Team diesel 4wd took another step forward today!

With any luck in 8 or 9 days I'll have thrown all my money away and purchased another car.

So, with that in mind, anyone wanna swap $20k for a 20B?  


No more blap?

Feeek I bet maintenance costs on that are not cheap at all!!!


No, they are hideously expensive to maintain.

A set of front pads and wiper blades installed at a dealer will set you back $800 according to a friend that owned one for a few months (and that was only the v6 diesel version), he sold it after getting that bill and working out how expensive maintenance items were going to cost long term.

I'm sure I can do pads and wiper blades at the shop, lol.

And a V6 diesel? Ewww!

Sounds like most german cars lol




It's ok , cost me about $220k for 3x2 ( deluxe condominium) so it's affordable:)


How much is in Japan ?


Similar to that to build in the country, but very cheap to buy an old house.

Not sure in the city but no doubt expensive even for a shoe box

True , old House much cheaper But Then You need to do lot of repairing works [emoji20] hence I bought the new one , mind you brand new house is completely empty as in no kitchen cabinets or wardrobe in the bedrooms - no lights and fancy accessories, just marble floors , once they release the house key I need to do lot of renovations [emoji849]

Morning All ! I haven't start the R35 for ages , I think it's the battery completely or something else! Very convenient especially when I plan to have a look at the Nismo [emoji15]


Morning chick!

Could be battery you with RAC?

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
