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

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".

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
    • You must be fun at parties.
