So, um, is it bad if' I've just spent $2200 at auction on a car I don't have....

P.S. I wasn't even drunk!

Depends what car!

Assuming from japland?

Never been a fan of Machine Head but heard this song tonight, after a few listens I approved, however the solo doesn't match the song.

Has anyone heard about those "We buy any car" places? I'd be interested to know what they model the valuation on. I'm not planning on using them or anything, just saw a sign on the train home.

I'm guessing they would just base it off redbook like most other dealers.

In other news. Looks like I'll be getting some new turbros n stuff for the car Manager came and saw me yesterday to talk about pushing me through to a full Site Engineer position in the new year so the hard work is paying off. Looking at getting some cheap -7s off here if the guy likes my offer + 34 GTR Dumps and a Nistune.

Hey guys,

I'm a used car salesman and I can tell you now I work for the No. 1 Dealership in Australia and we HATE redbook. Redbook's information is outdated by 3 months. And if import cars are your thing, NEVER trade your car in at a dealership. They will give you less than 4/5's of f**k all... And i can also guarantee that if a car mob has to advertise to get ppl to take cars to them they are gonna lowball the bejesus out of whoever is trying to sell their car to them... It's the same as these places that guarantee minimum trade in... they either allow it on only selected cars which they jack the price up on, or if it is on any car in the yard then they jack up all the prices... or reduce their margin of movement on the price... The dealership I work for doesn't pull any BS... we don't have minimum trades, and in any circle imports are worth nothing as trades... not just to us... but we also call it like it is with the customer and advertise vehicles at nearly rock bottom prices... Our manager is willing to show his figures to any customer on vehicles to show how much he actually loses on some deals...

Nah, she'll be right mate.

Turbos and dumps acquired. Got a few sets of front pipes that I'm deciding between. Got offered some Nismo ones for $250 but they just look like the set I've already got. The other one is a set of HKS copies I think.

HKS Copies

Nismo Front Pipes

Any advice for what is better? Any significant difference between the 2?

CORREK! It is from Hapland, it just hasn't started it journey here. Hoping it'll be on a boat (insert joke about being on a boat) within a week.

Wow, it has a very 90's feel to it. It's not too bad, bit too much scream for my liking.

Congrats on the turbros. I'm glad I could be as influencial as I could!!

I wouldn't go for the Nismo pipes, as like you mentioned, they are almost identical to your current ones. THe HKS copy is a much nicer design and will improve midrange and also alter the exhaust note. Basically, you go from an unbalanced front pipe, like the Nismo one posted and your current one, to equal length pipes.

Winrar!

[Beelzebub89]

Got the equal length front pipes. Sexcellent.

[SABBAi]

Got the equal length front pipes. Sexcellent.

most excellent!

[Beelzebub89]

Starting to feel a lot like christmas The next question is, adjustable cam gears? Some graphs in the forced induction forum showing 20kw increase in mid range with some adjustment on the exhaust side. Will it be worth it with standard injectors?

[SABBAi]

Cam gear on the exhaust side is worth it. Stock injectors at sane boost will be fine. Not much gain to be had by fiddling the intake cam.

[Traditimeour]

Not much gain to be had by fiddling the intake

That's what she said

[Dan_B]

Adjustable cam gears make it smoother on the power delivery from what i've seen, small gains in power but mainly just better power curve, might aswell get one. Should get some mild cams while your at it too....

I wouldnt reccomend cams, I have poncams in mine and the loss of power down low was noticeable, for -5s I would think its better but for little almost stock turbos it seems most of the time you are better off with stock cams.

[Beelzebub89]

Yeah not bothering with cams I have to draw the line somewhere lol.

Im in a dealership over here in Perth and your right that all the 'specials' and 'deals' you get caught up in.....well, you (the customer) pay for it somewhere
