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.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
