Re: 335i I loved them until I realized they don't come with a LSD need an M for that. 1M is a great car, won't say a great buy just yet until you can pick them up 2nd hand cheaper.

I'm tryin to hold off from a new car until jan next year, that would mean I can get a 11' plated with a decent ammount off? Looking at fpv or hsv at this stage if it makes any difference. But yeh a bit lost on the best way to go about buying a new car.

Edit: yes I'm wanting a v8 for a change of pace :) hopefully not too far off imports haha

Purchase outright, maybe an ex demo if it's like 7k+ cheaper than what I could get new at the best price. I guess what I'm asking is it worth me waiting till jan ? Or will it be stuff all saving compares to say early dec? Then at least I got a car for Xmas time

So Ex demo car 7K saving + 1 month earlier v New car

How much do they go for 2nd hand? Aren't ex-demo's generally thrashed? Correct me if Im wrong.

Also make sure the 'new car' price is the driveaway price, and does not have other hidden charges.

Do you have alot of time off work during the x-mas period and thats why you want it before then?

Edited by blah_blah

just what i saw, cant remember which ep of top gear, but they all chose the 370z over the m1

said it was a better car overall and the price was the last straw in the decision

yeah not to sure on exact figures

but i know 370z ain't no slug

I have no idea what video you are talking about??? The 1M bet the M3 around the topgear test track.

I think you are talking about 135i vs 370z...

edit: read through thread. S'all good.

come again?

you put a brake line clamp on the soft line near the caliper to stop air get in/oil getting out, less of the system will need rebleeding when you reattach the calipers.

<cool story bro>

Pulled up at lights, heard someone talking, look to my left. See a 60yr old guy in a new toyota camry looking at me. I said "sorry?" as I missed what he said. (im thinking he said some hoon comment about the car being too loud or something). He replies "nice car" and keeps mirin my car...

It seemed so out of character for him, caught me off guard.

Majority of times cars next to me always stop short of my window and other import drivers just look dead straight :(

Thumbs up to old guy :thumbsup:

    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
