It's been a very busy world these last 3-months.

I pop in here most days, but there's not really that much going on relevant to me anymore, so I don't tend to post very often. Plus it's generally pretty boring :(

So...

Since March I've had the opportunity to tootle around in some amazing cars, whether beloning to P1, customers or just people who seem to think nothing of throwing me the keys and telling me to go for a spin. From this - I certainly have a few favourites... but would I buy any of them if I could?

And the answer is yes, yes I would.

So let's ask the question.

You have a 3-car garage. These are the only cars you would have - and so you would have to live with them every day.

What would they be?

* RULES - need to be available in Australia, so Veyrons are out. Need to be driven daily so LHD and race cars are out.

Here's a picture of a 3-car Garage to help you out:

BTW - for me...

1. Porsche 997 GT3

2. Audi RS4 Avant

3. P1 membership (I'm serious - I could never live with a Ferrari or Lambo, this would let me park something nice and special when I would be able to use it). Or a monster-truck Lada - it's a close call.

Yes, the GT3 - track spec (RS) is something ive dreamed about and heard/read a lot about over the years.

And a good porka looks HOT. And would be given a flogging being the track spec.

Second... that would be an Aston. For a daily :D

And 3rd, a Dodge Viper. Always loved them

I dunno if they are LHD when they get here, but ive seen them on the road before a number of times, so they must be legal if people are driving them with rego plates and stickers etc. That would be the weekender.

Well for me.........

1. New BMW M3 V8 version (even an E46 M3 CSL would be sweet)

2. R34 GT-R V-Spec Nur in Millenium Jade

3. Porsche GT3 RS in orange as the weekender

And if you include near future releases, well the new GT-R V6TT would have to slot in there somewhere :)

oh i like this thread!

1) Lotus exige S (the supercharged version)

2) r34 GTR Nur :)

if it was only 3 cars for fun/weekend those woudl be it....

Edit: no scratch that, id mix em up for work/weekend/fun usage! :)

yeah you can drive em lhd for some reason...but you can get places like sports & luxury cars to convert it to right hand drive

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
