  1. Which one is which?? The Infiniti cost $60k, even adding another $10k that's only $70k to spend, what does that money buy. A 10 year old GTR for around $75k, but would you, I personally wouldn't touch a cheap 10 year old GTR with a 10 foot barge pole. Those things cost your kidneys when they break.
  2. So, sitting at home bored looking at supporting stuff required if I do boost. Next minute. I pick them up tomorrow. And yes, they are unequal lenght I've dropped a coil/plug/cylinder design. FULLY HEKTIC Disclaimer: eBay and pain medication strikes again. All I need now is a supercharger........
  3. Mate, I try and do my best, sadly my best doesn't really cut it. I have been "sort of" lucky, born in 1965, I had my first car at 15, I have burnt my fair share of fossil fuels with every conceivable infernal combustion engine there is, but now, as I'm getting older, the YOLO has a few issues, namely, my children. What will the world be like when my kids are my age, 2050 at this stage looks like it's going to be a shit show. If you "get in there real deep like" and look at some of the predictions IRT fresh water supply, drought, food supply it don't look good at all. Meanwhile, I'm contemplating boosting my 86. I told you I'm one of the stupid ones. Warning: don't get me started on my views of population growth and how we have come so far past the tipping point it isn't funny This is an interesting, even though it is outdated. The Population Bomb is a best-selling book written by Stanford University Professor Paul R. Ehrlich and his wife, Anne Ehrlich, in 1968
  4. Because the majority people are inherently stupid as well as short sighted. As long as we are happy now we will use plastic, burn fossil fuels, smoke cigarettes, pump raw sewage into the oceans and rivers. Whilst we are doing this we will happily import goods from third world countries, use their land to grow our crops, their factories to manufacture our goods, and then bash burn and bury their environment and people. We export fossil fuels/uranium to the third world so they can manufacturer our goods, all whislt at the same time shaming them. Me, I'm one of the stupid ones, I'm a consumer
  5. Yeap new and reliable vs ......not
  6. https://images.app.goo.gl/qsCgGU76bWziREs46 Fastback looks shit. Actually......its a 4 door sedan, where did this "fastback" term come from? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fastback Marketing at its best, or worse, one of the 2. Anyways, I really like the i30 N Hatch, it certainly is cheap vs the GTI and Renault Megane RS, but how will the resale be. At least reliability and aftersales service is better than VW and Renault. You buy, do skids, post pics.
  7. I estimate full boost by 4.5k, a responsive 375 killerwasps with a big fat flat 685 pillowcase curve, or.....https://www.sau.com.au/forums/forum/12-for-sale-private-car-parts-and-accessories/ Disclaimer: I've got man flu so all guesstimates are based off the Codral night time I'm washing down with Jack Daniels. I'm washing down with with Jack Daniels. Washing down. What was the question
  8. I had 380kwatw and shit kept breaking doing 3 lap sprints and some drags.
  9. Nice yellow 34 on carsales, expensive as hell (34k), but looks real nice. After dropping a few k on it, it would be fun, maybe. I wonder if I can find 40k in the lounge?
  10. Oh, that looks good. I am scared of the reliability factor, BMW's were rubbish when I was growing up, poor after sales and blindingly expensive for parts and to service. I was told if I really wanted one to buy it new and then sell it before the warranty ran out. Have things changed?
  11. Look at the neat tool lay out. My tools live in a couple of boxes which get tipped out to find stuff. I keep thinking about what car I want next, I don't have a clue though, it does need to go around corners well, and be RWD, and manual......I'm a idiot.......
  12. All of the powers, all of them, just wound back a bit so it doesn't break stuff getting it on of off the trailer. Or 10% lower than the weakest link Stolen picture of possible weakest link
  13. Will need pads eventually, current Brembo pads are dust making machines. Only problem is the car doesnt go fast enough to wear them out quick. Plus I do avoid using brakes because I then need to get back up to speed, which can take a while.....
  14. I'm sure we could dig some up........
  15. 15mm spacers all round for hektic sortofflushness. No free stickers so no added hp.
  16. Yeap, and then they will most likely make sure the inspection is, lets say, extremely thorough. If I was the cop/traffic authority that's what I would do. Just clear the defect and frame it for posterity. I had a collection of them in my youth. Or fight it, but keep uninformed.
  17. Car now beeps when opening and closing. Well, that one of the added features. The boy has a new game, how many times does it take for him to kick the tyre to set the alarm off till I throttle the life from him. It's getting close to the winning number.....
  18. So when the tuner askes me what my goals are in relation to boost, my answer should be.....MAD DOSE....
  19. The eldest girl got on the turps and left her car at Menai. Obviously me and the Mrs had to go pick it up because she is to lazy to do it herself and her mum will not say no to her. In saying that, I rarely say no to the Mrs, I might be dumb but I'm not stupid.
  20. It's a silencer. IMO it's a bandaid for poor design. Take it out and its louder, put it in and its quiter, quiter due to restriction.
  21. Rims LM GT4? Unless knock offs?
  22. Strange that it wasn't stripped? Logan, the bogan central of Queensland, to dumb to make a profit off crime..
