was driving along stud rd about 3pm the other day, driving along, went over ferntree gully road and kept crusing.. about 50 metres up the road, near a little pesdestrian bridge, i seen some kids moving around.. looked as if they were fighting.. i got closer, but to my amazement, it was something completey different...

these kids were about 12 years old, and shuffling!! they were normal kids, one black, the other two white, in normal clothes.. shuffling! shit you not, they were dancing with each other, getting close and jiggy with it.. i laughed so damn hard.. they were trying to do the running man :) hahahahaha :laugh:

Mclaren F1.... Dammmmm

1) Glad he enjoys it and makes use of it

and

2) What drugs do I need to sell / grow / make to be able to afford a garage like that :P

lol, thats an odd supercar spotting.....

haha.. excatly what I was thinking! :whistling:

Anyway, back on topic... I stole this from another forum, but I though I'd share it with you guys cos its like... interesting and stuff. It's about that McLaren F1 that was mentioned before:

This car is believed to be chassis #009, and is reportedly owned by Tony Raftis (who is/was the owner of Prancing Horse Racing i've heard). Its former owner was believed to be Dean Wills, former CEO of Coca Cola Amatil. Yes, #009 was the F1 was that crashed by a BMW Service tech in Sydney. The car was sent to Stowe Smash Repair before being flown back to Woking in the UK. It was repaired and returned to Dean, and is now probably owned by Tony Raftis. And it certainly is street registerable...

There are rumors that there is a White F1 in Australia, but it's never been seen or photographed or had its ownership determined. There were only 2 White factory F1's built and 1 has been spotted in Japan. The other remains unknown.

The actual numbers built were 7 Prototypes, 64 road cars, 28 GTR's (some of which have now been road registered), 5 LM's, 2 GT's and 1 spare car owned by McLaren Cars. A total of 107. There's probably less than 100 still in existence after the official crash test, and "unplanned" crash tests.

Here's some more pics as well:

I saw this guy at the carwash on thursday, is it a red Bently Arnarge that he owns? The carwash guys informed me that he owns a mclaren F1.

Im told by people that there is only the 1 in aus, and by others that there is 2 or 3...

there was 2 or 3 F1s in aus, but i have no idea about now. My friends father was one of the guys who serviced them in sydney back in the mid 90s. I once got a little ride around the block in one, but I wish I had been nicer to the guy as his father took him and 1 friend on a big drive to deliver it somewhere. sadly I wasn't that 1 friend...

Spotted a Mercedes CLS63 AMG parked in brisbane tonight. For a $255,000 car, it looks positively pedestrian. Sure you get 378kw, and 0-100 in 4.5 sec, but it comes with undersized and average looking 18inch wheels!

I'd rather spend that kind of money on a V8 Vantage if I was after a luxury GT!

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
