Yep, car has to be able to tow my trailer and dirt bike to track days on the regular. 

Also onto shitty dirt roads when I go to the bush, so AWD might be nice to have. 

tl;dr Buy another R33 GTR with a tow bar addon 

All rounder cars are shit, but a necessary evil for people with only one car space. Daily and weekender is the way to go if you got a choice.

Aren't simmons like the Australian volk? Thought they were pretty expensive, not that I've ever looked.. I don't mind the simple 5 spoke, but don't really want something you're likely to see on several cars the same model as your own

yeah not cheap.

but no better way to show your true 'stralyaness other than stralyan rims on your straylan muscle car.

 

MAAAte, anything else and your not fair dinkum

stock are 10.5" wide??? where??

what model you got again?

all my googling showed 20x8.5 +35 front and 20x9.5 +42 rear will borderline not require a guard roll.

 

you want bawler status and uniqueness:

They used to be, I think they used to be forged and better quality but now days cheaper due to cheaper manufacturing process I guess? 

Don't do it, too many of them around definitely in the Ford FG community anyway, I'm sure Holden the same.

So I'll find something good.

If going black on black wheels you may as well not have good wheels, won't see shit.

Black looks good in person bad on pictures.

Arguments on both sides, some would say no point having a cheap daily if that's what you spend most time in, obviously if you could have a baller daily and baller weekender that's different, I'm going down that path with motorbikes though, track bike and road bike, at least they're cheaper $.

Stock rears are 10.5" wide, could probably get some decent looking te37s on there....

I thought 9.5? Check out some of the Vertini, HRE, Niche etc , thewheeldeal website has some good options, I think eastcoast tyres also recently opened a shop in Bayswater (they are big in sydney for holden and ford ranger boys)

Mate rekins you can get more for less money at dpm and dynomotive, so I'll sus them if I do anything to it.. Probably gonna have to get something else now that I've got the dog, once he's full grown, or option 2 is lose the hard cover and he can go in the back

New M140i is ~60k, will go harder than wrx and isn't ricey. The new civic looks awful


What advantages does this have over say, a train, which I could also afford?

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
