W427.

It had a nice meaty resonating note to it, but I'm still trying to fathom how anyone could part with $150k of their hard-earned on a Commodore.

That's AMG C63 territory. Heck, I probably live on Weeties for 6 months and put the extra $ into a GTR.

i saw the Red one with W427 as plates at springvale junction once, after reading about it in Wheels mag during the day, to see if fly past was awesome :P and yeah they sound sweet

Saw three ferraris on wellington road, they were all 1min apart from each other. Driving away from Lysterfield. I wonder if they knew each other? Was random to spot three of them on the same stretch of road at same time haha

A red ferrari 430 scuderia, a red california and a red f430 i think.

Ferrari overload haha

had to laugh, was walking up to get some lunch yesterday and there was a Aston V8 Vantage sitting there with a young kid going nuts over it... he was lining it up to take a photo on his phone when a F430 drove past behind it... he didn't know where to look or what to take a photo of... made me chuckle, I hope he got them both in the same shot

the red f430 and the scuderia is owned by the same guy. see it often on wellington road. saw him washingt he f430 with a brush once :thumbsup: i almost cried. after he dried it though wasnt much swirl marks but it was painful to watch

I agree. But I guess for die-hard aussie V8 fans who won't consider anything else that's the pinnacle of their life's goals :P

Then again, people could say the same for parting almost 300k for a Nissan (spec V)

this had so much road presence.

such a pretty car in the flesh, and they sound fantastic!

What kind of TVR is that?

Went down to mornington with my girlfriend yesterday and like OMG there were soo many amazing cars

i was stood literally drooling over a Brabus AMG C63 and then the owner got in it, and let loose on the engine OMG OMG OMG OMG i almost blew in my pants then and there.

then about 10mins later a Ferrari 599GTB went screaming past, in what seemed to be 1st gear doing about 50 and deafening us all.

then while walking around spotted a Bentley W12 roadster and a SLK 63 AMG :D

i swear, people and their money.. i love how the brabus have the black Merc badges on them, and they look and sound TOUGH!

but without a doubt, the brabus made my day, i have only ever seen 2 in Australia that was my 2nd one!

wish i took some pics, but only had my iphone and yeah.. my girlfriend was kinda getting pissed that i was more interested in the cars lol!

Yeah, Mornington Peninsula locales like Sorrento/Portsea are where all the holiday homes of the rich & famous are. I was overdosing on European super-exotica down there last Xmas. When I came back to Melb and saw a Ferrari 360, I was like "meh".

    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
