RC-F or something? 

I like the Q60 Red sport, but the depreciation on a brand new luxury car would be pretty horrendous. 

Sure, cars costs money, but I am too much of a jew to to piss that kind cash up the wall. Would rather have 2 cars instead. 

Lexus (RC-F) much heavier with less torque available and a smaller power band with a conventional auto =\ 

Doesn't seem that appealing, but as with everything hard to know unless you drive it.

Conventional auto more appealing to me. Easier to service/maintain, and youre not completely f**ked and relying on dealerships if something goes wrong. If its a bit sluggish, someone probably makes a shift kit for them. Bobs your uncle.

Look at us being all old and discussing autos lol

That's how I know I'm old... 

I hate autos as much as the next broad minded person. But when you like a car and it only comes in auto... Do what you gotta do

Just quietly the M4 is a ground up built road car, that they have "tweaked" into a performance car. 

The GTR was a ground up build to go around a track as fast as possible, whilst being street legal.

Yeah I get that, they're very different cars. It's more an indication of my changing tastes.

 

As has been pointed out before though, by Leeroy I think, I talk a lot and am very indecisive. While all this was going on I was still buying parts for the 34 an just dropped it off to the tuner yesterday so I'm not "sold' on any 1 direction. 

I'll just keep trying to win lotto :)

Hah, nah the 1 and 2 series don't do it for me. 

I did consider selling the 34, selling the S13 and just buying a really well developed track car and a good trailer :D

The 1 series M that i got to drive was better than the M3 that i drove of the same era ;)

I got some good feedback on the M2 and admittedly haven't driven it because aesthetically it doesn't stir my loins. 

fair enough, aesthetics are important.

I got a 2013 c63 with performance pack for the mrs back in January. This thing has no problems keeping up with 350kw gtr's. You will love the low down tourqe (as this is what sold me on it in the first place). Sounds heaps better than an m4 and is practical with 4 doors. Take one for a drive if you enjoyed the r35 power delivery.

    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated
