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

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

    • I sense an out of control build thread coming up lololol. That 450kW goal will end up being 600 to 700kW LOL.
    • Nice, thanks for sharing your progress....that's a pretty long list you are putting into it!
    • Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable
    • Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.
    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back.
