Hey most people here have Skylines, so people go Woah i a Skyline but what do Skyliner's go wow at????????? i dont know i still stand fixated when i see aa Skyline

But i like things liek Supra's as well, even things like MR2 Spyders(not for power for looks of course), but yeah i look at other nice cars, but i gotta admit i hate Mercs, BMW's and Jaguars, just dont like cars that show high class for some reason, makes no sense i got to liek a private school and stuff so i dont hate rich peeps..they just dont appeal, i am sure some understand. Anyhow i just wanna know what gets ur blood pumping, besides a wailing Ferrari and a freshy waxed Skyline. :P

r34 GTR

evo5+ (especially 6.5 makinnen)

any jag pre 1950

any shelby cobra or other clubman (especially if it growls)

any old fords 8's (especially xy, xw, xt and xp)

any old fat yank tanks (ie parisienne)

cefiros

chasers

gt2, gt3

supra (especially kitted up with big wheels and pfc)

loud old rotors (especially when the driver weighs more than the car lol)

little mum cars like festivas and such with p plates and when they're all hottie girls

oh.. and cop cars but its less of a 'wow' than it is a 'woah'

i got a lotta respect for porsche, i think they have done a good job of producing quality car's for ages and havent gone too crazy with there new designes. but just about anything that someone has taken a lot of care of is worth a good look.

lambo's and ferrari's cos u never see them anywhere :P

Porsche GT2-3

All skylines, Especially R34 GTR and midnite purple 33 GTR, although gtst's arent such a wow factor anymore ;)

RZ supras, which are fairly rare, 9/10 MKIV supras in australia are non turbo

I like some BMWs and Mercs but rarely think wow while looking at them,

If it includes motorbikes, then Suzuki Hayabusa 1300 :) which is more of a 'wow' where did he go?

:burnout:

oh and any nice car with power and style driven by a nice looking female :uh-huh:

Ferrari Modena and Marranello (see a Marranello almost every morning)

Lamborghinni Diablo (A guy owns one at a Car Respray Shop near my place)

I always loved the 1995 Porsche 911 Turbo

Dont like Supras as much, ive heard toyota copied the design from Ferrari for the supra. From the side it looks like a Modena exept of course the modena is lower, wider and longer. Damn toyota couldnt even think of therir own designs. No wonder the concept for the new supra looks shit, cuz its their own work...

Pagani Zonda

Koenigsegg (I can never spell that one right the first time:) )

TVR's

All the expensive stuff that I will probably never own.... :D

You will never own or see either one of them unless at a car show :(

Me - Pimpin Merc or Bmw's, Any ferrari, lambo, porsche.

Hyundia excels that try to drag me at the light i say 'wow' what a ***tart :P

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
