nice one ash. I'm waiting for James to give me the keys to the p1 GT so i can take some schnaps of it.

Thanks! Met James a couple weeks ago before our trip - he brought the Gallardo Spyder along (at my prompting! :O )... YUM! Didn't get any decent shots of it, wish we coulda taken it to Tassie with us. :rofl:

As for the GT... It's sumptuous luxury and absolutely stunning to look at - but it's really not an exciting car, would be fantastic on the outback roads at 250+ or tootling around in traffic, but on sporty B-roads, forget it! I spent about 45mins to an hour in it on the twisty stuff and couldn't wait to get back into the Elise or F430.

Mates dad just bought a MkI 996 GT3 in Orange - only one in the country. It is unbelievable, I'm in love with them even more now. The sound, oh my, the sound...

That the one with NSW Rego? 996GT3 or something?

If so, *fap fap fap*

It's an acquired taste mate, but most won't try it because they don't want to be in the sub zero section of the cool wall.

Teak decking? That reminds me the big boat show is on at Sanctuary Cove. Most go for a look and get ideas for the 40 footer.

Teak deck on a car?? wtf

my dad specialises in teak decking on boats and what not...is that the boat show that was on last week?? he was up there for that too

360 challenge stradale parked in a power pole...

His daddy won't be too pleased

I think the 360CS is currently sitting at a panel shop in the northern suburbs (I don't know if I should name the panel shop, you never know who reads these threads and what they'd do). I see a red 360 with HEAVY front end damage and what appears to be white racing stripes down the middle every morning when I go to uni.

Not 100% sure if its the same car, but it can't be a coincidence can it?

Sounds like Carpenters.

There are always Ferrari's and Maserati's at that place.

Yeah that was the one. And the Rolls drophead ban be done with a timber rear deck of some type. The boat show as all about floating penises. Very few liveaboards, it was all flashy open plan style for impressing the corporate whores. Some good stuff on sale. A supplier in Archerfield has a finish you can brush on and not know the diff between that and sprayed 2 Pack except it was much smoother.......

Spotted this if you need another James.... http://www.graysonline.com.au/sale.asp?SALE_ID=116464

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
