Sell 34R for something Euro?

[Hadouken]

Can't see it on phone. Tell us! I was wondering why it's been so quiet

[No Crust Racing]

Haven't done anything, been on holidays.

Had a thread about track cars, which you saw, maybe he meant that?

E60 M5 + straight pipes= redline all the gears

[Leroy Peterson]

I dont mean no disrespect Dan, but I read your posts and build thread(s). and yes, right now I have time on my hands.

Created ~250 threads since 2010, majority not for the For Sale section. though, back then SAU was a different place.

Recently:

Oct 2015 - In the market for 33 or 34GTR. but not really sure. But then contemplating Evo. but then not really. but then thought the 34R was too old. But 32R wasnt out of the picture either. 

Nov 2015 - decided on R34GTR. asks if anyone is familiar with the car after buys it

Nov 2015 - Build thread starts. 100+ pages in under 12 months. Mostly discussions about what to do or what to buy.

April 2016 - contemplating E85. Wants to use drum fuel only. wants to transport 200L drum in boot of a car.

Oct 2016 - Inquiring about R35's.

Oct 2016 - Inquiring about Euros. all of them.

Nov 2016 - Inquiring about open wheelers.

it's almost like he thinks he's on some sort of online discussion board, a forum if you will.

I think its Top Gear syndrome. searching for a car that does everything. thats why so many enthusiasts turn to passion for their car choice. my 2c.

[No Crust Racing]

Lol I'm not sure if I should be impressed or concerned with how much effort went into that, you must be fun at parties

Some threads relate to my weekender, some to my track car. All have promoted quality conversation imo. Something a forum needs to survive. #noregrets.

I come here to talk to like minded car enthusiast and bounce ideas around with subject matter experts - I make no apologies for that.

P.S. New C63S is sexy as!

Not dissing you or your methods. Just providing some background info when someone asks if this thread has come to some sort of conclusion haha

When you were considering a GTR you never seemed convinced. And now you have one. And you still dont seem convinced.

[No Crust Racing]

I think it has, I think I'd like a 35 next.

[Hadouken]

Evo

[No Crust Racing]

Lol I think that's more pertinent for my track car thread.

[niZmO_Man]

Q60 turbo version?

#KeepItNissan #FeedRenaultOverlords

 

That's my 2c.

[No Crust Racing]

I looked at that, VR30DETT looks nice and the car itself isn't bad. Apparently Aus is not getting the AWD version

[dkbcleaner]

Haha Leroy i think that was a pretty funny summary.

Dan, What do you think of the e500 coupe?

[No Crust Racing]

Ugly.

Guess what lol, mind changed again! I spent some time with an M4 and an R35 over the weekend.

M4 is a muuuuuch nicer car. I cannot believe how rough and noisy the 35 is. M4 was almost as quick to highway speeds and it was stock. Would be line ball with a tune and exhaust but a much nicer car to drive.

R35 = Transaxle noises, road noise, suspension noise. This was a MY11 with an exhaust and a tune, 48ks, full service history. Tried it in comfort etc, barely any difference. Reminded me of my 34 in terms of harshness and my car has aftermarket coil overs/clutch and is 17yrs old. Seats are uncomfortable as hell. 
 
Convinced me there's not enough of a difference between a tuned 34 and a fairly standard R35 to warrant the change. Might sit on 34 for a while and see what M4 prices do. 

R35 low down torque is delicious and makes me want 3L+ in my car lol, the continual pull well beyond legal speeds is just dead sexy. 
 

[Leroy Peterson]

Comparing 2017 M4 to 2011 R35 seems abit unfair. Maybe 2017 R35 is a better comparison.

Not sure how BMW warranty is with tune and exhaust as mods. Probably need a set of wheels too, get rid of those nasty run flats and might save yourself buckling a few OEM wheels

[No Crust Racing]

Wasn't brand spanker M4, 2014. 

When talking to the owner of the 35 about the harshness of the transaxle/ride he said he'd also commented on that to Nissan and they let him drive a 2017 to compare, he said there was barely any difference which was in part why he just bought a cheaper second hand one. 

I also realise the M4 will likely depreciate much worse.

oh and warranty on the one I looked at expired in November and when discussing warranty options beyond that, the dealership had no issue with an exhaust and tune "within reason". 

When questioning that he said the exhaust should have cats and be of legal sound level, tune should not be for any other fuel type - no e85. 

This was an independent prestige dealer though, not a BMW specific dealer. 

 

[Leroy Peterson]

Well thats not too bad then. If it was me and about to buy the M4 id want it in writing lol.
Still think a lexus would be a much smarter buy... but thats just me
