Hehe i might bring it out on a cruise one day, if you see me driving about just snag me down and i'll take ya for a drive. Its just a stock Pheonix yellow/gold one. Theres nothng special with it to tell you the truth, they dont have much torque and my gtr will slay it. Its only quick on gearshifts and looks good. And yes they do sound funny on full throttle, reminds me of a rattling milo tin getting dragged on the floor.

Let me guess your asian? LOL nah well it was a suprise cos i didnt get it until a week after my bday. But yeah parents paid mid 40's for it. which is cheap considering there about 80k on the market.

nahh im an arab :rofl: with a twist tho....

you see..points to eyebrow*** no mono! and um no VL's lol.

i dont care if its a week after or before as long as i get one.

if not. im taking the old hilux and try to throw in a 2jz

40 grand... taxed?:nyaanyaa:

nice gift, i know how it feels LOL..

anyway there are many parts you can get from the US but the AUD will let you down... jlevisw.com is an example, i usually bought parts from there, since it's european you need to spend more $$$

and yeah i think you'd better post a topic on e46fanatics.com, thats our home buddy :)

What a Bargin!

Ah well, keep it stock and sell it off.

alot of the stuff from the USA can't be used on Australian cars as they get cars with different engines then us. I'm not to sure if it applys to the e46 m3 but i know the e30 and e36 m3's had different engines and same with some of the other models

    • Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.
    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
