Team diesel 4wd took another step forward today!

With any luck in 8 or 9 days I'll have thrown all my money away and purchased another car.

So, with that in mind, anyone wanna swap $20k for a 20B?  


No more blap?

Feeek I bet maintenance costs on that are not cheap at all!!!


No, they are hideously expensive to maintain.

A set of front pads and wiper blades installed at a dealer will set you back $800 according to a friend that owned one for a few months (and that was only the v6 diesel version), he sold it after getting that bill and working out how expensive maintenance items were going to cost long term.

I'm sure I can do pads and wiper blades at the shop, lol.

And a V6 diesel? Ewww!

Sounds like most german cars lol




It's ok , cost me about $220k for 3x2 ( deluxe condominium) so it's affordable:)


How much is in Japan ?


Similar to that to build in the country, but very cheap to buy an old house.

Not sure in the city but no doubt expensive even for a shoe box

True , old House much cheaper But Then You need to do lot of repairing works [emoji20] hence I bought the new one , mind you brand new house is completely empty as in no kitchen cabinets or wardrobe in the bedrooms - no lights and fancy accessories, just marble floors , once they release the house key I need to do lot of renovations [emoji849]

Morning All ! I haven't start the R35 for ages , I think it's the battery completely or something else! Very convenient especially when I plan to have a look at the Nismo [emoji15]


Morning chick!

Could be battery you with RAC?

    • SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!! 
    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
