I want to do a car for good looks, nice rockin sound and cruising !!

my cars have always been for cruising, not hooning!!!

not sure of what years to go for and i know nothing about cars, just love driving them, would want something

thats easy to look after if you know what i mean, and to hopefully learn from others..

Welcome to SAU Jason. :) Become a member & join some cruises & talk to the guys :P

What budget have you got? Are you on Ps? What cars excite you so far?

Advanced Drivers' Courses are good to consider.

Take a mechanic with you to inspect any 'good potential buys' and ask him/her to talk to you about what's being looked at.

From Nowra, it'd great to take a test drive to Kangaroo Valley by going up > down Cambewarra Mtn... or Kangaroo Valley Rd from Berry.

Im almost 40, but just love cars in general..

I like the R33's, but dont know much about them? particularity age worries,

and want an auto

probably around the $12000ish price , and my other concern is big milage, and how well

the car has been looked after, I like to cruise, not hoon or stir up trouble, I like to put on my 70' & 80's music and just drive

Edited by miloman

i think that u would be more suited to a bmw or something dude.

i sold my my 05 320ci last year and it did all of the thing that u want (except the old music lol)

and they r an awesome cruiser.

or a lexus ls400 nice lazy v8 and u feel like ur driving a leather sofa with wheels lol

there is no point having sports cars if u dont drive it like one

just my 2c

$12K?

Auto?

Cruise?

Yes I'd agree with JULZ ^^^

What about an E36 328i BM with full history and low Kms? Just have the DME fault codes brought up and make sure there are no leaks/seepage. Stay away from the 320i of that era. I'm 60 and had a E46 328Ci before the R34 = a great cruiser. Good cornering, comfortable & uses less fuel than the Mercs.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
