Yeah - and they're all "slower" than the Datsun 120Y my mate who worked at McDonalds put together in 1993.

I've been in all of them at speed, and I know which I prefer.

Strange, seems that every single comparison I've read has said otherwise, but to each their own!

Re: Aston DBRS9 - it belongs to Johnny K. His other toys include the R34 Nismo Z-Tune GT-R.

And look - it's a Peteborghini!

Who's Johnny K?!?! Goddamn one lucky bastard. He owns the only Z-Tune in Australia, right? There's a youtube video of that car on the Eastern fwy.

Close call, but i'd still take the Z-tune over the Aston if I could choose one. I'd like to pull more G's than chicks any day :)

I remember reading in a Unique Cars magazine that he also owned a GT2 at one point; he said the Z tune was faster over a longer distance in a straight line if I remember correctly.

...er, there must have been two R8's last night, I drove on Burwood Hwy to go out for dinner, then drove back about 2 hours later, does this make me a wanker ??? I did go Chapel cruising I think that does makes me a wanker :)

All Audi R8s are nice, dude.

And maybe he was test driving it? :)

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
