what do you hate about it hamish?

car stuff:

trying to find spark plugs with the thin thread style plug... NGK used to be able to unscrew the tip of the contact, but not anymore.

Martin: do you want a whole bunch of BKR8E's I bought and no longer can use?

what do you hate about it hamish?

Without thinking too hard about it:

Lack of throttle response

Lack of transmission response

Engine note

Lag

Heavy, horrible steering feel

No road feel

Hard, uncomfortable seats

Headrest permanently angled forwards

Lack of features

Streaming audio option disabled

Key flick thingy opens too easily

Indicators on the german side

Plain, ugly dash

Terrible driving position

Transmission in general

VW sales people

Ability to be locked inside car

Obvious planned obsolescence

The vibe

I assume by this you mean the left hand side...

I drove a workmates new civic the other day... Go to turn out of work and of course the windscreen wipers go. So I said "WTF, this is a japanese car, not european" and she said "Apparently it's the european model that we got here". I said, "but... but... it's Japanese"

Cup holders don't fit glass jars/milk bottles

Actually they do... it's the cars best feature. There are 2 cup holders and the little bit in the middle slides back and forward to alter the size. It also doubles as a bottle opener

So you bought the car sight unseen?

So you bought something which is quite expensive, arguably well overpriced based on your above review, totally dissatisfying to own and which will continue to depreciate in value.

Conversely, my red independence days are comfortable, fit well, I like the look of them, as do most other people, and only seem to be appreciating in value.

Please tell me again how I'm a douchebag for buying my shoes

    • Hey everyone!!  I've noticed that whenever I do my oil changes, after putting 4L in, the oil level sits at the top mark in the dipstick. This is after letting the old oil drain for a very long time too! I've checked the oil level daily for the past few mornings. It happens every time and it's confusing because all the threads say that it should take about 4.7L (With some just adding the full 5L) My next thought is to figure out if the dipstick I have is correct so could someone please tell me the length of the RB25DET engine oil dipstick?  I've checked images of some of the genuine dipsticks, but none of them have the length in it. https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-engine-oil-level-dipstick-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-stagea-c35-laurel-y34-cedric-gloria-rb25de-t-neo?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOortQXofgmiHVRKuIaiKuygL4k0Ewp68c3isGZk0vvKOJ7Yqf3iB However.... the engraving on the genuine ones say 05002 while mine says AA000. This makes me believe that maybe I have a wrong dipstick? I just want to confirm before I buy a new one. The car is a fresh import from Japan so I don't have details of the previous owner to ask him. Thanks in advance 🙏🏾 
    • Sport. I didn’t rebleed it cause I just removed the slave and left connected.    I will change line and slave and see how it goes.  
    • Oh and how is the rattle when foot is on the clutch ?
    • Did you get the sport or track ? From what the documentation says the uniclutch has a small amount of movement to disengage.  So your story of tricky pedal setup seems common.    Hopefully you got it bled up too, as the bite point moving around is usually either plates wearing in or air in the line.
