Its certainly no supercar, but I spotted a 2008 model HSV Grange yesterday...

The most interesting thing about it was the number plates: LS7 HSV :rolleyes:

LS7 is the 7.0L V8 from the Z06 isnt it!? Is this guy lying or is this a test mule maybe?

Phwoaah.. I didnt know they had the CCR in oz yet!

Good spot (even if by proxy! :))

ok sweet thanx 4 dat.. plus they didnt even have one at the motor show so i found it quite strange

Yeah I wasnt surprised that the Veyron wasnt there... 99% of all cars displayed are there for one reason - to be sold! There is no reason to go to the expense to display a Veyron if there is no plan to sell the car in australia (unfortunately for us! :w00t:).

The Sydney "International" Motor Show isnt really a hugely important show in the scheme of things anyway. The Lamborghini Reventon was going to be displayed this year, but they decided not to bring it here JUST IN CASE something went wrong with shipping and they werent able to get the car back in time for the Tokyo Motor Show... it shows how important we are! :D

Yeah, there was a guy on the news a while ago that owned one... and some shit happen with a bank, and the bank wanted to take it off him, so he hid it in some shed somewhere under some shit :D

I'm fairly sure these are unregisterable...

Spotted a whole bunch of Aston Martins, Porsches and various other luxo-mobiles just then, as I went with my old man to Trivett to pick up a car. All of Trivett's service centres are grouped together in Parra/Rosehill. Didn't see Samuel (WTF33R)'s car tho...

Also saw an AMG SLK about 10 minutes later - not sure if it was an SLK55 or 63 or what, but it sounded HOT!!!

    • Yeah, I get that. I try to be as cost-efficient as possible with cars, and typically prefer to buy them at the bottom of their depreciation curve. I was looking at those Bilsteins too as they're roughly in the same price bracket as the BC's - lack of adjustability and being soft put me off, not that I want anything too hard. That's my issue with the Skyline, it's too expensive and it's reflected in my driving. I don't mind going full pelt as long as there's a gravel trap to catch me. Really, proper safety equipment is needed for total confidence. Well this just turned up for the BMW. I'll try and get the front together tomorrow and take some pics of the absolutely horrid rear end; perhaps I'll have a crack at the rear on Wednesday. I need to make the car drivable before the weekend as I'll be driving it over to London.

    • It does sound like a fuse considering the indicators work..I’ll triple check when I’m free and report back.    thanks for the reply.
    • no, the car was a manual 5 speed from the factory and still is.
    • While going through data logs late last week, I spotted a small issue with my WMI. My WMI starts to progressively inject at 11psi of boost. I'm using a 25psi cut in pressure switch on my WMI as an added safety and if the curve is linear, I should hit that 25psi on my WMI system around 13-14psi of boost.  As per my data logs, my WMI pressure switch only activates around 19psi of boost. This is causing my non WMI 4D map to trim for WMI. I'm presuming this is caused by the mechanical switch response time, injection curve not being linear or both.  I ordered a 2-10psi adjustable cut in pressure switch which should correct this. If this doesn't resolve it before my dyno appointment on Friday, I'll just remove the pressure switch temporarily and more than likely replace it with a pressure transmitter afterwards.    BTW Speedtek has yet to refund me.
