You've got to buy someone elses built GTR. It seems to have been somewhat successful for me! emoji16.png

Haha I'm a bit picky how I want things done, hence I doubt I could ever find a car that's built the way I like. So that leaves me two options, build it myself OR find a stock, fast, reliable car lol.

100% understand that. I was super lucky with the LM. I put a lot of trust in people i didn't know. It worked out for me, thankfully. But I can definitely understand wanting to make sure everything was done right/your way. The LM still needed cosmetic works but the mechanicals are solid so it's a good starting point. 

Fast and reliable... all i can say is never buy an E60 M5. It ticks one of those boxes and utterly fails on the other. What were you saying about a flash cable and credit card? ?

I would love an FX M5 or Even 545 etc. 

BUT I am not looking for a fast daily, I dont need more help to speed. 

Really I just want to be comfortable and then thrash something built for that. 

If I lost my work car, just a basic SZ2 Territory, I wouyld almost certainly just buy another one. I toy with the idea of a used Q7, but Terri's are so cheap to own all round and a great family car that I'd rather spend the left over on a bike/4wd mods/race car etc. 

Jesus christ we are old.

hahaha, I would have bought a real boat by now if we owned a bigger house. Hopefully once the housing market gets a bit better, we'll have a bit more accessibility to a larger house

I'm too white and my girls are full ginger so we ain't about that sunshine living. 

 

I also fit this white description. I believe pastey is mentioned often regarding my completion. My friends called me "Tip Top" because that's how white i am.
Also I can recommend a bog standard E60 530i if you like cruising around in comfort. We have a wagon and it is just perfection. Just enough power for overtaking, nice soft suspension (ish), and the interior noise is non-existent. 
It's also cheap as hell to fix if you can read codes and operate torx screwdrivers.

LOL I'm yellow and immigrant looking, constanly asked where I come from and when I reply "Sydney" and then get asked yeah but where were you born and I reply "Sydney" and people look confused.

So if I get a boat, it will suit the stereotype, I'll reply Bayliner next time LOL

Not if he's spending money on an old Skyline :P

I put some Tein street z whatever suspension ($800 delivered from UK) in the Liberty GT wagon, happy days. 250k km and head gasket hasn't blown, so good practical (wagon) daily that isn't too bad on fuel is a good idea. Leather, half decent sound system, good insulation are necessary :P

You must be really good at math. 
 

I was lol... did my 2U Maths in Year 11 and 4U in Year 12.... now all the partying, beer, drugs, E85 fumes have made me dumb

  • Haha 1

I did highest level math (was called specialist back then in Vic) and f**king hated it. Yet physics was the same math but actually applied to the real world and that ruled. 

"You need to know this because you wont always have a calculator with you"

Nigga my watch is better at math than I will ever be.

Did I mention we're old?

Yep, same. 

Everyone mentions e60, but I've read about so many issues with them and they are but ugly, sorry bro :( 

Yeah agree. The back of them are the the problem. It's solved if you get the E61 (the wagons). Bloody love em. (Also love 33s soooo, yeah i'm weird).

I wasn't stupid in school, i was just never there, cause i was a little know it all prick, i guess. Have spent the last 10 years slaving away to get ahead in the corporate world. sigh, if i'd just knuckled down instead of being an arrogant jerk, i'd be doing even better. Still sometimes you just gotta figure the world out on your own.

Yeah man, being smart at school and being smart at life are different things - don't worry, it seems you're doing just fine with your toys and assuming you own property :) 

I was a bit late to the property market game, but at least I'm in and have some money left over for subpar Garrett and Haltech parts LOL.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
