BMW are more drivers car. But i'm the same, except i haven't owned any :D Just been brought up around them (dad's cars) 320i, 528i now 530i. Trying to talk him into a E46 M3, he's due to change soon :)

If i JUST wanted to cruise, i MIGHT think about Benz for half a second :D Altho i'm not totally digging the new BMW style, and Mercs i must say, some looke better than their respective BMW models. S over 7, E over 5. But i like the 3 and Z4 over the C and Kompressor. IMO

Anyways, to Simon, how u gone about looking for a R34? Looking locally or you going to go the whole import thing?

cheers.

Aaaaahh Daniel... I'm guessing you're sicilian or calabrese "That hard head of yours :D".. always a BMW man. You think benz are just cruisers ha, let me know what you think of this "upcoming" cruiser from mercedes??

PS: We've got number 1 on order for the AMG version (hopefully 65 not 55) don't bother ordering VIC plates, we have them all CLS.1 + CLS.55 + CLS.65

Did somebody say "old mans car"? My GrandFather wouldn't drive that merc *from post #1 *, he's too young for that..... The Gentlemens Agreements states you're actually not allowed to drive that car unless you're 80 or older & on you're 3rd artificial heart...:looney:

How about CLSAMG? :)

Don't get me wrong - I'd love pretty much all the high performance German cars, but there's something I just love about turbos - and Mercedes can't offer that to me.

Porsche and Audi on the other hand...

Mercedes has a turbo soulution for you..

how about a current SL65 AMG, its a 6 litre twin turbo v12, with 1000nm of torque, and i forget (about450?) kw...

auto only, but im sure its quick enough, and turbo :)

get the gs300! not bad eh..

The 600s (eg SL600, CL600) are also twin turbo. But the 600s are only 5.5 litre with about 500hp and 800nm torque.

a Merc is definitely not old man's car...not unless its an old rust bucket merc...it's a rich bastard's [old or young] car...Just saw a L plater driving a CLK320 (convertible) zoom past couple hrs ago.

If i am one of them rich bastards I'd have more than one AMG Merc.

umm isnt an m3 only 160k?

not really 200k+

and datsss bloody nice........

ummmmmmmm SL55 *drooolz*.........why get a low model of merc when you can get the highest/top model of jap import in an R34 GTR. ITs like a boxter vs r34gtr...there isnt a choice at all....r34 gtr all the way.....but a porshe carerra GT3...now dats a different story......

the M3 is question is the CSL which is over 200K and as far as i know there arent anymore thats you can buy new.

im a skyline owner and a very happy one at that but nissan compared to mercedes benz???

sorry guys but im going the merc

but then again ill always go euro over jap

Personal preference, its something we all have. But if I have $200,000 to spend on a car. I can buy

A: Some Real nice luxury reasonably quick Merc

or

B: A r34 GTR with about $100,000 worth of mods to it....

I think i'll be taking the 10 second car! I'd love a faster car over a more luxury car. The skylines give ya what ya need anyway in regards of power steering, windows, climate control, stuff like that. Guess i just like a car that feels like a non-stop roller coaster :P

yea thats fair enough and a 10 second R34 is very tempting but a benz has been my dream since i was a little kid.

hopefully my 32 will run 10s once its all back together so now all i need is the benz ive always wanted and my car collection is finished :P

How about CLSAMG? :P

Ok Ronin.. maybe most of them except that one.. Initially the car was expected to be called a CLE so we ordered a set of those plates aswell, I think vicroads are having a ball with half the plates we've ordered over the years... this tuesday we're going to the launch of the new 911 at porsche Melbourne, who knows we might have a skitzo attack and consider a 911 instead :slap:

Starts chant... GT3! GT3! GT3!

I believe they have a red GT3 available for immediate delivery, possibly a black one with roll cage (though I think it has been sold) ;)

    • 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.
