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.

    • 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.
