I kept the gtr haha

Why low kms :\

I know of a fair few with over 200km running well still.

M3 forum UK has many over 150k miles.

Its just in Aus for some reason, people get scared of euro stuff... Probably cause we get ripped with servicing and after the first couple of owners, they get given to people who don't know what they're doing and then they break...

They are a great car macdog well done on the new ride. Keep an eye on the rear mounting points for the rear suspension I have seen 3 of them while assessing cars that have the rear boot floor torn next to the rear rails and they had low KM. Just pull the rear boot carpet out and check the floor every so often.

    • I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.
    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
    • Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
