Murphy's Law

1) If you get a puncture, what's a bet it'll be on the most expensive tyre in the convoy, like a Pirelli P-Zero

2) If you're offered a "Flat-Out" pressurised tyre repair, what's a bet the rubberised fluid comes straight back out the puncture hole?

3) If you take your space saver out to save weight, what's a bet you'll need it?

4) If you lend out your jack, what's a bet it won't get returned?

5) If you've just had a paint job, what's a bet the panelbeater keeps the lock nut socket accidentally?

6) If you're in a hurry to use a loaned jack, what's a bet you'll jack up the car in the wrong spot?

7) If you remove the wheel to put on a loaned space saver, what's a bet the space saver wobbles down the road because the hubcentric ring hasn't been removed?

8) After finally getting onto Tyrepower Dapto and they'll say they'll be there at 3.10pm, what's a bet they're closed when you arrive?

Dear Oh Dear > Poor Owen :huh:

A whole herd of SAU members > Tyrepower Dapto come to the rescue > Owen's on his way by 3.30 :wub:

And I know how Owen feels, because my LMGT4 rim cracked last month, and Terry didn't have a space saver then either did he? >_<

Terry sincere thanks to Steve-0 (N1GTR) + Simon (O2 Autosports Nowra) + Nigel (One Spot Wheel Repair Unanderra) + Genelle (Humbla)

Hi Guys (and gals),

Just wanted to say what an awesome time I had on the cruise on Sunday. It was my first one with SAU and thought it was a blast. Thanks for being so accommodating to have a (nearly) stock 22 yr old BMW along for drive - I enjoyed getting the old girl to wag her tail. It was an awesome sight seeing all those suberb Skylines ready for the drive up the pass. However, I didn't see them for long - you all buggered off on me hahaha :rofl2: . Can't wait for my M engine and gearbox conversion (when the boss allows it). I will post pictures when I figure out how to do it. I hope to come along another time.

Cheers

Hey Brad,

I had a quick look at your bimmer - it looks great mate, was good to see it on the day; it's always good to have some variety!

So an S38 motor from an M5 then? :) The E39 M5 rims look great on the car btw.

I will have to bring out my Bimmer to keep yours company the next time there's a meet up :P

It's a lot easier to ask for forgiveness than permission....

Thanks Matt.

Yeah S38 is my choice but also considering S54 or S62. There are more S54's available. Current rims are good but only 17s. Goal is staggered 18s.

Am always interested in seeing more Bimmers.

Mate I think there'd be a few very disappointed souls if you left your Nur at home - I'd be one of them. Stunning car mate.

Agreed:-). Best looking headlights available. They too are on my mod list.

Thanks mate. :cheers: S54 would be a great option I would think, and as you say there'd be plenty available compared with the S62 or S38 I would have thought. Plus it would retain the six-cylinder theme of the E34 M5. an M- V8'd E34 would be awesome though :)

M Parallels are the go I reckon:

I was looking for these for my E38 but I'm pretty happy with the style 69s that are on the car at the moment. Same fitment, 8" front, 9.5" rear.

Plenty of Mpar's available overseas it seems, but postage is ridiculous.

Yep, M Para's are in the top 3, along with Rondell 58s and the ultimate (at 2K a pop) AC Schnitzer Type II Racing (in 19s).

Any idea on the cost of shipping a set of 4 wheels from OS? USA? UK?

Yeah I like both of those, the Schnitzers suit the E30 and E34 designs really well.

Haven't costed a shipment of rims from overseas myself, but have seen prices like these: M Parallels on eBay. I'm sure you could do a lot better than $1,300 for shipping though... :blink:

There was a mint E34 M5 3.5 at the Classic Throttle Shop in North Sydney a while ago, it was there for more than a year with about $45K on it from memory, low kms and great condition. Most M5s have got stratospheric mileage now unfortunately as they're just such great cruisers.

Yep, either huge miles or a huge price-tag! The M5 attracts its price because, well, it's an M5! The 540i attracts its price because the 6spd manual was so rare and (apparently) such a nice car!

Either the M5 or the 540i would be soooo nice, but I shall continue to dream... :rolleyes:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
