Ah, it's only really the centre console - from the description I thought he meant the whole dash.

A pic from a couple years ago - haven't taken many other of the dash, got some vid of trying to figger out how to use the A/C though. :)

i am aware of that, usually wheels with yellow strips are perfectly round. if you look at the 430 wheel it is very clear where the wheel needs to be for the car to go straight. its just some funny supercar wank... like starter buttons.

Bah - Start buttons are cool

BTW - Ryan you would have heard the rattling exhaust yesterday... the whole bracket had snapped. Good old Fiat build quality.

Some nice cars at Ferrari today too - about 5x Gran Turismos, a 599, a couple of Scags, a 550 Superamerica and yet another F40. Cool!

yeah, i still think they are cool, but they are still wank :blink: especially in the rs4 with the launch sequence.

and yeah, heard the rattles, it must be a bridging thing between all the fezzas. its not real unless it rattles.

Also at Ferrari are some lovely rare machines in Rosso Corsa...

550 Superamerica, 599 and the best of all... F40!

* plus our Melbourne Ferrari's having a drink at Shell. Lots of noise as we went up Punt Rd :huh:

There are quite a few Gran Turismos undergoing pre-delivery at the moment.

They are simply stunning!

They're awesome looking cars. I saw one on the road when I was in Italy, I think I nearly snapped my neck trying to get a glimpse of it!

Spotted this today while working a cilents house....

It's a 1971-2 Aston Martin DBS V8

Details of it are here...

http://www.astonmartins.com/v8/dbsv8.htm

This car was in mint condition, the pics don't do it justice....and it sounded like the world was ending when it (eventually) started. The owner told me he was the 3rd owner and all the miles on it were original!!

The poor thing hasn't been started for over 2 months, so there was a little smoke, but geez it sounded so nice.... and it just looked so sexy. He also told me he dosen't drive it much, as he only get about 10 miles to the gallon :D I had to decline a drive due to work :x :cry: :cry:

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
