speaking of illegal activity... yesterday's car meet at carribean gardens: so many p-players driving turbo cars. turbo civic, stock 2JZ supra, A45 AMG, VW R36.

not sure if borrowing parents cars or just not giving 2 ducks

Column A and Column B.

Was the A45 red with ricey black features? Looking more like a Civic Type R?

R36 isn't turbo, but not sure if P player friendly. Think it might be just over the limit. Certainly faster than a lot of not P plater friendly cars.

This is not correct anymore..

You can drive it for 90 days a year, as long as you have a logbook

Which pretty much means you fill out the logbook before you go, except the date field.

Get pulled over? Write date down quickly, and then you're good to go.

Mate with Club reg BMW has actually been asked exactly 0 times for his logbook the 4-5 times that's been pulled over/through a booze bus etc.

You'd be quite lucky to work 90 days a year and still get paid for the full year.

A45 was white, no mods. 2 guys got out looking particularly wanky.

on that note: didnt see any 34GTRs and thought that was odd. nek minnit 3 rock up. must have slept in after a long night doing prinny runs since one had unburnt fuel covering half of the rear end of the car. must have recently bought it :P

What's the retail on an A45?

Very slight chance he may have acquired it himself on the basis he worked full time straight after highschool and is towards the end of his P Plates.

What sort of income levels does Mercedes require before you can finance one? inb4Aaron

Other 99% chance is via parents

That's my guess

Or.... you'd be unlucky to get your logbook checked 91 times a year...

Or you might get a cop who just complies with the rules and takes off your club reg when he sees your a dodgey that doesn't fill it out :P

$74990 plus on roads I think

I'm not sure of the credit side lol I only deal with them when they fail

They aren't that hard to acquire though. Going by the amount of young people getting around in Euro/luxury cars lately

Say the finance is 4 years

Plus say interest of 10% would bring total to $105,000

Thats repayments of $2,188 a month or $547 a week. That's still alot of cash for a teen in addition to what they already spend

I am a human calculator

I know this guy in Hallam who drives all these exy Mercedes

prob on the 2% rate for 24 or 36 months. big deposit and then sell back for a loss.

I'm surprised so many people I know get suckered into cheap car finance.

And I ask them, if car company is making a loss at by financing at below the RBA interest rate, where do you think they will make their money back from?

Maybe I should have remained single, stayed with my parents and financed a Gallardo....

    • Looking at finally painting and installing my R32 GTR wing I bought back in 2018. I got two quotes: Quote 1: $880 includes: wing, spare boot, holes welded up prep/paint. Pro: full boot with wing AND hole-less boot with lip i can swap between Con: $$  Quote 2: $330 wing only. Pro: cheaper Con: lose my (relatively) rare no holes sedan boot Also to consider I do plan on painting my whole car at some point "soon" (been saying that since 2018) Anyway Enjoy these All Japan Day 2025 pictures of my 4 door, still rocking the Calsonic Livery! Rolling in Interior shot Matching Peer Pressure Racing overalls are pretty cute ngl. This year was a hard 1990 cut so I got to be over with all the older cool stuff Next to arguably the best car there. A mighty S-Cargo
    • I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.
    • Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.
    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
