Pretty sure its the only skyline for 100km radius, and i'm not in the outback, only the country...........so sure its only a gtst [not a gtr] but its unique around here. But makes it hard to see what other ppls have done to their skyline, how they are set up etc

At this rate i'll have turned 25 and added that twin turbo before we manage to finally organise a firm date for this cruise... then again this may not be a bad thing. ;)

We don't need to have everyone there for a cruise and get-together. Who's up for just a smallish get-together this weekend anyway?

Because I spent that last 6 months waiting to be able to import a V-spec2 R34GTR and got sick to death of waiting. I still would have got the R34 if I could but there's something about buying a new untouched sportscar that just makes you feel all warm inside :worship:

I am just waiting till I turn 25 so I can mod the hell out of it without paying 5k+ for insurance :cheers:

Talking to an insurance broker friend last week, and he said their most frequent claim clients are young girls. They're constantly modding up their cars and driving too fast, he said, partly because of heaps of disposable income and partly as a status symbol.

So anyone down for a cruise this weekend? Meet up at Queanbeyan Caltex near supercheap as per normal then decide where to go??

And Contempt, were you at Tuggeranong supercheap on Sunday around 1:00 in the afternoon? Saw a damn nice black 350Z with two youngish guys in it, so assuming it was you :cheers:

Nope wasn't me. I can't go for a cruise this weekend as I am going to be out of town at a business conference :P

Next weekend I will be good... and hopefully I will have managed to get the damage done to the rear of my car fixed. Bloody airhead teenage girl in her daddies beat up old Commondore read ended me when I was stopped at a round-about. I now officially hate friday the 13th's :)

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
