Each to their own but heard heaps of horror stories buy old prestige cars then shocked when something stuffs up and the repair bill is thousands!

Completely accurate.

Eurotax is crazy when shit goes wrong

Lol im not surprised considering the absolute scam that is the AUD RRP on those things in the first place

Yep definitely, I'm talking like Mercedes brake pads RRP $800-$1200. Trade price from $140-$250. Then you charge your $100 - $250 dollars an hour labor depending on independent or dealership too :P

Definitely can't compare BMW/Mercedes parts prices to Lexus luxury. My best mate works in a Merc/BMW independent workshop and his boss is absolutely loaded. The RRP and Trade Price are worlds apart.

You think lexus parts are cheap? My IS headlight was $3.5k no globe.. Wing mirror glass $800

Having said that no car parts are cheap but anything higher end price just escalated as less people work on them, supply parts and so on

Not like the old days where you work on your own car

Turn it down father in law has an amg never paid anything like that only goes to Mercedes dealer.. Ya boss having ya on mate

Merc spare parts want $2400 for one shock absorber/spring for C63. Not fitted. Found one second hand for $800.... Bargain.

Gloria window electric motor: ~$500 from Nissan. Identical 350Z part, $250 from the US shipped.

Speaking of tacky eurotrash... Was listening to Scooter this morning.

Just so we're clear, that shit wasn't cool in 93, it wasn't retro cool in 02, and it's not ironically cool now

Surely so much not cool makes it ironically cool

You don't have to be cool to sell records... look at billy ray cyrus

Funny you should mention him... I watched a movie he starred in 2 weeks ago called Radical Jack. It was amazing.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
