what are you doin hanging around the airport?? planning a heist?? lol...if so i want in...lol :):)

Hehe, heist? Me? :)

I drive an airport shuttle :)

Hmmm. Gotta say i'm not impressed with such a pissy attempt from the USA. They never even had time to prepare power figures for the release date!

The release of the R35 GT-R really got everyone in a pickle. GT-R ftw!

That grey R8 is one of mine too!

BTW - Shaun & Sunshine - speak to Brad about the 360 CS. You NEED to go in this.

Done ;)

Btw the GT3 is on my shopping list for 2008 now :D

If you want to see supercars go to Sydney Airport.

The best are in Terminal 3 (Qantas) valet parking.

Porsche 911's, GT2s & GT3s, BMW M5's & M6's, Aston Martins DB9's & Vantages, Ferrari 599's, Audi RS4s.

And i've seen an R33 GT-R V-Spec too boys :happy:

Business execs going interstate for day trips/meetings etc

spotted someone flogging an F430 along Victoria Rd in Drummoyne just now

they sound shithouse

the flat-plane crank design of the V8 just makes noise, but no sweet tune :( oh well- at least they go

Spotted a whole bunch of Aston Martins, Porsches and various other luxo-mobiles just then, as I went with my old man to Trivett to pick up a car. All of Trivett's service centres are grouped together in Parra/Rosehill. Didn't see Samuel (WTF33R)'s car tho...

Also saw an AMG SLK about 10 minutes later - not sure if it was an SLK55 or 63 or what, but it sounded HOT!!!

I was on holidays at the time in qld for the Indy, either that or i drove the corolla to work.

me rikey very mus

(note pccb brake set-up)

i hope its there so they can strip it and spray it orange
prolly there to get the wheels colour-coded :(

Thats the GT3 RS in the wedding car line up i posted in October. PCCB is standard on the RS! The owner of the business where that pic was taken owns that and the 2 356's in the background as well. Good friend of mine (hence why i got to drive teh cayenne) . We do the mechanical work for his shop.

i see you've read the drive review as well. Supposidly crappier than a Toyota Tarago in everyway.

No i believe you are talking about the V6 Cayenne. The 283kw V8 and 368kW Twin Turbo V8 is a different kettle of fish!

But Its still a true Porsche. Turns more heads than his old 996 GT3 RS or even the 356 Speedster.

Ive said it once and i'll say it again, I'll always stand by the safety of a Cayenne. Anything Else and id be dead. (see Pic Below)

I was sitting in the front passenger seat and walked away with only a cut to the hand from the glass.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
