was the number plate 5432? Ive had an 08 black galardo spider on test drive lately, found out the car had some unwanted history behind it so i took it back.

No this car is a UK import...

What 08 Lambo do u have??

i love this thread because it reminds me how lucky i am everyday :D:):)

i work at Rick Damelian's Prestige and get to see and drive these kinds of vehicle's every day.

we are a customer of Ateco who are the sole supplier of Ferrari's in sydney. heading into there vehicle storehouse is like walking into a porn set the feeling is quite overwhelming . wall to wall prancing horses and even a maserati or two. our most recent ferrari is a california convertable, and i will be going to pick up a 599gtb in the coming week's.

the black 599gtb with the yellow callipres? If so Ive got it still, courtesy car

(strokeing my ego) as I wait for my 458 to come in (end of next year).

And when are you guys going to sell that db7 and the silver 360 spider, they have been there since before i bought my first 360 (9 months now)... the price and milage of these cars keep going up but they can not sell them.

lol yeah them things are impossible to sell, the VT Diablo has been with us for some time aswell, who ever sells any1 of them 3 cars gets to drive a 458 at eastern creek as our reward for streeting them ,

They arn't impossible to sell, they have just put the price up, the silver 360 was $176 or $175k in january, now it's $192k with 2000 extra km's on it. Doesn't logic say if it didn't sell @ $176 then why put the price up to $192k? The car is only worth $170k at most, most people don't want traditional manuals in those cars, and a Silver Ferrari doesn't sell for anywhere near red/black or yellow sell for. If that car was the exact same car in tidyer condition, red exterior with tan interior and F1 gear box, it would easily sell for $220k, ive seen red/tan,F1 similar milage UK imports get $210k only 2 weeks ago.

Also what ever happened to the black modena coupe, what was really wrong with it? I took it for a test drive in January and put deposit down, took it for a 2nd test drive and it came up with a suspension fault and a generic fault. That's when I dropped it and demanded my deposit back because the head sales man at the time (the one that got fired from Ateco recently) wouldn't let me get a pre purchase inspection done on it. The repairs were an easy $30k because a month afterwards the price of that car was advertised for $30k less.

i don't know anything about that particular car man ..... and i don't do the pricing of the vehicle's i just try to do the best deal's that will make both parties happy. i'm not one of those salesmen who try to get the most i can. i just weed out the real customer's from tyre kicker's.... like we had a Lebo guy come in with his mates and offer $90k for our 08 m3 convertible, when the ticket price is $170k lol bloody tyre kicker with big dream's and he stayed there for an hour saying the same car is for sale for $100k in melbourne , i told him go to melbourne get it bring it here and i'll give him $130k for it .... well no word back from him since.....lol

Spotted some supercar in Tweed Heads today and I have no idea what it was... and I know my supercars. It was silver and had QLD plates but I wont post the plate details unless anyone thinks they know it.

Was as low if not lower (seriously) than a lambo and would have to have been 2m wide.... so the stance was pretty lambo-esque. Front had two circular lights either side, kind of like a Zonda but I din't get a good look at the front. Side had two big vents with sort of fins kind of like a Saleen S7 but only 1 or 2 fins. It had squarish intakes sticking up behind the side windows like a Countach but less boxy. The back over the engine like a Diablo/Countach with countach like vents behind the sticking up side vents, and vents on the engine cover like a diablo with the small rear window just like a diablo/countach.

Rear from the brake lights down was very unique though.... the lights looked like a late 90's integra brake lights. Long and skinny... the car overall looked from that era, late '90's to early 2000's as latest.

I seriously have nfi what this car was. I was driving behind it for 5 mins and got a few glimpses of the sound and it was nice, but I don't think the driver put the foot down enough but it sounded V12ish for the most part.

Anyone have any idea? lol probably not... it's a qld car and the qld section doesn't have a thread like this.

I heard a while ago Damelian is closing down his prestige/exotics section....

Also saw this again at a different exotics dealer from last time......

What 08 Lambo do u have??

sorry late reply...

E-gear coupe, only mod so far is a full Tubi Exhaust (standard exhaust was too quiet), so basically you will hear it way before you see it :)

good parking job :D

I own the property... Besides why would I want people parking next to my cars... It's bad enough in my skyline with people opening their doors onto my car... Try getting dents out of a $300k gallardo...

spotted twice in a week 2 x ferrari's both cruising together on both occasions (once on the m5, doing 10 under they both turned to look at the sound of my titanium exhaust =) and once in the city), 1 brand new white 458 italia and one black one that looked like a 599 wasnt sure because i was looking at the 458.

sitting on norton st last week (leichardt) in the space of half an hour saw 4 STI's, not a big deal but then a white gallardo, red 458, silver R8 and a murcie, cant remember colour, think black.

they werent cruising together, all at least a few mins apart just another night on norton i guess?

saw the 458 on m5 as well on 18 dec, damn they are nice!

oh and thanks for the pic of the 700hp gtr, will look out for that.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
