Was back in Sydney over the weekend for a wedding. Anyway when walking from China Town to the Rocks at around midnight these are the following cars i saw, in order that i saw them

- Yello Dodge Viper , 1st one i have ever seen on the road

- Yellow 355 Convertible,

- Yellow Lotus Espirit S4

- Yellow Lamb Murcilago (Spelling???)

... all yellow and all worth serious bankroll, have to say is take the Viper then the Lotus, but wouldnt complain if i had any of them.

I honestly think that part of owning a Ferrari is just enjoying that motor spin up.

I mean I honestly would have a better day at work if I could spin up the 3.5 litre v8 every morning and frighten the kids at the bus stop and annoy the neighbours.

Wonderful sounding motor.

I wouldn't bother with Porsches and Vipers.

T.

in my area, which i thought was predominantly students & the like, i see an alarming number of diablos & the occasional 360. dont know what they're doing in the newtown/stanmore area..

phat sounding cars though. 1st gear seems to go forever

I work close to the Westin Hotel in Sydney. Whenever you are in the city, take a walk past there and check out some of the weapons parked in their driveway. There are often 2-3 brand new Ferraris there - I think some Ferrari dealer must put people up in the Hotel for the night and deliver them there.

I have seen (parked in a row)

Red 355GT

Yellow 360 Modena

Red F50

Other cars I have seen there:

Red/orange Porche GT3 Turbo

At least 4 different Porche GT2 Turbos

Several Maseratis

Aston Martin DB7

Nissan Skyline R33 GTST M-Spec (mine) :)

Other less interesting cars like Bentleys and big RR tanks

....the list goes on

The guy in the 355 was by himself doing laps, man if i had that car id be going up Bells Line of Road or Putty Rd etc, not at 5km/h down George Street.
Their are no women walking up n down the Putty Rd, I'd be doing what he is :boobies2:

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
