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:

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
