Hey guys,

wanted to see if anyone has one fitted.

Pics anyone?

yes it would look disgusting and out of place, although i want to know if you can have one made that is removable that doesn't have to be cut out of your rear bar.. one that comes out and curves up that can be hidden under the car when not in use.

basically i have a boat and not enough money for another car to tow it with!.

Any ideas good places to ask in sydney..

cheers

I currently have two cars, have a VN Calais with a tow bar which comes in handy for pulling a trailer, or chucking the bikes in the back seat, or whacking roof racks on and strapping a kayak on. I want to sell my VN, but dont think id consider putting a tow bar on the 33 to carry the bikes - just wouldnt look right! A stagea wld be handy though!

You should be able to go to any tow-bar place you trust, and they should be able to knock up a custom one fairly cheap - theres not much too em. They get the car up on the hoist, and look for places to weld to your chassis.

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!!

      The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.

      My BMW 335i

      I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.

      Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
