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:

spotted plenty of auto exotica whilst in Melbourne on the weekend

Grey 599GTb

Orange Gallardo

black Grandsport

All the M range of BMW's (the new M3 is horny :) )

I had a spare minute tpday and went for a walk looking for a workshop in Richmond and came across a little place called P1 anyone heard of it?? :thanks:

Some nice cars you have in there james

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

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?

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.

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.

Awww who's your daddy????

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.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
