I have a samsung galaxy S8 plus 64 GB Exynos, tiny crack on the left side of the phone screen, doesn't spread, affect visibility or usage. Phone is grade B, comes with box and complete accessories.

Outright sale 80K, looking to swap and pay the balance for S10+

Location Anambra

dljbd1:
Awesome...thanks.

I will most likely stick to Google all through the way. Hopefully, I might get a friend who is a bit familiar with the roads to accompany me. But either way Google will be my friend. I hope not to jam too much traffic on that day. I will also hold some naira notes too.

As for the papers, I need to recheck these. I have non-factory tint and I have a tinted permit already. I learnt that I will also need a doctor's report as well. Don't know how true that is cos I have never been asked that so far. But I am already processing one sha to ensure I don't get delayed unnecessarily.

I know the Onitsha to Abakiliki route like the back of my hand. If I'd be around and/or available when you're ready, I would be glad to guide you through that axis, we could make a convoy out of it maybe reach out to me when it's time.

Frankly I think that it's a thing of shame that we are a community of auto enthusiasts and we don't have these road trips and car meets, like cars and coffee hangouts, more often.

HeavenlyBang:
Ahhh. Sorry, boss. I forgot.

The craftsman is not comfortable with the number being shared in an open forum? I know some people may not be. If that is the case let me know so we can figure out how to reach out privately.

Carmartng:
Driving is fun but not when your car is smoking, as this causes pollution both to humans and the environment. A vehicle in a good state doesn’t produce much smoke

What causes a car to smoke?

There are a number of factors that can make a car smoke, such as coolant entering the combustion chamber, a cracked engine block or cylinder head, or a leaking head gasket, oil getting into the combustion chamber. Which can be attributed to oil sneaking past the piston rings, or seeping past the valve stem seals. Never mind all the technical long story, it takes just a little time to fix it up.

Different colors of smoke can mean that different areas of the vehicle are in distress. Here’s what you need to know if you witness white smoke, black smoke, burning smell coming from your car, or if it is simply steam from a hot engine on a cold day.

What does BLUE smoke from my exhaust mean?

If your car is blowing blue smoke, it’s a clear sign that the engine is burning oil. What happens is that the valve guide seals or piston rings are worn out, and oil is leaking past from where it should be lubricating the moving parts, to the combustion chamber where it’s being burned up with the fuel. A car can also produce a blue smoke of it’s that’s if the car is turbocharged; the smoke being a sign that the blower is in need of rebuilding or replacement.

If you notice your car producing blue smoke, Clean the drain back holes carefully and recheck and reassemble them. After the mending job, wait for 2 or 4 more days for the remaining oils to clean away. Replacing Valve seals is not too hard and can be done at home by someone who can work on engines comfortably. Changing the valve seals is dependent on whether the Engine has an Overhead Cam or not. If your Engine has an Overhead Cam, it will require more work as we need to remove it to access the Valve Stem.

What causes a car to smoke black color
Black exhaust doesn’t always indicate impending doom. If your car emits a little black smoke at start-up, but it clears up as the engine warms to operating temperature, don’t worry – that’s normal for some cars. If it continues after the car warms up, there’s cause for concern. If that’s the case, here are the likely culprits:

Black exhaust smoke can appear when the vehicle is burning too much fuel. This could be caused by a clogged air filter, malfunctioning fuel injection system, a blocked manifold, or a variety of other issues.
The remedy is simple: replace the filter.

If the problem persists, it’s an indication that your vehicle’s air-to-fuel ratio is askew – specifically, it is burning too rich or more fuel than air. Two of the most common reasons for this are a malfunctioning fuel pressure regulator or leaky or clogged fuel injectors.

Why does a car produces persistent thick milk / gray smoke

A steady stream of thick white/gray exhaust smoke coming from your tailpipe could mean there’s a leaking head gasket. “In this case,” automotive writer Paul Brand explains, “the coolant would end up being heated in the combustion chambers and blown out the exhaust as the engine starts.” A coolant leak in the summer could easily lead to an overheated engine, and an overheated engine could leave you stranded on the side of the road.

If your exhaust is sending up smoke signals, play it safe and visit the professionals.

Don’t ignore a smoking car, as the problem could become far worse. Even a small leak in the coolant can lead to overheating and serious risk of damage to the engine. A coolant leak can also mix with oil and cause serious headaches for you and your car.

An STP’s Smoke Treatment or STOP No Smoke/No Leak can also help in fixing smoke issues If you are unsure of what is best for your car, just ask the sales associates for a “smoke fix oil additive”, remove the oil cap off the top of your motor, and pour in the smoke fix treatment. Check the manual for instructions.

What is with you guys and plagiarism?

HeavenlyBang:
I'll get back to you.

Boss
Still waiting on those contact details
Would be very much appreciated.

HeavenlyBang:
I think so. I can get his contacts if you're interested.

Brother man, how are things?
Please drop the contact details, I may be around that way soon, thanks.

HeavenlyBang:
Aww, fucc. I'm so jealous. One of my biggest regrets is not buying an S.

I fish tailed a couple of times, I don't know if i would be comfortable daily driving a car with all that power going to just the rear wheels.

I would prefer a G35XS, but those seem to be very rare.

HeavenlyBang:
Sweet!

Also saw this G35S from Singapore. Fully optioned to the hilt, Borla exhaust, steering paddles, I test drove it and let me tell you, I felt I was flying without wings!

HeavenlyBang:
Thankfully, those trannies aren't too expensive. Under 100k IIRC, but since the 20k no even dey rn, how e wan take be.

Saw this LHD Skyline earlier today.

Like I stated on your thread, you stole the content from somewhere else and then somebody else did the same to you, so why are you complaining?

Karma is real, so just accept it and move on.

Next time come up with original content so people would take you seriously.

legalwealth:
[color=#0000FF]In an ideal situation however, it would be best to buy a Nigerian-used car/vehicle from a friend,
or someone you pretty know especially about how he/she treats or handles the said car/vehicle.
It is also preferable one buys from someone who is not a daily driver but has the said car/vehicle
as an one just taking up space in the garage.

Unfortunately, we we don't live in an ideal world, and such circumstances are quite rare. After driving
an old cars for years though, those are the only conditions I'll ever consider buying a Nigerian-used
car/vehicle.

In addition what I've said up there, I will like to highlight these two hints;

1. I'll rather see the car/vehicle being sold "as is", rather than "pimped up" so they can sell it for a
higher price, and conceal defects/wears.

2. If the owner is a female or it is labelled "lady driven", I'll advise you outrightly subtract 30% from
its foreign-used market value. I'm not being s*xist, but in my experience, many lady drivers have poor
maintenance routines. And a lot of lady drivers can be just be so reckless and careless against the
believe of many people that females know how to maintain cars/vehicles.

That is all I have for now; feel feel to add your own tips.

4 plugs

To add to what the two people above me posted, bear in mind that "4 plugs" is not necessarily equivalent to "4 cylinders"

Some car manufacturers use more than 1 plug per cylinder, so to be correct just use "cylinders" rather than plugs, ie 4 Cylinders, 6 Cylinders, 8 Cylinders

promotervickky:
Let's stop this poor man mentality! Will you die with V4 because you want to save money you will later spend? Remember we have v8 and people are buying it, they don't have 2 heads

what is a V4?

legalwealth:
Just as we all know that the coronavirus epidemic is getting virtually everyone locked down at home, our cars/vehicles are also not exempted since we won't be using them.

To avoid stories that would touch the heart whenever the lockdown is over and we want to make use of our cars/vehicles, it is necessary we carry out some things on them and some of them are listed
below;

1. Endeavour to always start the engine of your car/vehicle and let it run for few minutes say every 3 days to avoid problem with getting it to start later on.

2. Endeavour to always move your car/vehicle at least slightly forward and backward if you are unable to move it for short distance to avoid flat spots on its tyres.

3. Park your car/vehicle in a garage, under a car spot or better still, make sure of cover.

4. Try not to engage the handbrake of your car/vehicle.

5. Park your car/vehicle in a safe place and if you are the type that have no option than leaving on
your street, please make use of pedal and other security means to prevent your car/vehicle from being stolen or burgled.

That is all for now; feel free to add yours.

NaijadrivaCars:
Toyotas are highly overrated vehicles in some aspects such as Air-conditioning (except those Arab Specs).

For those of us in the North, how you know how effective your car A/C is is when you get to Lokoja (Lokoja is unusually hotter, even where there is presence of River Niger which is supposed to give a cooling effect). You will agree with me that the A/C of some car brands doesn't chill as much during the afternoons but there are car brands with superior (if you like) A/Cs

Here are car brands with chilling A/C:

1. Mercedes Benz: Whether it is AMG or Klassen tunned, the A/C of Mercedes cars are good. Just turn the A/C button on "low" and feel the coolness.

2. Peugeot: No need to say. Even Peugeot compressors are used in few Mercedes models prone to bad compressors, like the 2000-2004 models of Mercedes Benz C class.

3. Mazda: Their air-conditioning is "cooleee"

4. BMW:

Add yours.
