oh one of those

i prefer these (its me)

I think I've seen this (or one the same colour) on Coro Drive. There was too much traffic for me to get up beside it and I wasn't going to use the turning lane as an overtaking lane. <_<

If it's the same one I see it regularly, usually around Toowong.

Been poking around, the galardo, I drove it awhile back and it was impresive, it was so stiff in the body, that it made my skyline feels like a soft licorice in the sun. Nice car, but hideous depreciation.

As for the record, I don't own a coffee shop, and the owner of that coffee shop is like 40 something on the list from a vague memory.

Above all else, I think, cars like the F430 exist to promote hard working ppls to succeed, and I'm no different to most of the ppls here, as a matter of fact, quite a few of you have met me on cruises, even raced me in my skyline, lol. So just work harder and believe in yourself.

Also dangerous daveo, no I'm not married, and no I'm not gay, some may say otherwise.

Are you willing to convert i am..............on a serious note how about placing a order for the 575m replacment that will be a stunning car guaranteed and you can get to the head of the list.

Hmmm ...orange lambo...can't be many of those in brisbane. I got to sprint with one on the gateway north of the airport . Unfortunately we had a little too much traffic and it pulled off at the bondall exit. (This was some months ago)

Same lambo? Recall a silver R32 GTR?

There is actually 3 of the orange ones getting around quite regularly...I see SCARY the most, definately drives it like it should be as well, but I'm sure hitting the rev limit through Brisbane CBD is *that* smart in one of those.

The Ferrari is a great pick...but your blue RS6 (if you still have it) is still an awesome car...was behind a current model silver one yesterday, he seemed to take pleasure in owning me without trying ;)

I went for another drive of the baby lambo, seem good I guess for the money, but I think there is a mild face lift one just around the corner.

Also I'm not into old cars unless it a Mac F1 or an early 60s Merc.

Yes Dan I still got the Blue RS6. I need a 4 door get around, and you should have given the finger to the driver of that silver RS6. Haha. It either my brother or an very close friend ie. extend family member. There is only 2 silver RS6 in Bris.

As for the F430 , I ordered it with F1 transmission, and black/carbon fibre interior.

I'm still so upset over the delay, I got thing to happen before it get here this year, hhhhhmmm.

I ordered it with F1 transmission.

May I ask why you opted for that set up, and not a "real" box? Each to there own ect ect I know that, I've just always wondered why people go that option when they always receive bad reviews in Europe.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
