Drove a V8 Vantage the other day, very nice car, not that fast tho :D

I guess that's the thing with having a 300+ awkw GT-R - everything else seems slow :P

Couldn't justify the $$$ for the DBS... If you want a Brittish sports car, you'd turn just as many heads with an Ariel Atom, a Morgan Aero 8, a Lotus Exige S, etc. for many less dollars. In fact, you could have all three for many less dollars!!!

Having said that the DBS is pretty sexy...

one drives past me ona regular baisis when i leave work got some special plate on it... car looks hot though

A DBS drives past you? Or a DB7/DB9/Vantage/Vanquish? Coz I didn't think they'd started Australian deliveries of the DBS yet...

These cars are all my style.

DB9R - The daily

CCR - Event car, very sleek and sexy

Zonda - Event car, when you want to stand out

FXX - Track/Road terror

Seven - Track

But if I had to choose only one of them, FXX would be it 100%. I am willing to sacrifice comfort and roll down windows for pure performance.

yes the aston interiors....i rekon the best interiors known to man...look at that clock for example...its like something TAG would make...the attention to detail is amazing...it might not be quick pound for pound but its still a hot car, and also has anyone heard the sound the Aston v8 makes? unbelivable....

mclaren f1 > all.

sub 100k

well...

400r with a few choice light mods would keep me happy and loyal for the rest of my life....

come on.... those things are the shiet.....

>100k and <1m = dbr9 > many italians > 2 germans > 1 brit

>1m = english > dutch

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
