Super-spotted Thread

Spotted an Aston Martin GTS DB7, plates I think "GTS.555", down Princes Hwy, traveling next to me all the way from Huntingdale to Burke Rds. Had the wedding stripes on the front, this thing sounded mental too, pretty sure it had a woman driving. Sometime near 1pm.

Then, at around 2pm, a gray Lamborghini Murcielago on Toorak Road near Grange Rd, signature plates "LM", this was by far one of the hottest cars I've ever seen, the exhaust looked like you could fit bodies inside it! The guy driving it was loving the attention.

And another 500m down the road crossing over Orrong Rd, a beautiful red Ferrari 599 GTB, vintage plates "359", heading towards the city. Had a nice blond chick in the passenger's seat from what I could quickly see.

I'm yet to decide which car turned me on the most, LOL :thanks:

White R8 on Friday at about 5.30pm just off Swan St, Richmond. NSW registered with letters XQ followed by some numbers. Was either lost or taking someone for a test drive I suspect. :)

Really liking the R8 but will the R12 top it :thanks:

Tsk tsk - you need some better roads in Sydney.

Oh, and your car is an automatic Toyota that sounds like a sewing machine.

You know what they say, if it looks like and duck and quacks like a duck...

:(

Pffft. There's a real car in the garage - you'll see it soon enough

Here's a cutie I saw outside Wesley on Sat arvo. Windows were down and it was raining. Not a good combination for Italian leather.

Also saw a nice blue Maserati outside Sienna, a red fully recoed 67 Mustang and a blue Shelby Cobra (most likely replica) both doing laps on Chapel yesterday. Not a single Fezza in sight though.

Spotted this truck loaded with about 25 crushed new commodores, almost all were VE's. Anyone know why these things would be crushed when there seemed to be good parts (lights, wheels, panels) on them still?

They were probably test vehicles mate. I'm pretty sure if they're test vehicles, they have to scrap the whole thing, hence why they're not stripped.

Nice spot Dave.

Maybe I'd take one of them over a nice Maser.

1. not registered, but we all know you can do anything with a trade plate

2. i'm told even LF thinks the yellow roof was a bad idea

3. why join my club when you own better cars than me and have your own private racetrack(s). LF FTW.

    • A million years later, searching for something else I posted, I was reminded of this thread. I eventually bought a new gauge. Put it in using the same probe (which has been installed the whole time stopping the exhaust gas from coming out the hole) and.... normal service has been resumed. The old gauge was definitely broken. /semi-pointless closure.
    • They're available from Nissan! I was able to buy a GTR (R33) one.. relatively* recently. Perhaps this stopped now but I bought mine ... relatively recently. I believe the 300ZX one has a different knee-point which is more rear biased, which I think the HFM one echos.
    • Hey Team, A bit to unload here. Hello from New Zealand I have a 2009 Nissan Skyline 370GT ( Type SP ) Auto 7 Speed, that I've had since 2022 and have loved the car since. Its painted in its factory QAB ( White Pearl ) with the Impul front lip and rare boot lid/spoiler with woodgrain interior. Mods since I've bought it and installed: Stillen Gen 3 Long Tube Intakes Motordyne Shockwave Catback Exhaust JDM Skyline Taillights Fake carbon spoiler and front grill ( Will be taking off.... its cringe ) VR30DETT Transmission from the Q50/Q60 to hold up to 550 Foot pounds of Torque ( 753 nm ) reliable  Currently I plan to turbo the car and have all the parts needed ( Photo Included ), I have my tuning day set on August 8th and choosing EcuTek as my tuning platform. Two of my work colleagues has their 370Z ( Manuel ) and 370GT coupe ( Type SP - Manuel ) also turbo'd and they have inspired me to get it done I have prepped quite a wee bit for this, as I had done the VR30 transmission swap over to this car so that I can achieve my HP goals without torque being an issue. I've taken quite a cautions route, as im always thinking about the safety as well as performance with my build, I'd rather do it properly and not cut corners etc etc. Any who, I've recently picked up the AutoStrada cruise control kit with all the included cables/wires/instructions. I've been hella researching around and can't find much on the integration that it has with the ECU and/or system. the only reason why im asking is, because I'm getting EcuTek and one of them RaceRom features allows the ability to switch maps via the cruise control function, which I am currently in the grey area if this would add-on via the Canbus will allow me to switch maps or have the option to use Cruise Control to begin with ( showing up on the instrument cluster to advise Cruise Control being set etc etc )  Because of my model being Type SP, Cruise Control on these models was never an option from factory unfortunately.  Anyone here that is able to shed some light on if the Cruise Control via AutoStrada gives OEM ability over the cruise control. Would love and appreciate any response and/or assistance with this, also happy to answer any question about my build and ill try pitch in where I can. Warm Regards,  
    • I thought the only (new) BM57 that was readily available was the one that was a BM57 but with the wrong bias. HFM or someone's?
