Does the bentley have just numbers on the plates? Or it's personalised..i can't remember.

But last time i saw it, a guy was driving?

think there just a few numbers....

hows this for love of gtr's.....after spotting a red f430 scudera and a black lambo gallardo (and barely raising an eyebrow) in the cross last night...my mate then ran 200 meters to get a closer look at a white 35 gtr...repect..

I thought the f40s couldn't be rego'd in aus for some reason, any comments? I've only ever seen 1 and that was at the f1gp in melbourne (no plates)

anything can get registered in Oz aslong as it complies with the rules...

Saw a white R35 with black rims last night on Kent Street, Sydney. It was rolling up to the lights and I went bezerk "OH MY GOD!!!!!!"

He stopped at the lights, heard me screaming....light turned green, and he hammered it down. Sounded like he has an aftermarket exhaust setup.

I creamed my pants. Literally.

The Mrs wasn't happy.

You cannot register an F40 on any Australian Roads. Take a quick read below. Quote from 360c from Aussie Exotics, who owns a F50.

They can't be used on Australian roads LEGALLY on permits, trade plates or anything else- end of story no matter what anybody tells you.

It's one of those "it isn't a problem until it's a problem and then it's a MAJOR PROBLEM" situations. The only time I have legally used my F50 on the road was a special use permit for the Ferrari 60th Birthday parade. Even then it had to go to the head of the department at Vicroads for sign off and I had a defined route, start time and end time for the permit. All other permits are specifically for the purpose of getting the car registered and as there is no way to get it registered, doing that has no legal standing.

Every time you see one of these cars on the roads it isn't there legally. The driver had better hope that he doesn't have an accident, especially if someone is injured.

It is illegal to drive them on trade plates too. Just because you see them on trade plates doesn't mean it's legal.

lol well that doesn't comply wih the rules....

so the day i saw 2 crusing nearly together a couple months back were illegal, damn there nice rebelious cars those ones lol

  • 2 weeks later...

Maybe it wasn't an F140 then and maybe he was lieing... I dunno

It had 2 rounds tail lights in total, looked new, and pretty shit... looked kinda gay like the new Ferrari California or whatever...

kinda like this I think?

and it sounded crap... my celica had more grunt.

ya its not an f150, its a 599, they do look gay, there the soft breed of ferrari, was it silver because i saw one with my bro at about lunch time on the m4 burwood, he gunned it and i gunned it in the 3200 and he didnt pull away.

Was it silver? this one was silver.... they look too plain.

by the way i picked up a black 360 today, i dont get it till next friday though :) its getting serviced and new belts, i'll post some pics in a few mins

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
