That's the one where the bumper half fell off it when he left the pits last year if I recall correctly? Must admit I smiled at the pic, but not laughed.

How were the '35s being driven Kev? Hard or conservatively?

i seen an r8 every couple of days now.. yet i still get excited.

wouldnt happen to be that guy whos always driving it in a suit on toorak road/burwood hwy?? cause i see the same one alot

Genuine Fastback Eleanor super snake (the 700hp version) like from "Gone in 60 seconds" sounded like the world was ending as it came down punt road, with the whine of the charger. Followed by a black Countach, i think its the replica that everyone keeps seeing around.

Canary yellow Lotus Esprit V8 parked on Russel St around 1330 today. Black plates were [XQUSIT] or something similar. The paint job was perfect and literally glimmering.

Almost every 2nd guy who walked passed was checking it out or taking photos of it. Nice to see a sexy, English non-Aston car getting that attention. Owner obviously spends a lot of care and attention.

Hehe - it's actually Norfolk Mustard, and it's an S4s not a V8 - THE best version. It was me and a mate out and about today while I was in Melb, we were actually over at Louis Vuitton across the road - he's in the doghouse with the lady so he had to buy her an expensive pair of shoes :P

And btw yes - this Esprit gets driven like it's stolen, and is a concours winning car, no better caretaker for it.

The car should have a decent photoshoot soon, until then: http://aussieexotics.com/forum/ferrari/the...g20709#msg20709

Within 24hrs

On my way home;

Yellow Galliardo (again)

Ferrari Modena (red - duh!)

Lamborghini Diablo (black)

At shops near my work (Mt Eliza);

Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead (THAT has a PRESENCE!)

3x Porsche Cayenne Turbo's (they are everywhere around here)

2x Aston Martin DB9 (one black, one "brittish racing" green)

Just ridiculous.

spotted a lamborghini gallardo superlagga or however you spell it on melton hwy yesterday. Pulled up next to him at the lights and my mate in the passenger seat said to the driver give it a rev.. He replied "its not a race car".. made my day

Wow... you're one lucky bastard :) . Pure car porn.

Sorry for mis-identifying your ride on so many counts lol. Does your mate drive the Testa in the photo? Geez... LV shoes. Had to have done something pretty bad.

    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later. 
    • Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.
    • Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)  
    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
