...and I don't care if it's against the rules - it's my garage! :D

I love my performance cars, but I surf and love camping too so my choices would be slightly different to the above i suppose.

Everyday

Bombed out rb26 stagea for daily and trips

Some sort of 4wd. a toyota surf or bombed out explorer

Cut sick:

r33 gtr vspec worked as n1 everything

an M3 with a lot of work

Mclaren F1

Ohhhhhhhhhh i just came

1. Dift spec Laurel 450ps

2. Drag spec DR30 or 1600 running FJ20 700ps

3. Track spec R32 GTR at reliable 600ps +

4. Nicely tuned JZX100 Chaser for daily

5. Hilux Surf Jacked, with supercharged 1UFZE

Screw europe's finest...

Motorsport Car: Porsche 996 Turbo

Street Sports: Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX

Daily Driver: Volkswagen Golf 2.0L TDi DSG

Luxo Barge: Audi RS6

Convertible: Pagani Zonda S Convertible

All of them would be modified to some extent.

The Porsche would be a stripped out car that I'd set up for Targa and track work. Hopefully I could get license plates to drive it to the venue, but if I can't then the Audi can tow it.

The Evo would keep a full interior and "street legal", for club cruises / runs or motorsport events where I don't want to break out the Porsche.

The Golf would be optioned out, and would have your usual bolt ons (cat back, pod filter, swaybars, lowering springs, rims). Comfort and ease of driving is what I want from this, as well as an ability to park it most places without worrying if it will still be there when I get back.

The RS6 would only have minor performace mods, to free up the engine while keeping it linear and easy to drive. But it would get pimped out. Nice bodykit, deep dish wheels, mad stereo, etc.

For those days when I want to show off and do some top-down motoring, I'll take the Zonda out. You can keep your Ferraris and Lambos.

My top five

1. 1969 Baldwin Motion phase III corvette

2. 2006 Hennessey 1000 Twin Turbo SRT Coupe

3. 1967 Camaro z28

4. Ferrari F40

5. Mclaren F1

Best list so far. The vette is the winner tho.

Anyway mine. Why stuff about :D

Porka GT for a 959, depends what I could get my hands on

Brabus Rocket (cls with a brubus tuned 6.3L twin turbo v12 0-300kmh in 29.5secs, amg thought a s/cv8 would be enough...) **this one is the daily :Dhttp://www.brabus.de/news/news49e.htm

Brabus G wagon v12 bi turbo... (everyone needs a 4b for fun in the mud!)

Aston DB9 (would have to be one of the most beautiful cars ever made)

And finally a 1966 Dodge Charger much like the one pictured here, just Id modernise the handeling aspect a bit http://moparmusclemagazine.com/featuredvehicles/38607/

And if Im not allowed two brabuses, then I'll go the AMG G wagon.

Five... hmm what to get...

1. 1958 Ferrari 250GT Berlinetta 'Tour de France' (classic car)

2. Aston Martin DB9 (daily driver)

3. Bugatti Veyron 16.4 (well... everyone needs a stallion in the stable)

4. Maybach 62 (family sedan)

5. Porsche Cayenne S (gotta have something with enough room to bring back stuff from Bunnings right?)

This would put the total cost of the contents of my garage around the 3.5 million dollar mark... but hey, dreams are for free right?

Lets compare this to the current contents of my garage:

1. R32 Skyline GTS4 (daily driver)

2. AE86 Corolla Sprinter (thrash car)

3. A31 Cefiro (family sedan)

lol

Just to add more interest to it...

here's the car park at work where the bosses park:

* 2004 MASERATI COUPE

* 2005 AMG E55

* 2004(?) FORD GTP

* 2005 BMW 3 SERIES

and a few others.

there's a good garage right there (since it's only 4 well act like my car is still here and add R32 GTR to the list)

also do the cars have to be road registrable? Otherwise I'll happily swap cayenne for an 2005 Ferrari F1 car :)

There's nothing there saying they can't be :) But that's not a bad point, I just thought for a second too an F1 car might go alright, but then again, no I wouldnt take one. too insanely fast, I think the little Arial Atom will be my F1 Alternative.

Out of my cars I'd have the Atom & Viper for Track (although would just have too take them on road a couple times to show off :))

Z-Tune, Veyron, & Accord for road.

Ive chosen 6 vehicles because im a spooner and if i can afford five why not go 6 or 7!

1: Mclarin F1 GTR

2: Hummer with 40 inch lift kit (for offroad fun)

3: Porchse Carrera GT

4: Datsun 120y (biggest rust bucket i can find - just so i can see the look on peoples faces when it flies past their shitty porchse boxters)

5: Ducatti 999RR -- fully customised wtih turbo (hopefully i wouldnt kill myself)

6: Buggati Veyron (if it was real!)

7: One of those boat cars: (well im thinking with the lineup of vehicles so far i amgoing to lose my licence again so why not float to work on a boat!)

8: some Ex formula 1 aces Red Ferrari Dino -- for the classic touring

And why we are at it Why not buy the starship enterprise! -- its about the same likelyness of happening as any of the above.

1931 Bugatti Type 41 Royale

1962 Ferrari 250 GTO

1986 Peugeot 205 T16 Group B Rally Spec Evo 2

2004 Aston Martin DB9 (manual)

2007 Nissan GTR

Edited by writeoff

5 Cars + Unlimited $$$ = Head Explosion :P .

1. 1960's Aston Martin DB5

The name's Bond. James Bond. The ultimate gentleman spy's sportscar. Option up the missles, oil slick and ejector seat and you too can be working for Mi6.

2. 1935 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic

This has to be one of the most elegant cars ever built. Only 3 were made, and only 2 remain today. Absolutely Priceless.

3. 1954 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing

Started the whole supercar phenomenon. Gullwing doors, mind blowing performance and zero practicality.

4. 1930's Duesenberg Model J

The best American vehicle ever made. Perhaps the best vehicle ever made. It cost US$25,000 during the Depression of the 1920's. They didn't sell very many.

5. 2006 Unique Performance Supercharged Super Snake

I'm not an American muscle car fan, but this 750hp beast is something special. Only 75 will be made, and it get an official carol shelby build plate (like the original Shelby GT500s). Complete with GO BABY GO nos switch on the gearshift :lol: .

I figured post 1990 supercars (Enzo, McLaren, Veyron etc), as well as anything with an RB engine under the bonnet were too obvious, so I tried to choose something a bit different for my collection :)

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
