But if we weren’t building these we’d be bored 

I would probably have a meth addiction or  be a heroin addict.

Suppose building cars is better on the health however consumes as much money lololol

I need to go racing again, I think I am having withdrawals.

I got into golf. Spent as much on memberships and 'upgrades' than I did on the stag lol 

 

What will be your first track for a shakedown?

LOL sport for the rich!

Probably Wakefield Park as always, but my track record has been bad. Last 3x track days, binned 2x motors 😂

No no no

Keep Skyline for cruising and street fun

Buy something you don't care about binning or breaking for the track

I would hate to see you scratch those shiny panels

That's what they were for when they were cheap and parts were cheap and plentiful

I think its time you get a dirty track car like a 130/135i 😂🤣

You might be onto something here! No need for a RB30 swap.

A few friends run them in production car sprints & hill climbs. Seem to be pretty good thing and cheaper than an M2/3/4 flappy paddle, farting gearshift thing.

135i are quite affordable, just reflash dis dat, FMIC, dump pipe/de cat and you're at 300kW on 98RON

Man, maybe I should sell my tulip-R and buy yours, much much better than mine.

Immaculate, you have my vote for AutoSalon.

Also BMWs suck, 1L/3,000km of oil is considered normal wtf. My GT-R overheating at EC used 0.5L

  • Thanks 1

But it doesn't have that "street cred" clout dis dat GT-R status.

GTS-t will always be like Bottas in Mercedes, make room for the the GT-R aka Hamilton.

But hey, I'll let it go for $60k lol.

Wife said I can buy a M3 hehe but need to sell the boat.

So have you driven one yet?

Why do you even want a M3? It does nothing better (incl reliability and cost) than your current vehicle for spirited driving.

It is all downsides.
Please explain.

No, I've been in a M4 and was driven in anger and I was impressed it was 100% stock.

The R33 doesn't spark joy anymore. Just sparks anxiety, defect anxiety, attracting randoms stopping in the of my house asking if it's for sale.

I want a fast boring looking car that kind of blends in.

Can I interest you in a LS swapped R34 Sedan? I assure you it is boring as hell but considerably more everything to drive than a current M3 comp.

(it is also completely and utterly invisible)

Drive a M3, then Buy a Golf R. Or a GR Yaris or something. Or a GR Supra or something. The M3 is not an enthusiast vehicle. It is a more-capable-than-you-expect luxury car devoid of feeling.

    • 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.
