Today's fun and games!!!

dear god guys tell me you got to drive that thing! terrible colour but I'm still sooo jealous its physically painful! :laugh:

I am posting a group buy hitman to take out james and jarrod and any other people who get to drive cars I can't afford to breathe on... who is with me?... I reckon if we get enough people we might be able to get chopper to do it for us... ready for the blow torch and pliers guys? :O:)

lol, the MCLF1 in Melbourne is parked in my parents appartment block each night, the owner is a top guy. He has had some other awsome collectable cars over the years..

i nearly crashed the other day; due to laughing so hard.. this is what i saw....

was driving along stud rd about 3pm the other day, driving along, went over ferntree gully road and kept crusing.. about 50 metres up the road, near a little pesdestrian bridge, i seen some kids moving around.. looked as if they were fighting.. i got closer, but to my amazement, it was something completey different...

these kids were about 12 years old, and shuffling!! they were normal kids, one black, the other two white, in normal clothes.. shuffling! shit you not, they were dancing with each other, getting close and jiggy with it.. i laughed so damn hard.. they were trying to do the running man :) hahahahaha :laugh:

Mclaren F1.... Dammmmm

1) Glad he enjoys it and makes use of it

and

2) What drugs do I need to sell / grow / make to be able to afford a garage like that :P

lol, thats an odd supercar spotting.....

haha.. excatly what I was thinking! :whistling:

Anyway, back on topic... I stole this from another forum, but I though I'd share it with you guys cos its like... interesting and stuff. It's about that McLaren F1 that was mentioned before:

This car is believed to be chassis #009, and is reportedly owned by Tony Raftis (who is/was the owner of Prancing Horse Racing i've heard). Its former owner was believed to be Dean Wills, former CEO of Coca Cola Amatil. Yes, #009 was the F1 was that crashed by a BMW Service tech in Sydney. The car was sent to Stowe Smash Repair before being flown back to Woking in the UK. It was repaired and returned to Dean, and is now probably owned by Tony Raftis. And it certainly is street registerable...

There are rumors that there is a White F1 in Australia, but it's never been seen or photographed or had its ownership determined. There were only 2 White factory F1's built and 1 has been spotted in Japan. The other remains unknown.

The actual numbers built were 7 Prototypes, 64 road cars, 28 GTR's (some of which have now been road registered), 5 LM's, 2 GT's and 1 spare car owned by McLaren Cars. A total of 107. There's probably less than 100 still in existence after the official crash test, and "unplanned" crash tests.

Here's some more pics as well:

I saw this guy at the carwash on thursday, is it a red Bently Arnarge that he owns? The carwash guys informed me that he owns a mclaren F1.

Im told by people that there is only the 1 in aus, and by others that there is 2 or 3...

there was 2 or 3 F1s in aus, but i have no idea about now. My friends father was one of the guys who serviced them in sydney back in the mid 90s. I once got a little ride around the block in one, but I wish I had been nicer to the guy as his father took him and 1 friend on a big drive to deliver it somewhere. sadly I wasn't that 1 friend...

Spotted a Mercedes CLS63 AMG parked in brisbane tonight. For a $255,000 car, it looks positively pedestrian. Sure you get 378kw, and 0-100 in 4.5 sec, but it comes with undersized and average looking 18inch wheels!

I'd rather spend that kind of money on a V8 Vantage if I was after a luxury GT!

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
