f430 on lygon st yest (surprise surprise)

355 spider at docklands yest

360 modena at century city today

damn punks and their flashy red cars - not as flashy as my yellow 1.3 ltr jazz though :laugh:

Haha I reckon Lygon St after the Grand Prix each year is the best place to go. I never knew so many Ferraris even existed in Melbourne. It's great, eating pizza and ogling Fezzas, walking down Lygon eating Il Dolce Freddo ice-cream (mmmm) and ogling more Fezzas.

Maybach at Beverly Wilshire hotel in LA yesterday, also a rather nice white Merc on the other side of it. :blush:

Edit - pic doesnt want to upload for some reason..

Anyone seen a Maybach in Oz? Are there any even here?

Nah - that's a 57.

And yeah, hideous.

If you're dropping over $800k on a land-yacht, why in hell would you look past a Phantom?

Especially since when you roll up at the bowls club in a Maybach, people just think your Merc has been badged.

Ah - the Evade!

Snowy and I had a good chat with the guy at the motorshow. How did it run? Back in March he'd never actually driven it in anger (which seems silly for a development car). I hope he has it a bit more sorted now.

Evade it is.

He wasn't driving it too hard. He didn't seem full of confidence, as it was his first time out and it's probably like riding an explosion.

Ran it all day without any issues. I guess if you crash it, it's not like you can buy another one on the Monday.

I asked him what a replacement would roughly cost. He reckons it's about $80k worth.

James, you should challenge him to a battle with your Atom!! Just grab the keys. No one would even know. :D

... For the record, his wife also has one. Somebody wanted just a shell built for an expo, but he said he'd end up with an un-driveable shell, so someone else threw him some running gear. it's not as angry as the one in the pics tho.

    • 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?
