Dale always brings the lolz to anything.

If ol mate got his facts right instead of posting any old shit up for people to swallow and didnt personally attack fellow members cars i woulnt have taken it further.

But well and behold he did...and all from a SAU VIC, sure is giving them a good name.

Hey 'ol mate' - you threw the first stone when you came in here on your low and ugly horse calling the group and me as a representative of that group 'v-tards' - what do you want, a standing ovation for that witticism?

I was right, you were wrong, I corrected you and gave you an equally targeted personal insult in return - you cut up rough and bought your cavalry of band-'wagon' fanboys in to save face - and then suggest that I am in some way expected to hold up an expectation that all people who pay a $75 donation to this club must be good blokes and tolerate all fools?

How many other ways do I need to point out you are wrong?

Daleo - empirical evidence refers to a widely accepted viewpoint arrived at by observation of a collection of sources (qualitative). In laypeople terms, if enough people agree on something being right it is generally safe to accept that. I quoted those websites as an example of that information being consistent across a number of sources in line with the definition of the term.

I'm also the only one who has answered the OP's question.

Your move.

  • Like 1

because half of you post utter crap without using the search function/G35driver.com/google first. ITS NOT HARD!!! we wont hate you for bringing up an old thread instead of posting a new thread about the same thing....

i didnt ask them to put their two cents in mate, they did it of their will.

thinking that $75 is an ego boost

My move?

Ok Mat, but I don't recall needing to have your permission.

You are right, Mark did target first; but the only reason you would've bitten back at an insult that clearly wasn't actually directed at an individual, is that you clearly see some truth in it.

As for you being the self appointed leader of the V35 forum; Congratulations on your lofty post, exactly when did the vote happen, and who else was a candidate?

​Your (somewhat delayed) righteous indignation is comical; why would you call someone you've never met; a retard? Seems there's no standard like a double standard.

The inference that Mark needed to purchase (see "bought" in your comment, not brought) support would suggest that I don't actually look at subjects in any subforum I please; because that is my want.

I'm well aware of the definition of Empirical Evidence, thankyou; your condescending tone towards me is completely unnecessary and unwanted.

I was simply pointing out the irony of holding up the webpage of a car importer and an online information source as undeniable proof of your argument. Frankly I still find it completely hilarious that you are saying this.

If in fact you ever had to provide Empirical Evidence for anything; I doubt two unsupported sources would actually cut the proverbial mustard.

I (and doubtless many others) can use the internet to find any information on any subject, to support any argument; real or imagined at any time I choose. It's not a special skill that you have developed, trust me.

To be honest with you Mat, I'm happy to accede to anyone with expertise or knowledge in any area; but when they are as arrogant and unnecessarily insulting as you have been, I'll admit I do tend to climb aboard my horse.

As you've so ably demonstrated; a supposed common interest in cars and a club membership is no guarantee of meeting like minded people.

And as for your final comment; I believe the question was answered almost a day prior to you swaggering in on your rather slow pony; and actually providing any real information.

And even then, the assembled masses had to wait 4 posts, and almost 4 hours before you finally decided to bring the fabled tablets down from the temple mount to set them on the path to true wisdom.

And even then you couldn't manage it without being a bit of a know-it-all.

I'd like to thank you on behalf of all people everywhere for this opportunity to point out to you; what is blindingly obvious to EVERYONE else.

Have a great weekend.

I most certainly will.

As I said - i don't tolerate laziness or fools alike.

Almost everything you have said reflected my exact intentions.

So I'll chalk this up to success.

And to note; I would never appoint myself as a 'leader' - your 'ol mate' and mine did that by implication. Although, the fact that you seem to feel fit to speak on behalf of 'EVERYONE' else would suggest you perhaps have a different opinion of yourself it seems.

Further to that, as of this weekend I don't even own a V-series so my interests in defending a 'community' are nought. But I would never target a collective and refer to them as 'v-tards' in defense of my own lack of intelligence. If my tone smacks of arrogance it's because I share the same dismay at people's lack of ability to seek their own information, or alternatively a penchant for imparting disinformation.

I hope this response is timely enough for you, unfortunately I don't normally spend my days compiling verbose responses on forums; but hey, you bait - I'll bite.

There is a nice red one in the classifieds with leather and sunroof.

I would suggest buying one of the rarer colours - there are far far too many silver ones on the market. Come resale time, a unique colour will present a better sales proposition.

Fair point, but red fades a lot quicker than silver or white will, and these are 10 years old now - plus these cars look super smart in silver or white, even with stock wheels!

But the red one is definitely in my price range, though the kms are pretty high.. I'll have to go have a look.

I wouldn't stress on that too much. Faded red paint is a throwback to the early 90s and single stage paint systems.

Similarly with km's - with any grey import unless you can site deregistration papers it's safer to assume its been wound back. Go by condition of the leather bolsters, steering wheel etc for a more accurate idea of mileage.

A red car with some paint correction and regular maintenance looks amazing!

The white one looks good on paper - kms, features, etc. Though the carbon fibre looks kinda daft.. again, think I better go check it out in person.

Agree with your comment Smokey - assume the odo has been wound back. How hard would it be for someone to do this? Its a digital readout, but where/how is the data captured?

1st car (white) - it is dead easy to 'wind' back the km - there is a guy in Sydney who will do it for $100 - 5 minute job with a laptop. Love the hella flush stickers and stock wheels ... I assume it has been stocked out - I bet it had an 'easy' 2,000km a year life of rice, rice, rice thrashed within an inch of its life.

2nd car (silver) ewwwwww willow interior and beige seats - there is no limit to how much you would vomit just sitting in that car :)

3rd car - who advertises a car without pictures??? also listed as an 'SP' - sorry champ that delineation didn't come out until V36 - I assume they mean 'Premium'. But no pictures????

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
