dunno bout common faults but on mine ive

replaced all hoses/pipes in engine bay as they were perishing (including fuel pipes also)

including powerstreering pipes

new startermotor (old one totally wore its bushes)

shreads tyres due to suspension being haddit (would always wear off the inside ring of the tyres, regardless of how many balances/alignments i got done (new coil overs fixed it)

new steering column switch

fixed solder on power windows

new thermo fan (old one cracked)

new o2 sensor (to try and fix fuel economy, still attrocious)

I've had my

Radiator - replaced with new

Fan Clutch - replaced with new

Coil Packs - replaced with 2nd hand (twice)

Battery - replaced with new

Water Pump - replaced with new

Timing belt (did it with water pump) - replaced with new

Nothing too much really - usual wear and tear parts I would say - except for the coil packs!

Ive had mine for over a year now....

I have replaced:

- Spark Plugs

- Brakes

- Tyres

Just the things you would do on a normal family car, so i havnt had any troubles (touch wood).

Things that need changing in the next 6 Months:

- Clutch

- Timing Belt

- Water Pump

So all in all ive gotten off alright.

I guess it just depends if you buy a clean car or a worn out car....

I've had my car for going on 4 years now and all I've had to change on it were brakes, spark plugs, timing belt and tyres (plus regular servicing of course!)

The only thing that has gone wrong with it so far is that the electric side mirrors don't work anymore but that's an easy fix if I could be bothered.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Interesting. My tuner said after the tune that my fuel economy would be better but it is the exact same from what I could tell even though my car was running rich before lol. How much do km do you reckon you get on a full tank of petrol on your commute?

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.

      My BMW 335i

      Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
