Well my partner organised a supercar drive for me for my bday, had no idea she just took me out next thing Im look at a Ferrari Modena 360 and a Lamborghini Gallardo (also a 370z but meh). It was a 4 hour drive through the gold coast hinterlands and yes i got to give it to them. The ferrari had the F1 style gear changes and the lambo had the gated 6 speed.

We summarise the cars by.

Ferrari 360 modena- It was a car that you could drive or your mrs could drive every day, it was comfy and nice in the slow parts but had balls once you got into it, and the sound was great.

Lamborghini Gallardo- This was a brutal beast. Its a purpose built weapon, the ride was hard and you had to concentrate like hell...But OMG the power and acceleration was insane. The exhaust sound just sent shivers down your spine.

I have attached a few link, please turn up the volume when you listen to the lol.

Very nice...loves the interior of the Ferrari and the engine note.

How much did the whole experience cost, if you don't mind me asking? :)

Wow that is really quite low! Especially for a 360 Modena :blink:

I was just thinking that this sounds like a great thing to do when i'm up there on holidays in a few weeks... until i noticed the 30+ restriction. :(

Nah that has to be just a thing they put up. I have heard of plenty of people in their mid 20's doing supercar drive days through Adrenalin. The one I really wanted to do was 5 Supercars in one day (Gallardo, Modena, R8, Lotus, Aston I believe), doesn't look like they do it any more though :(

I think we saw you guys out there. Was it a few weeks ago? We went passed a 360, Gallardo and 370z going up toward the Natural Arch etc. White 32 GTR, grey R31 coupe and a red 300zx? Obviously not as rememberable as the exotics but ahwell.

Sounds like a good idea for a bday present. Would love to get to fang those things around the mountains.

I did mine last sun, but they run every thurs and sun I think. And yes it was certainly memorable.

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
