12.9 a 32 R does doesn't it?

Depending on how hard you launch it.

Or with Boost Restrictor removed.

From memory Mr. Windsurf (Andrew) ran a 12.7 sec, no Boost Restrictor.

Times I have seen for the R32 GTR are between 13.7 to 12.8...

But I only take 'published' figures... Meaning magazine articles... Websites are just estimates...

you reckon the BA was no good?

it was a good step forward for ford

new build, new engine from scratch, drive by wire, performance range

before the BA they were really lacking any decent performance models

no i said i liked the BA more than current shape.

maybe from stand still to ~70ks, but after that i doubt the SS would be crying...

i meant @flywheel

HSV coupe/monaro. thank me in a few years when they're worth a pretty penny.

cheaply made yes, compared to an Audi. compared to a Nissan/Toyota? lol dont think so...

there's more to an ///M3 than just power/straight line speed

this.

yes.

coupe/monaro dont like all have high ks or spastic price, you the interior is the equivelant of a vt commo no thanks.

audi's are nothing special my mates TT current model interior is pitiful to my lexus, and dont even start with merc or bmw interior eats both alive.

lol i was wondering where mohsen was with his 2c on ford vs holden, then remembered that I banned him.

only thing he can give opinions on is the bus vs train

yours is Lexus not Toyota...

actually lexus gets shittier specs than toyota. only benefit of buying a lexus is standard leather. No 1JZ, no air suspension, no wagon option etc etc.

senator kinda looks like ass if you ask me. I'd buy a calais and bring in pontiac G8 kit from the US and slam it on 22's.

bogans will all be mad jelly.

you can buy the pontiac front as a factory option when you buy a new holden (I have been told)

I reckon it looks ugly and goes in the same category of chevy badges.

  • Like 1

I was sitting at my desk when I remembered a phone call I'd forgotten to make. I found the number and dialled it. A man answered, saying "Hello" I politely said, "This is Fred. Could I please speak with Robert Campbell?" Suddenly a manic voice yelled out in my ear "Get the right f*kin' number!" and the phone was slammed down on me. I couldn't believe that anyone could be so rude. When I tracked down Robert's correct number to call him, I found that I had accidentally transposed the last two digits.

After hanging up with Robert, I decided to call the 'wrong' number again.

When the same guy answered the phone, I yelled "You're a flamin mongrel!" and hung up. I wrote his number down with the word 'flamin mongrel' next to it, and put it in my desk drawer. Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I'd call him up and yell, "You're a flamin mongrel!". It always cheered me up.

When Caller ID was introduced, I thought my therapeutic "flamin mongrel" calling would have to stop. So, I called his number and said "Hi, this is John Smith from the phone company. I'm calling to see if you're familiar with our Caller ID Program?" He yelled "NO!" and slammed down the phone. I quickly called him back and said, that's because you're a flamin mongrel!"

Then one day I was at Lakeside Shopping Centre, getting ready to pull into a parking spot. Some guy in a gunmetal grey Land Rover cut me off and pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for. I hit the horn and yelled that I'd been waiting for that spot, but the idiot ignored me. I noticed a "For Sale" sign in his back window, so I wrote down his number.

A couple of days later, right after calling the first flamin mongrel (I had his number on speed dial by this stage,) I thought that I'd better call the Land Rover flamin mongrel, too. I said, "Is this the man with the gunmetal grey Land Rover for sale?" "Yes, it is", he said. "Can you tell me where I can see it?" I asked. "Yes, I live at 221 William Street. It's a terraced house, and the car's parked right out in front."

"What's your name?" I asked. "My name is Steve Hansen," he said. "When's a good time to catch you, Steve?" "I'm home most days as I'm currently unemployed." "Listen, Steve, can I tell you something?" "Yes?" "Steve, you're a flamin mongrel!" Then I hung up, and added his number to my speed dial, too. Now, when I had a problem, I had two dream boats to call. Then one day I came up with an idea.

I called flamin mongrel #1. "Hello?" "You're a flamin mongrel!" (But I didn't hang up.) "Are you still there?" he asked. "Yeah," I said. "Stop calling me," he screamed. "Make me," I said. "Who are you?" he asked. "My name is Steve Hansen." "Yeah? Where do you live?" "I live at 221 William Street, a terraced house. There's a gunmetal grey Land Rover parked out the front." He said, "I'm coming over right now, Steve. And you had better start saying your prayers." I said, "Yeah, like I'm really scared, flamin mongrel," and hung up.

Then I called flamin mongrel #2. "Hello?" he said. "Hello, flamin mongrel," I said. He yelled, "If I ever find out who you are..." "You'll do what?" I said. "I'll kick your arse," he exclaimed. I answered, "Well, flamin mongrel, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now."

Then I hung up and immediately called the police, saying that I lived at 221 William Street, and that I was on my way over there to kill my gay lover. Then I called Channel 7 News about the hood war going down on William Street.

I quickly got into my car and headed over to William Street. I got there just in time to watch two dream boats beating the crap out of each other in front of six police cars, an overhead police helicopter and a news crew. Now I feel MUCH better. Take it from me, anger management really works...

thats not a great comparison when your talking the top of the tree for the manufacturer and the 8 is a over priced heap of shit, thats well known.

thats not top of the range, top of the range is the RS6 with a lambo v10 under the bonnet. nuff said

its fair enough if people dislike something, but to say its shit, overpriced etc is just being narrow minded and queer

ever read a review on an audi? always say teh same shit, hence why you see fk all of them around. audis biggest killer is everything is an option. hows this for a "top of the range/flagship car" and options list.

Sports differential: $3000

Sports air suspension: $2200

20-inch alloys with 265/40 tyres: $3000

Adaptive cruise control with stop/go function plus lane and side assist: $9000

Dynamic steering: $3500

Full LED lighting package: $2700

Night vision with pedestrian detection: $5400

Double glazing with rear privacy glass: $5500

Sunroof with solar panel: $1100

Electric sun blinds for the rear: $2700

Sports front seats: $1100

Front seats with ventilation and massage function (I used this; you want it. Trust me on this.) $5500

19-speaker, 1400W Bang and Olufsen audio system: $14,400

Rear seat entertainment system: $9800

neally all of that is standard on rival cars, for $220k give or take i aint adding options.

lol yeh they add cheap leather and charge you twice as much thas exactly all they add. :rolleyes: so many know it alls

lexus is pretty win. They've taken Toyota's quality manufacturing process and pushed it to another level. There's a reason they're the biggest car company in the world.

Always been thinking about moving to Toyota but got it comfy here at Cadbury haha

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
