Want to be careful with the c63.

The whole catastrophic engine failure fault they have with the head bolts is costly.

How much is a c63 engine rebuild though?

People tend to have no issues coughing up $10k to $20k in GTR engine rebuilds once every few years :30_no_mouth:

or $100k every few events for burnout cars...

or $15k for OEM intake bits for their ferraris or $10k for a new bumper on their Lotus' or $2000 a year for new tyres on their BMW X5's or $10k on VW polo GTI engine when the pistons melt or $6k on BMW gearboxes when they throw an error code.

I dont know how people have money for rent/mortgage/food/school fees sometimes

Guys in the USA are getting quotes of 30-40k from the dealers. 10k+ from performance shops.

The headbolts back out and it dumps the coolant into the sump/bores and if it doesn't bend a rod or two it ruins the bearings as coolants a shit replacement for oil.

I'd be happy paying $10k plus for a c63 engine rebuild

Just tuned car back to the stock tune with the flash tuner, man I forgot how much the transmission tune limits the car but dropping power between changes.. on the bright side my car is farting again which is nice. Still feels pretty quick too, probably the traction I'm not used to having.

Had some old bloke look to buy it the other day and think he wants to have it inspected by a mechanic so figured should bring it back to stock tune.. also don't want old mate killing himself

Nope, I've basically returned car back to stock and re-uploaded pics & changed the ad description due to the people viewing it saying in the end it's too modified for their liking, too low, etc. 

I took him for a test drive in the wet anyway so wouldn't know the difference, if it were some young dude then I'd tell them about the tune but it seems all the people that have asked about the car want it stock standard. 

So stock brakes, wheels, suspension, tune is back on - which will bring me about ~5k anyway, the suspension and rims already gone.

Toll confirmed for worst courier around.
Took 15mins yesterday to book a pickup due severe language difficulties.
Get a call this morning from the driver, again with language difficulties, trying to find out where he needed to go. Had the wrong Street number at first, then turned out he had the wrong postcode and was in Canberra. f**king muppets. Would have been better off booking online.

Owner is a cashed up bogan who can't buy new Statesman or Caprice?

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
