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...

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
