LOL who the f**k said that?

2 door lancer i can see. but a skyline?

I saw about 5 lancers with women driving them. And they all had their faces against the steering wheels because the chair was moved forward and holding the wheel like an L plater

I couldn't help but laugh at them

sick of the coptention, that's why i'm buying a soarer next, cheap, good, reliable, comfortable, boring

which engine?

drove a 1u soarer on saturday. handles like a dream just as it is.

haha, i can understand the girl car comments. Only because i used to be a commodore v8 fan, and well... i dished it out a fair bit lol. whistling.gif

Lets just say, the reason i bout my 33 was it was cheap. Regardless of my 'girly' misconception of them. Then i drove it! That changed my mind drastically.

I can understand where everyone is coming from and the topic did drift off a bit there..i was sounding a bit high and mighty with the shit ive said yeah ive done a fair bit of dumb shit but never in the plain sight of the public, i dont know if i read your posts wrong dude but from the way i saw it was you saying your an elite driver and whatever i just dont take show ponying real well but if im wrong to accuse you of something you meant in a completely different way i apologize, i just hate everyone getting the wrong impression on skyline drivers being the owner of a tidy 34 i dont really get shit all that much although i will get onto some storys soon but for some reason its always the 33 owners copping shit which i dont understand...first story was when i was with my friend in his 33, its actually a very nice car and driving through smaller towns all we got was bad looks, even abused by a lady at a servo saying idiots like us driving those souped up poofter boy cars arent welcome around here if were going to do 'squealys'...which we both found hilarious as we coasted into the servo doing about 5km/h, filled up and left, in the city in my own 34 ive had really good and really bad comments...the good ones being from people who arent bias to them and can respect something nice...worst and funniest ive ever had was sitting at the gold coast sitting on the lights driving through surfers paradise after noticing a couple of guys close to me in a vl turbo the whole time i couldnt really hear a nice exhaust note or spool..just a whole lot of bov, he pulled up and looked kind of smug next to me and his mates like straight away race us at the next lights bro my boys car is turbo, i replied yeah i could tell he likes to let that blow off valve off a fair bit...he said yeah it sounds sick hey, i was like not really my thing it shouldnt be sounding like a washing machine at like 5psi then hes like what are you even talking about, laughing to myself the light went green and he kept next to me yelling to spin the wheels, i tried to ignore them but didnt want to speed off and give them the satisfation...pulled up at the next lights and he was continuing to rev the car and came out with come on bro we will give you a head start cause yours only has one of those shitty nissan engines in it, i laughed and looked at him and said...oh really, didnt know they were that bad, whats yours got in it? He replied with holden power brother..all the way, so i said oh right so thats definitely not nissans RB30 which has the same block that im running race prepped on MY 'shitty' nissan engine? He looked at his mate and was like i dont even know what your talking about dickhead you dont know shit this holden would flog your shitty import, i just replied with oh okay, it was fairly open going on to the freeway and we got a another red light i ignored them trying their hardest for a race we finally hit a 100 zone which i knew was coming up we both came out of the corner doing 40ks...they started accelerating from behind again and could tell he was on it hard i casually smacked it back into 2nd the car popped out a bit so i hit it into 3rd stuck my thumb down out the window and watched them disappear i backed off when i realized they werent exactly catching up, with lost pride they snuck back a few rows behind me

the best is when p platers in their fully sick auto commys are like boost it bro n try to race

i count down from 3 n let them just go for it hahaha

I'm thinking of a soarer next, have only ever driven a laggy tt 1jz and was fairly turned off, but thinking the v8 might be a bit of a nice "muscly" cruiser, certainly freaking cheap, insanely well equipped and sound (or can sound) amazing!!

I have only been in a 1j soarer as well. From what i remember it just had exhaust and intake mods, with a slight boost increase. It was an auto (do they come manual?) and was quite laggy, which im sure was probably the auto/long gear combination. Either way once it got on song it went very nicely. The one i went in was a toyota version, not the lexus, but it was still pretty damn luxurious and spacious inside. The guy that owned it went on to do some more mods and it ran 12s if i remember right. Spewing i didnt get to go in it at that stage.

    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
    • Oh and some up-and-comings; New rear drivers wheel bearing. I'll do that this weekend while the diff is out. The car is already up and the d/c axles and missing exhaust will help with space. This is the last bearing for me to do and I've been dragging my feet on it. I also have some new EBC blue stuff pads for the car and some new brake fluid. I haven't ever flushed the fluid in this car and looking forward to it. I have 600 degree fluid to put in. Not exactly "race fluid" but better than the typical stuff I have been using.
    • A proper clutch/plate type mechanical diff with quite a lot of pre-load and high locking % is better for drifting. Much more consistent in its behaviour. A helical can be annoyingly vague and inconsistent in how it responds under the sorts of abuse found in drifting.
    • Some updates here. I pulled the entire interior out, minus some trim to respray the seats with Colourlock dye. It turned out really nice though I accidentally let the dog in the car after and she scratched up the front seat.  This is what it looked like before, the colour was just washing out everywhere but thankfully the leather was in good nic. Then after the respray   And after the bloody dog jumped in The headliner is out waiting to be retrimmed, but it will stay out now until Nov - see why below. I replaced the stereo/headunit with a period-styled Android headunit. I have no after pics, but I'll get some. This is because of the missing pixels. I tried to fix this twice with replacement ribbon cables but couldn't. Also the bluetooth interface I'd bought for this was crap. Then there's the rusty roof. Pics and info in this other thread. I have decided to get this repaired professionally, but I'll update that thread. This is why the headliner will stay out for now. I'll be getting the roof and bonnet resprayed at the same time the rust is fixed. I also had an interesting issue with my drivers door lock.  For a small period I was having issues getting any 12v power to the car - I mean *any*. It would have no dash lights, nothing. It happened while I was at the shops and I couldn't get in the car. So, we had 2 problems. The most pressing here is that I was locked out. I have only a single physical key hole on the car, the drivers door and no amount of turning would unlock the car. Surely it doesn't need power for this? The second issue is why am I losing all power periodically, The battery isn't dead, its almost like the battery isn't even there. Two issues that were surprisingly easy to fix. You fellow BMW over-engineering lovers will appreciate this. The lock in the door has 5 states; mechanical lock, electric lock, neutral, electric unlock, mechanical unlock achieved at -90 degrees, -45 degrees, 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Although, the unlock is towards the front of the car, so opposite for LHD countries. Sticking the key in and turning 45 left or right is what is used 99% of the time. It activates the central locking etc. 90 degrees is for dead battery access and, obvs, only un/locks the one door. But because the mechanical lock is never used and is 27 years old, it seizes up. I was totally unable to turn the key far enough to get to the mechanical unlock (At the time of locking myself out, I didn't even know this was a thing). I eventually did it with some vicegrips and teflon spray.  I made a quick vid for other E39 peeps.   The battery issue is totally new to me also - It wasn't making sufficient contact between the post and the terminal. The terminal was bolted on tight, but the car wouldn't have power. After checking the battery with my multimeter I accidentally contacted the terminal and the battery post and the car got power. The battery was only a few years old and in good condition. I cleaned the post and the terminal with a wire brush, bolted it back on tight and never had the issue again. I'm still surprised that despite having solid contact it didn't work. Also, the car was getting Warragamba sized pools of water in the back when it rained. My initial concern was another rust problem. But when I went out on Weds while it was raining and while I had no headliner in I could see a steady stream of water coming through the roof mounted aerial. As this aerial is for the (now removed) car phone I pulled it out and whacked a blanking grommet in the hole. It seems fine now. I'm thinking I might get the hole permanently filled when the rust is fixed. Moving forward and things in progress; The tailgate needs some attention. I have taken all the trim off to clean it all and address some small rust spots. I have partially done all of this but I'll finish it up hopefully this weekend. As all the trim are now entirely devoid of trim clips I have bought a heap of strong velcro and I'm hoping it does a good enough job as any of this trim in good condition is super expensive and usually in Europe as we dont have many of the wagons here. Suspension and brakes!!! This is exciting. In the front; New control arms New sway bar links New lower Eibach springs (the only modification I'm planning on this car) M Sport shocks (these came with the car and will replace the longer shocks in the car) New top mounts Used 540i calipers (stock brakes suck!) New 540i disks and pads (22x296 mm for 528 and 30x334 mm for 540i) New front wheel bearings (thank all that is holy for bolt on bearings!) Annnnd in the back; New control arms New sway bar links Adjustable air suspension arms (fool the car into what the current height is so the self levelling suspension can match the new front ride height) New ball joints I'll also be doing a brake fluid flush while I'm in there. I'm planning on switching the car over to the 16's that came with it so I can clean up and respray the M Sport 17's. They've lost a lot of colour over the years and have some gutter rash. None of this will start until the E90 is back.
