V8's are an OZ thing? What are you talking about.... Aussie make the worst, most unsophisticated V8's

Ferrari, Aston Martin, Jaguar, BMW, Audi, Mercedes can all produce a V8 capable of 100's more horse power than crappy Falcoons and Commonwhores.

F1 cars are all now 700-780hp 2.4L V8's

pffft!

$250,000 vs $80,000

you'd hope you got a bit more power for that sort of a price difference!

watch that video I posted, Austin martin db9 went around the track the same time as the maloo and the bathurst did it in the same time as a bmw M5

thats not something to just shrug off. More power and "better handling" didnt do them much good did it? you pretty much pay over 100 grand extra for a nice badge and cosmetics

put $100k into an R8 or similar and youre going to have a car that wont be beaten by much!

Don't know if you guys are hit by the same token but, at last australians are at least getting recognised as... humans?

I'd take an XB GT over an aston martin db6, just like i'd take a walky-charged R8 over an aston martin.

else, i'd take aston, flog the f**k out of it, sell it, then buy lots of FT-86's when they come out.

erm... yeah. something like that.

I noticed that Car has one of those adjustable flap valve things on the exhaust to control the exhuast noise, isn't that a instant defect sticker if a cop pulls you over?

You can't compare F1 cars to road cars. Those motors rev to 18,000RPM andonly last 1000km's.

And just for the record, in the late 80's the F1 motors, especially the BMW motors, were a 1.5L 4cyl turbocharged running up to 60Psi boost pressure, and those motors were making over 1500hp....

My 323Ci has one of those flaps in the left exhaust pipe from factory? Easy to remove though...

Weren't they forced to cease production of the Monaro as the volume of exports was getting too high? I was under the impression that if they kept exporting then manufacturing of the Monaros would have had to shift to the US.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
