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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
