I HEARD a F430 in Sydney this morning coming towards me while waiting for my car to come pick me at the hotel..

Then as coming to the lights near me it was down shifting one of the best noises in the world.

Followed by a slaughtering of a take off.. That thing is PORN!!!

It had trader plates so the person driving must have been loving it considering it wasn't his car :D

Very dark grey Lambo followed me along Alexandra Parade, he gave it a squirt as he went past then turned into the dealership on Chapel St. Had trade plates on, looked like the new dark grey one I have seen pics of floating around in Europe but could be wrong. :)

Aston Martin DB9 and some other strange looking Aston Martin with a hideous chrome mesh grille and air dam (don't have the faintest what it was), both going down the South Gippsland Fwy and the Mooruduc at separate times today.

at a very rich friends 21st the other week.. his dad had just 4 of his ~40 cars on show in the garage (complete with hoist!)

*AC Cobra x 2

*Aston Martin DB5 [only one in Aus, recently stolen then recovered, i think it was reported in the news?]

*Bugatti Type 35

i estimated about $2.5mil from these cars alone... couldnt believe it!! pics to come

ps. the house is an enormous unit in caulfield, sorta along Dandenong road if anyone knows the area

*Aston Martin DB5 [only one in Aus, recently stolen then recovered, i think it was reported in the news?]

Stolen car was a DB4 GT, apparently recovered due to complete idiocy on part of the thieves rather than good police work.

ah, that's the one. as i said im mates with the owner's son and he had told me it was a db5.

still porn nonetheless..

Ah right, probably why I didn't recognise the badge. I don't think I've ever seen one before. Creamish coloured interior, old guy driving it (and driving it annoyingly well under the speed limit.) I liked the rear and side profile of it, front was a bit meh.

Bentley Continental

Twin Turbo W12 goodness (but slower than an F430 in roll on drag race...... apparently)

However, it is faster than an Aston Martin DB9 in a roll on drag race... apparently :dry:

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
