Pissing the money against the wall is probably as smart as building a race car and some would say the hangover is easier to deal with Have fun.

It cant be compared to Australia, the cars in Australia are amazing, particularly the power skids, there were say two cars in NZ that could do a power skid vs 100's in Australia. Also, we got told to slow down on the race track when we tried to go around a corner at like 50kph, I drive faster in my driveway.

Foo that's a thick one! Cool to see the 335i's have fallen to a price point where tuning enthusiasts are starting to play with them a bit more, its great that the rest of the world have been doing it for 7 or so years so the development is done and the car is old enough that the parts have come way down in cost. Can see quite a few of these beasts being built over the next few years.

Was going to go but then realized I am not a bogan. A good mate is going in his big block ego (penis) enlarger, I just give him sh*t and tell him it is secretly a conference for men with small cocks and a love of premixed bourbon and cola.

Hmm. Have you put it up on Nissan Forums here and in Australia? May get a bit more for in in Aus. Not much use to me but I can appreciate what these things cost and how hard it is to sell.

Have you looked at Pirelli or Michelin? I would think they do good tyre's in that size. Or look at a 185, more options there.

I would think 85-90k for the full electric, as high as 100 for the hybrid with extended range. 0-100 in just over 7 seconds and lighter than a Mini should mean it will be O.K to drive.

So much noob for one thread.

f**k you in your flash BMW, I am not letting you in, how dare you try and merge in that merge lane when I was here first, i will shift into the middle lane after you merge at the same time blocking someone else trying to do 100.. Same old rant. I get *555'd on a weekly basis from drivers who I scare when simply tryng to drive 100kph. Thuglife.

Welcome. That is a cool colour for a E46, have never seen one before. Is your car manual? I know some are, would make for a nice drive.

A free video on the internet didn't entertain me enough, think I will have a moan and pooh pooh it sitting at my computer desk Next time they should make it better and pay me to watch it, maybe a free Monster or a pair of DC's for my trouble

Don't you drive an automatic station wagon and a automatic soft top? Your driveway must look like in belongs to a semi retired couple in Remuera circa late 80's I will enjoy my manual sports car on my 100th birthday

I wish I had of worn sunblock.

Welcome. Fantastic first car. Enjoy.

Also, a min F/L E30 318is with nice gold center split wheels, stance and colour coded lip heading south on old great south road towards Bombay. Nice.

Gold PFL E30 4-door in Pukekohe sporting lowered suspension and TECH-II side skirts and an enthusiastic driver.

Its the raised hip line and over all height increase in the newer car that looks average.. To me the E46 is about where the proportions last worked on a three series or made it stand out from any other car..

Very sexy, looks like a 428i... and every other german car on the market.

+1 Try Gavin first and support a local business and forum sponsor, he is often as cheap as importing and saves the hassle and liability..

Have you ever considered co-driving a rally car, you may be a perfect candidate.

I think that's the place, he is not to be found on the internet. Its on Ingram Street, he operates out of a small workshop down a long drive way, he is a bit of a character. I was amazed that he fixed my bumper, it was in literally 9 pieces and took a big hit through a concrete fence.

I use a guy in Papakura, I know Brent uses him too, he does a good job... Recently welded my bumper back together from 9 pieces. I dont have his details, Brent might.

Yes, the on paper points are not that fair and the system needs revising in places, ANCAP are the worst and unfortunately that is where a lot of our products safety standards are tested, local Toyota product for example, I guaranty the Japanese Hilux does not have stability control. A certain manufacturer has just released a new model that scored 5 stars in Europe setting a new class standard but when tested in Australia was marked down for not having rear airbags, they simply marked it down looking at the sales brochure's feature list and did not account for the fact it might not need them due to the cars safety cell design and advanced curtain bags. I would never take ANCAP's results seriously, its probably half the reason some vehicles have stupid features built in, my car for example has a chime that kicks in when I don't have my set belt on and chimes louder and louder until I put it on, this is annoying in a car park or when you are reversing... also has a stupid speed limit programmer where you can cap the cars speed.. have not used it once but it gives it "safety points"

Trade the folkswaggon pussat. Profit.

Have you checked all bulbs are working properly? Will be something simple, just try replacing all the bulbs first, should be less than $10, its a process of elimination and that is a good place to start, make sure the fittings are clean also.
