Damn Boy Racers Parking Alongside My Car...


Recommended Posts

Don't you just hate it?

A couple of pics i took out the front of work this morning.

It's actually a clients car, an amazing replica GT40. So much attention to detail.

Thought I'd just share this with everyone, kinda made my car look a bit like a bus in comparison :)

yep was farkin sweet in person.

should have seen the people flock to it, within 5 mins of him pulling up there was at least 10 people walking up to take a look - mostly school kids as you can see in the pics.

No need to be modest, it was really your skyline wasnt it they were all coming to look at B)

The latest one isnt supposed to be that great based on Jeremy Clarksons experiences with ownership. :)

most people use a 351.... i seen one once with a Chevy V8 in it and felt like kicking it... but hey... its not a real one so i guess it doesnt matter so much...

wonder how hard it would be to stick a RB28DETT in one :P that should piss a few people off.... if i win lotto im so doing it

hah it was classic on top gear when it broke down and they filmed him having to go home in the equivilent of a barina.

nice pics, and fantastic car.

lol, thanks guys, but i've gotta admit the gt40 easily pulls more than my 33.

the v8 did sound pretty nice, bit cackly at low rpms but awesome when let out a bit.

joked around about taking both cars out for a spin to see how i'd go...

The company that his was sold at but seems to have gone. Some gorgeous cars on there though including many Enzos etc. Well worth a look

Arghhhhhhhhhhh! Lovely! The orginal in the Gulf Colours gets my vote any day. Delicious!

the gulf colours are light blue and orange though? ohh i get it you are saying you would prefer the gulf colours to this ones colour!

Yes there sure are some nice replicas getting around. GT40s are a very sexy car that's for sure.

hmmm, somethings goin down at my work place today.

if it's not wannabe GT40 drivers, then it's a group of army reservists pulling up in front of my office on their day off...

no sh*t, 6 massive army troop carriers just outside my front window, crazy. obviously too scared to park next to the skyline tho...

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
