And finally I blew my front diff up on the 1st competative day over west and some boys put their hands up to help fix the car and when the garage was opened inside there was these 2 little toys. (Who knew there were so many R35's in Perth)

And super-cool spotting Snows. That's up there with the Ascari Ecosse (one of my QLD customers has one - 1 of only 9) as a ludicrously rare car to spot, not just in Aus but world-wide.

Big D - Pop in and visit Crazy Howard, he has a Mangusta in his shop and there are a few Longchamps around in Melbourne (I have seen 2x coupes and a spyder).

i know this isnt super... not even closely... but i was under the impression they werent released until the end of the year. I saw (about 3 months ago... didnt realise they werent released yet) one of those Cadillac CTS sedans in Endeavour Hills.

theyre actually quite nice.Also spotted this on ebay... thought it was quite a nice price http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Other-Makes...1QQcmdZViewItem

Geezus Audi are serious about attacking Porches market sector aren't they?

Good to see though. Saw my first on the GC yesterday with ISMINE plates. Very low and wide hipped. Makes it a very serious looking car.

So how was the drive Snowy? We had Mark and Russ show up at our recent Nissan Track day a couple of weeks back with the R35. I didn't see it run as I was in the same session that Russ took it on the paper clip and he pulled a 57s on the Sprint layout, with 4 wet corners a 1, 2, 4 and 5, and 1 inch of lying water between 3-4, on standard factory rubber. I think I'll have to hock the 40ft yacht off and get one. BTW this old cripple could only manage 1.01s in the same session.

Jeff we timed 2 laps - did a 1.50.0 and a 1.50.2. Apparently Christian Murchisan did a high 1.48 earlier in the week.

Not bad for a production car on street rubber (Pirelli P Zero). I sure as hell was impressed. Not to mention I did 40 laps in 2hrs and the car was still perfect at the end (brakes fine, water 90degs and oil 100degs)

FYI Christian did some hot laps in the RS4 which we timed at 1.55.2 - so the R8 is considerably quicker.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
