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:

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
