W427.

It had a nice meaty resonating note to it, but I'm still trying to fathom how anyone could part with $150k of their hard-earned on a Commodore.

That's AMG C63 territory. Heck, I probably live on Weeties for 6 months and put the extra $ into a GTR.

W427.

i saw the Red one with W427 as plates at springvale junction once, after reading about it in Wheels mag during the day, to see if fly past was awesome :P and yeah they sound sweet

Saw three ferraris on wellington road, they were all 1min apart from each other. Driving away from Lysterfield. I wonder if they knew each other? Was random to spot three of them on the same stretch of road at same time haha

A red ferrari 430 scuderia, a red california and a red f430 i think.

Ferrari overload haha

had to laugh, was walking up to get some lunch yesterday and there was a Aston V8 Vantage sitting there with a young kid going nuts over it... he was lining it up to take a photo on his phone when a F430 drove past behind it... he didn't know where to look or what to take a photo of... made me chuckle, I hope he got them both in the same shot

the red f430 and the scuderia is owned by the same guy. see it often on wellington road. saw him washingt he f430 with a brush once :thumbsup: i almost cried. after he dried it though wasnt much swirl marks but it was painful to watch

I agree. But I guess for die-hard aussie V8 fans who won't consider anything else that's the pinnacle of their life's goals :P

Then again, people could say the same for parting almost 300k for a Nissan (spec V)

this had so much road presence.

such a pretty car in the flesh, and they sound fantastic!

What kind of TVR is that?

Went down to mornington with my girlfriend yesterday and like OMG there were soo many amazing cars

i was stood literally drooling over a Brabus AMG C63 and then the owner got in it, and let loose on the engine OMG OMG OMG OMG i almost blew in my pants then and there.

then about 10mins later a Ferrari 599GTB went screaming past, in what seemed to be 1st gear doing about 50 and deafening us all.

then while walking around spotted a Bentley W12 roadster and a SLK 63 AMG :D

i swear, people and their money.. i love how the brabus have the black Merc badges on them, and they look and sound TOUGH!

but without a doubt, the brabus made my day, i have only ever seen 2 in Australia that was my 2nd one!

wish i took some pics, but only had my iphone and yeah.. my girlfriend was kinda getting pissed that i was more interested in the cars lol!

Yeah, Mornington Peninsula locales like Sorrento/Portsea are where all the holiday homes of the rich & famous are. I was overdosing on European super-exotica down there last Xmas. When I came back to Melb and saw a Ferrari 360, I was like "meh".

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
