Fliders Street tram stop on Swanston Street near Fed Square at arround 7:45am today.

Saw a Ford V8 Supercar on a tow truck and the Toyota F1 car on the tow truck right in front of it, heading towards Albert Park I guess. I was too slow to take a photo, its 2 early in the morning :down::P

Was the F1 car towed out in the open? How odd...

May have been an 08 car doing some promo work...caught a quick glimpse of the BMW or Williams (didn't get a good look at it on TV) that did the King lake demo, and it looked like an 08 spec car...

Was the F1 car towed out in the open? How odd...

yeah, thats how they transport them i guess. i saw the McLaren F1 car last year on Hoddle street, it was also sitting on a tow truck. I had a great view of the car as I pulled up next to it and took a couple of snaps on my phone. :P

I guess it may also be a way to advertise and attract people to F1 by making more people take notice that the F1 is in town.

saw something really rare today just outside work near our loading dock. it was called a redback syder the guy said there is only 2 in the world at the moment and there aussie built. couldnt get a photo but i went to there website and got a pic. he had to get it towed because it broke a ball joint or something like that.

hear is a link to there site: http://www.carbontech.com.au/photos.htm

Nice spot! Saw the Redback Spyder on Beyond Tomorrow before. Wonder if anyone actually bought one. I think the owner owns the two in existence?

Props to the builder, but to be honest 350k is a bit steep for an LS1 in a carbon chassis. I think the Joss Supercar looks so much better and is faster, for around the same money. It's also built by an aussie in his "garage". Some of you may remember it from previous motor shows.

Great job spotting the Redback though. The only super-spot that can top that I guess is of one-of-a-kind car. eg., if the sole Maybach Excelero ever comes here . Not sure what other one-of-a-kind road cars there are :blush:

Spotted one of these on my way to work...

Tell you what its not a STOCK BMW lets say that...

sorry for poor pic...

Not 100% on spelling but it was an AC Schwizer.... VERY VERY nice and sounded awesome!!!

it's not a AC Schnitzer car, his just got the bar on it, it's not a M6 so it's either a 640, 645 or 650, it's a individual color from BMW, did he still have the black wheels on it?

well had me fooled...

It had full rebadged AC Schnitzer on the boot, and also side skirts along with the bonnet badge..

The wheels were labeled BMW which were chrome / Yellow spoke...

It also sounded tough as!!

Not sure what the real deal should look like

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
