Finally after months of searching, I now have my very own 09 MY10 R36 sedan and im loving it.
Shes pretty unmolested other then Alpine sat nav HU, VMR 19" wheels and the stock exhaust has been played around with a little (high flow cats, res delete).
When I picked up the car, i did notice it had a slight lifter rattle noise on start up and went away after a quick blip of the throttle and it wouldn't come back until you did another cold start. did an oil change with VW approved castol 5w30 (the oil that came out of the car was really dark and thin) and the lifter rattle is now 99% gone. will do another oil change soon and hopefully that clears out any gunk and coats the internals nicely but so far really happy with the results.
With the high flow cats installed I am getting an o2 sensor error code and car running rich code (can see it running rich when on full throttle) so hoping to get that sorted out with a tune.
Also the usual drivers seat bolster has collapsed so would like that sorted
Plan is to have a nice daily driver so a little low to get rid of the guard gap and a nice exhaust thats not barky/raspy up top
now question time:
Im in SE Melbourne (Heathmont area) and looking for recommended workshops to carry out regular servicing. The previous owner used to take the car to Volkwerks. Not 100% sure if I'll continue to take the car to them or try somewhere new that is high recommended?
Does anyone in Melbourne have a stock exhaust they would be willing to sell or swap for what I have as I would like to go stock for the moment till I decide what exhaust I would like to run or get made.
