Welcome to the AMG club.........Thats a mean looking machine.

That pipe is going to sound good, will have to put a louder one on my 6.2L so I can still hear my engine!

when are you getting a G wagen munro??

Nah, Im happy with my E63 AMG.

Besides, I've got a new metallic black Land Drover Discovery 4 on 20s for towing duties. Martin just tuned it to around 640nm.

Seb has pretty much bought the craziest 4WD money can buy....................its going to look sick down Rundle St.

Dare you to get some mud on it.

congrats on the g

i drove one last month (non-amg), along with a few other 4wds, but all were a bit too ott for me - i bought and sold an RR Vogue Supercharged within a few weeks because the body roll was really unnerving and had this weird driving position where i felt i was sliding forward out of the seat when braking and turning

i ended up going with a 12 FJ, surprisingly little body roll, and this way i wont be too upset when i hit the rocks and come away with bruises - first time doing the whole off -road thing

Not sure if there are too many advantages to be had with a larger plenum domino

The jury is still out on that one with VR38. There are companies making them, but look for some hard data :)

(GTR manifold is a pretty nice thing out the box)

Words simply cannot be used to express how great this is!

I got goosebumps when I saw that pic above ^ in the engine bay, looks stock!

I dont think theres anything on the roads that will be able to match or come close to it!

reliability is on our side

Sam, agreed. From what I've seen on YouTube and US boards the Lambos are geared for 100-200 MPH runs etc whereas R3s are pretty much good at everything you could conceivably want from a street car: drag, circuit, street. Personally I am not interested in the flying mile type of events.

What intrigues me is the G6 tranny. I've never had a car with two pedals ...

Building the rest of the cars support systems around the engine at the moment Mark - god only knows you must know the feeling! :)

Carrying out centre exit exhaust system, twin mount rear vent coolers (trans/rear diff), secondary front mount oil cooler

Triple pump fuel system, all new lines, transmission bracing, front differential bracing, the list goes on.

Turning the key on it and tuning it should be the simplest part of the equation.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
