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

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
