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.

W427.

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

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".

    • I ❤️ Matty I would like to thank Matty for going out his way in securing me a OEM NC detachable hard top for the NC Matty, your worth your weight in gold, and I cannot say how much I really appreciate your outstanding help I'll get it colour matched once I pick it up sometime in Dec-Jan 😁  
    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
