If you get desperate and feel like driving over east you can borrow mine :thumbsup:

EDIT: aren't us eastsiders a good bunch haha

Yeah whilst you give him the solenoid and make him a drink. I will put his car on bricks and take his wheels :ninja:

Tony, does it go from 5psi to 7psi?

Billy, PM John Aja ssxRicho, I think he have couple from his wreck(s)

Yeah. Though actually better get them off Rick or John though, not sure where mine is in the garage atm.

Just buy one already...

Clicky

Was looking at that one for a while...glad I didn't buy it because the engine popped and he dropped the price to about 18.5k...now rebuilding the engine himself and has put the price back up again.

on the way home was thinking either a low'ish K FD or a high'ish K M3 the way i see it they'll both probably end up being money pits and cost about the same to maintain etc

hopefully this dude buys my car then whatever comes up first i'll probably grab

6-8 x 4

no spotter

drove next to a red FD on the way home, they sit pretty nice and low :dry:

Many lolz I have had benching with no spotter and getting stuck

+ 1 on the FD. But either way can't lose if your other option is an M3.

Any exciting car is going to end up a money pit. You either buy an every-man-and-his-dog Commodore/Falcon and enjoy the cheap parts and reliability, or buy a real sports car and fork out for it - but catch peoples looks when you drive past.

That said, I'd take an FD over an M3 as far as money pit status goes. 13B and RX7 bits can be found everywhere...that M3 engine pops and you're in strife!

by the time an m3 engine pops the rotor would've most likely popped 3 or 4 times lol

just going by what i hear/read rotors are trouble but yeah...

    • This has been covered a bazillion times but google wet boiling point vs dry. Motul is only good when it's fresh, once it absorbs moisture it gets pretty average very quickly. So as above, make sure you change it if you're going racing. I run the Endless brake fluid in mind, but only because a mate is a distributor and it's cheap. It's not quite as good as SRF but I'm running 380mm rotors on a Skyline so it's not like they get hot.
    • That's the thing, they still add it and it makes fuel cheaper, implying adding 10% of it drops the cost of 91 by what, 5c a liter? I remember when it was barely half the price of 98. Because you know, 85% of what is in the fuel is way cheaper than 91 fuel is by volume.
    • Auto electricians that do repairs on automotive AC systems can source service kits. I don't know where they actually source them. I do know that there is one available for the R34 comp that I would need it for. If you have to pay someone to dismantle, clean and do needed repairs and fit kit contents, then you'd probably end up spending a good fraction of the cost of a new one. I would not be paying for that, because I would be doing it myself. My mechanic (bro-in-law) will happily source what is needed. Back in the day (like in the 80s and 90s), rebuilding an AC compressor was the standard approach, same as for starter motors, alternators, etc, because new replacements were v. expensive. After the China manufacturing boom and the rise of the disposable approach to everything, people just started throwing broken/worn stuff away and not rebuilding things.
    • Is rebuilding it even a thing? Where would the shop find parts for it? I looked at some off these local online stores for my r34 and suprisingly they had brand new aftetmarket ones for $600-800 I think. I guess r32 might be a bit tougher.
    • I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
