Reading the latest version of evo I thought to myself Vector rings a bell.

Anyway here are the specs;

- 10 litre twin-supercharged v8

- 1850 hp = 1425 kw

- 1700 lb ft = 2305 nm

- Est top speed inxs of 440kmh

- Cost, a mere US$400,000

Looks ok, definitely tough.

imagine sitting at the lights next to....anything really.

i want one.

anyway i just thought I would show this as it is leaps and bounds above everything else i have seen.

looks like a NSX rear mixed with a 98 Camaro front wearing Supra headlights.

Been a while since they announced it though. like 2 years.

the styling 'revisions' just get more and more wacky

this was the high point i reckon (this was back when Atari pwned the console market :) )

yup, with you on that one brother. I can picture myself cruising along in that thing listening to some a-ha, take on me, or perhaps some nik kershaw as I'm on the way to my board meeting at compu global hyper mega net.

ahh, why can't I go back to the 80s?

while at a party, do you ever wonder why no one wants to talk to you?

i converse with many a party goer. cheers

LULZ!

you definately wouldn't find any tech company with 'net' in the name to be on the board of back in the 80's

The R35 and veyron were many a year in the making. I hope this one goes ahead. Assuming structural integrity and quality engineering and build, I would have thought $400,000 US to be a bargain.

Does anyone know whether the Joss (spelling?) is making it to production, haven't heard anything for a while.

Ah well, if 300ZX lights are good enough for Lamborghini to wear, then I'm sure Supra lights are good enough for Vector. Plus they'd already be DOT approved and tested etc so good to sell globally.

well we were very cutting edge back then. think cut com, or slash co. we also wore very, very thin ties.

what can I say? except:

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
