The GT3? Nah was red. The R8 was white, and the Diablo was a champagne gold type colour...

Chris, how many is "a few"? Surely there cant be a heap of them in Oz?!?!

Melbourne seems to have bucketloads of nice cars, maybe its their cheaper housing that helps

I think it's just that ppl aren't scared of driving their nice cars on melbournes roads because their actually decent roads unlike sydney!

Steve0, didn't your old boss used to have one? I know there was a Ferrari parked downstairs for ages then when they closed up shop it got taken out... I don't know fezzas for shit and I can't find the picture of it either...

Melbourne is very different to sydney, basically the Greeks, Italians and now some of the rich asians love to show off to their rellos and friends, they can't afford the mortgage but they have crazy cars down there. Much like up here you drive through merrylands and some of the 1st generation born immigrant kids that are now in their 20's are driving around in new M3's... their in debt to their eyeballs, but they can pay off their whole income into a car because they live at home untill thier 50 years old. Melbourne also has much bigger reposession auctions than we do up here and we have a million more people in our city than they do....

Up and Atom...

Appropriate setting for something as crazy and as safe as an Atom to be in... and how do they get ADR with those tiny wheel arches?

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
