since parking and driving in the city is getting impossible, i might get a car that doesnt need to comply with any rules

Bahahahahahahahaha!

My brother lives in SA and he said that it's very difficult to find OEM parts due to people keeping them. So I asked what people do when they upgrade and his reply was that they keep the OEM parts at home and spend a night or two re-fitting everything before they enjoy an afternoon with a Regency officer and his nightstick. LOL!

yep most people keep the original exhaust and springs hanging in the shed..

Well I'm selling my v36 and moving to the US. Currently drooling over the possibility of a 911 Carerra 4S. ~60k for a 2009 model!

LOL.

reminds me of Johnny Drama in Entourage when Vince is looking to buy the Rolls Royce.

'you don't buy a car like that bro, you LEASE it - that's why every broke deadbeat in this town has a 911'.

Yep we don't dare sell our oem parts, as sooner or later the revenue raisers will send you to Regency, and unless you are basically dead stock, you have no chance of passing.

LOL.

i loved the earlier episodes of Entourage. Such a good show

it's hard to beat.

Drama goes on from there to say 'i once owned an italian car, beautiful piece of machinery' - to which turtle points out 'drama, you drove a fckn FIAT - and they reposessed it when you couldn't make the repaymentst'.

Back O/T - I'm still kind of in a 'next car' phase - I like the idea of a V but I could change my mind tomorrow.

My problem is i want ALL teh cars....and i keep buying them and selling them 6 months later. I tell my girl that i break even but i must surely be losing. And every car i've had has been a bit outside the box - I could never drive something 'common' likea S15 or an Evo. I'm just looking for the right balance of quick without being too thirsty and unreliable, good looking without being too impractical/onboxious/cop bait - ability to be daily driven and live on the street every now and then without getting stolen - and all at the right price.

Some cars on my bucket list to own though include:

- BMW e46 M3 SMG - has to be estoril blue

- A 32/33/34 GT-R- just to have done it

- late 60's 280se Merc - stock looking but on digital air suspension.

- BMW X5 4.8is - Black on Black with a straight obnoxious exhuast and no plates 'PANZER'

- Another Lexus LS - such solid cars

- R31 GTS coupe - back to my roots

This will all have to wait until i buy a house though - trade off with gf is no more cars until we buy a house - but when we do i'm allowed to buy a project car.

LOL.

BEST SHOW EVER! I watched all 8 seasons in just a few days, i watched so much of it i felt like i was living their life. Best T.V series out i reckon.

Well I am out of the V and into my 370Z, one of my other options that I was looking at was VW R36 Passat, AWD 3.6L V6, and they look quite tidy on a set of well offset wheels and a little lower too. But being a Nissan guy I did what i just had to do and got the 370 :)

My desire is have a Cobra kit car or newly built 1971 240z or at least a lightweight, most likely open top track car.

BUT sensibly a next car would be a sedan of some sort, but definitely has to be not FWD...

Good choices > but it's best to get the M3 Manual (due to faults with SMG)

i thought the e36 SMG was the one to steer clear of - and the e46's are ok?

there is a minty e36 M# with SMG in Estoril Blue on car sales - has been there for a good 6 months - reckons he's spent 13k on getting the trans overhauled - but I still couldn't trust it........but believe me, i was considering it over the V.

My Urologist had his E46 M3 SMG for 4 weeks before he put it up on the market.

Roadfly or BMW Drivers' Club has info on SMG issues...

yeah but urologists are 'always pissing and moaning'......badda-ching!!! lol

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • 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
