Best all out performance car I've driven (braking, handling, power, comfort etc) is my old mans blown 370rwkw CV8 Monaro with huge HSV Premium brakes on it. The car is an absolute animal and stops on a dime.

Best handling car i've driven is my mates 370Z, was extremely impressed with the handling of it.

Best thing I have sat in is a Ferrari 599 in Sydney. Sitting in something worth more than our house was definetely an experience.

Hoping to do a Supercar drive day in Brisbane for my birthday next year so will finally get to drive some Ferrari's and Lambo's to see what all the fuss is about :D

well its titled "best car YOU have driven" but for all we know there are people on here that are including cars they have "driven" via playstation or Xbox

speaking from experience?

Which exotic are you bringing to wakefield?

Bobby - hahaha that was like me when I drove the race car in Dubai, I had a throbbing monster for a week!!

I wouldn't feel so bad about that, I absolutely love my car and I haven't even driven it this year :D

Its not a bad thing. The 33 is great to drive. But I would love to have a whirl in an exotic or any 100k+ euro. (even just to putt around town at 50km/h).

My rebuilt porsche 911 c2, its a totally different car to drive compared to anything else on the road , heres a pic , also been lucky enough to drive a R35

lol, Chubbeh had a chubby.

Seriously though, i found the straights a bit boring, but fark me cornering in an open wheeler is just insane, had the biggest bruises on the sides of my knees for ages. It was at OP as well, and the dog leg was just epic.

Dude, you has pics of tearing sh!t up in Dubai?

Stu, aren't the TVR's teh cars they call the widowmakers? Did you get a chance to give it a squirt or was it a cruisy drive?

ahh yeah my favourite is my stagea too....perfect street car.

clse 2nd is my old 200b. wonder where that got to. dan better not have sent it to simmsmetal. maybe its time for my 3rd ownership of that car.

Some of you may know those plates too..

porsche_911_turbo_le.jpg

Not the same car but this 911 Turbo LE was one of the nicest sounding, pleasurable cars to drive. The rx7 just hits warp speed and deafens ears. 1/500 in Race spec every made. It was offered to me for sale after I bought the RX7 .. It hurt to say no

P.S in regards to above.. This is a widow maker

only games I play are first person shooters on pc, I hate car games there stupid and unrealistic.

And i'd only take an exotic to wakey if insurance covers it, not worth loosing half the cost of a house

Was the 911 made in first production 1964? I cant find much mention of the 994 GT2 but fairly certain the Merc was made well before that. They invented "sports" in sports cars as they crushed the Italians hands down when they built this car. It was made in the 1950s

"Mercedes 300SL was the first successful super car built in the year 1954. It has 2 seats with gull wing doors. It is the most refined and most Inspirational sport car of our era. It's fuel injected 3 litre produced over 240bhp giving a claimed top speed of 165mph. They also named it "Widow maker" since many male driver died crashing their 300SL."

To back it up .. some useless top gear mention

I only know it because that bodystyling is timeless, way before its time..

And everybody has forgotten to metion the fact a good example of these things easily passes the 1 million AUD price range. I remeber watching an episode of foxtel about the History of Mercedes, this thing has been stuck in my head ever since.

ANd aparently the ride and performance is better than the average 1980's car (so people have said)????? Either way they look awesome.

mm best standard road car prob f430 scuderia,

but nothing has compared to my 34 gtr b4 i sold it to my brother 470awkw t51r rb30 with everything, no lag and was just crazy on the street, stil prob the ultimate car until i finish my 32! which is pretty much the same shit but better :( dry sump, 380mm AP's, carbon interior and lots of carbon!

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
