Military road in Mosman. Carbon-fibre side-blade looked awesome in real life.

Just now coming across the harbour bridge. Couldn't believe it- An F430 Spider and a 599GTB (in red circle, couldn't get a good shot). Sorry about crappy night photos.

Oh, also spotted the same Gemballa-spec'd Porsche Cayenne twice on Thursday arvo - once parked in Seven Hills, and then about three hours later on in Liverpool on the Hume Highway heading towards Casula.

More then you can afford pal!

I saw the same Ferrari twice today... once in Hornsby at like 10 when I was in the line, then the same on in Pymble at like 1pm when i was in a dif car...

what are the odds of that!

Pretty rare, just like this - two completely different areas!

I spotted a darkish-grey Audi R8 on my way into Parra this arvo. The LEDs it uses for the DRLs are damned bright, even in broad daylight!

I tell you what, the thing pulls looks from left, right and centre. As I drove through the main strip of Church Street with it driving directly behind me, about 80% of the people around turned to look and stare at it.

Hot looking car, but I think the grey took some of the appeal away for me. It might have been dirty, but the colour looked dull for such a nice looking car.

I think I spotted the same grey LP640 as pictured above in Chatswood on Saturday night.. Picked up a guy out the front of Hoyts and gave it a belt through the tunnel. Sounded sublime!

isn't Hoyts on the 4th or 5th level? lol

Outside the stupidly steep escalator that goes straight from the road up to Hoyts level, under the tunnel thing underneath westfield... The escalator has got a Hoyts sign above it.

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
