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.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
