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:

    • 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       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
