i wonder how long that engine will last in that GTR-34?

Your are obiously the same **** sucker that has come on NS and tried to defame benny and the workshop's he is at. You must be the biggest loser in vic you were told your options and yet you still complain and whinge like a primary school kid. Seriously grow up dickhead, Also that engine in the R34 is coming out as we speak and is being rebuilt to handle massive horsepower.

nice display though! i particularly loved the white 26 powered r31.

Yeah, so did i!! It was built in the owners back yard!!! Owner did all the work himself except for a few things like exhaust and most of the wiring hookup.

(and yeah.....I own it!)

what did you pay for the 26? i would love to put one in mine, but its just not gonna happen.. prob cheaper to rebuild my 25... i want it on the dyno next year!!!

Hahahaha :D Dont start!

hmm might have to talk to you about superchargers then... im contemplating one for my car, waiting for capa to get back to me with their thoughts on the capability.

don't flame me cos of this post anyone

rebuild your 25, you know where its come from, its brand new... and it wont die on you 6 months down the track.

A 25 can be rebuild to take 300+rwkw for about the price of a 2nd hand 26 anyhow.

Of course you miss the plenum and head (where the 26 excels) but meh.

you cant have it all :P

Not saying that a 2nd hand RB26 wont last etc, but its more likely than if a motor is fresh

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
