Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could fill me in on some specs in a car that 'merged' past me the other day. I was in a Porsche Boxter S sitting at a set of Traffic lights in Lane Cove.

The only things I got a glimpse of before being laughed at by twin rubber lines, was that it was a dark blue, with a red roll cage. The owner seemed to be a youngish sort of guy? Sorry it's so vague, but it's all I can remember

And before you ask, I'm not police or anything, and I don't want names or anything like that, I'd just love to know what that 32 has under it's hood and what it's making at the treads.

The Porsche I was in does the 1/4 in high 13s, and it was beaten sufficiently.

Any ideas?

Cheers!

no regulars on this forum spring to mind immediately when you say blue r32 with red rollcage.

maybe if you went back to where you saw him last on the same day next week and around the same time you might see him again? lol shot in the dark really.

I'll move this thread to the NSW section as they may be better equipped to help you.

Lane Cove hey?

Im from there too - but this GTR/skyline doesnt sound familiar, lately I have found a few lines that arent actually forum members on here, so now its hard to see who is who!

I'll keep an eye out though for sure!

I see a dark blue 2 dr R32 everyday at about 7.30am in regents park heading to god only knows. I cant remember seeing a red roll cage but I do remember seeing a large front mount which could mean he is running lots of boost. It wasn't a gtr though.

I know enough about cars to recognise a 32 against an s15 :blush:

Yeah it was a mates Boxtster S, but they're not a bad kit of car at all. It's got great throttle responce down load, and a beauiful engine noise right behind your ear, albiet no spooling or BOV's. But for cruising around it's fantastic with the rood down through some twisties.

And for the record I'm not the slightest bit ashamed of being flogged, I'd just like to know how badly i got beaten power wise! I'd kill to own something like that sklyline. And btw nice miata in the Cove, I also own one, you up at the plaza often? Haven't seen it around?

Porsche Boxter S? they're nuggets!

I had some 'fully sick' bloke with his gf in the car take me down Parramatta Road, I left him for dead in my old RB20DET 180SX.

That wouldn't be a slow car!

boxters can do 13's?????????

Yeah I'm failry sure it's like 13.9 for the Boxter S. Though that figure would probably be absolute perfection driving.

The search continues...

That wouldn't be a slow car!

She was slow, alot of show, not that much go.. only made 190kws at the wheels, nothing special.

You might have seen it before, LP2 Midnight Purple 180SX with GP Sports body kit with the plates SKY-180, a blonde chic owns it now :)

Sadly not, but I'll keep my eyes peeled! My Miata makes a blistering 82kw at the wheels! I think a snail on the pavement beat me off the lights the other day. Left a nice thick black line underneath and a lot of shell smoke. I also get beaten by those scooters old people use!

you muppets are as useful as tits on a bull.

guy comes in here asking if you've seen or know of an r32 skyline matching his description, and you guys turn it into some epic discussion of your favourite line vs your favourite porsche vs your favourite fords now?

stick to the topic or GTFO. start a new topic if you wanna bash porsches or Group A or whatever the hell else.

I live in lane cove mate, have not seen one. Dark blue is a very rare colour from factory. I believe the GTR which came in blue in the R32 was only made 100 times, GTST would be no doubt the same. Unless sprayed but dunno why you would spray it blue.

You sure its a R32?

Saying that its not hard or expensive to make a R32,33 or 34 move abit faster than 13's Unlike the Porka which is quite costly. Ive smoked alot of Porkas.

Hey weapon, right? I came on that cruise with u down to the beaches that night - the red miata was mine, I'm mates with Chris from the foot.

Yeah deff was a 32, positive about it. How's your rig running?

i too live in lane cove. haven't seen the car you speak of. the boxster S surely is quick. but how old is the car? my old man drives a 911 and over time the thing has lost some power and doesnt quite accellerate these days like it would have when it was brand new.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
