Hey come over to the shakey isles - got a few here!

3. Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG :D

5. Honda Integra Type-R (the real one) <--- see the odd one here or there, the civic type R even less common...dont wan't either of those!

9. Lexus IS430 <--- very nice, I think I used to park next to one (had a car park in a really flash car park building earlier this year) I'm pretty sure it was that model, had bloody huge wheels!

real integra type r is the jap spec one.. not our detuned peice of shit.

also, some of those cars are prototypes anyway, which makes it a stupid list. IS430.. thats just super hotted up car by some german tuning company, the mazda mx5 with the new 6cyl engine.. im pretty sure that doesnt exist in production and the HSV GTS 6.2-litre V8 .. wtf is that? im sure if it existed it would only be in australia and nowhere else.

i guess that explains the "some are dreams" bit.

maybe some of those cars are just something the manufacturers have played around with, or talked about.

nice list ultim8....Z8, the ultimate convertible!! :bond:

didnt see the "dreams" bit. Wondered what the ppl from carpoint were on.

I gotta say, that IS430 would rock. Basically they have dropped the 4.3 V8 in it and I think it has twin superchargers. I think it makes over 600HP..

That would be my dream car. A luxury sleeper with more mambo than most modified gtr's.

Saw a pic of it in a magazine just a few days ago, but cant remember which one.

I like the idea of the R32 ute.... LOL thats mad.....

What about an RB30/26dett (bottom end/head) powered

RX2/3/4/7 doesent really matter as long as someone puts

a fantastic piston engine into a rotary.....

That would be awsome.... That will piss off all the wank-lllll-ers..

this is all i can find on the IS 430 and none of them say Twin Supercharged

"Lexus is readying an IS430, 4.3L V8 (from the GS/LS 430), 6 speed man, and AWD. It will be availiable in both Sedan and Sportcross variants.

More news will soon be announced."

Doesn't the "V8 Compressor" mean supercharged. Thats how Mercedes signify their supercharged models. But with a K, and that's much cooler. As in "Kompressor".

I agree with the Autech Stagea, and anything by Tommy Kiara. Are TVR's sold in Australia? If not I would like to add all of them to the list.

In regards to the HSV bit well in the UK they get HSV v8 Supercharged as standard!! keep in mind the cost of it

This is taken from EVO mag with the R35GTR concept on the front:

502bhp, V8 5665cc, 16v supercharged. 0 - 100KMH 4.5secs

the question that i have is i thought HSV was aussie yet HSV are selling VERY high spec GTS's to UK why are we getting crap ones? why don't we get em?

Next questions WHY IS IT BEING SOLD FOR 50,000 POUNDS!!! thats right approx $140,000!!! on the next page there is a RUF Porsche Boxter (RUF is like HSV for holden) going for the same price!

It says later in the article for those with a TVR planning a family why not buy one of these this will be the perfect tonic..

HSV as a replacement for a TVR ..... i think not....

What I'd like to have... (not what shuld be allowed into australia)

Maserati 3200GT Convertible (black with cream leather)

BMW Z8

R34 GTR

R32 GTR

Toyota Supra TT (old model)

Toyota Supra TT (new model)

& probably when I have a family of:

1 or 2 kids:

BMW M3 CSL

3 or more kids:

AuTech Stagea with R34 Front conversion.

I'm actually waiting for 2003 when you can bring in the TT Supra 89 model as a 15yo car. Yum yum, same with a R32 GTR, but the 89 GTRs are usually trashed, wheras the 89 toyotas are comparatively well looked after.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
