every time i see one of those things it reminds me of my time working on the race version

easily the WORST and most frustrating racing car I ever worked on

I remember the Lamborghini personel having a discussion in Italian "how did those dumb Aussies manage to get that shitheap on the front row of the grid !"

We out qualified all the gun Lambo teams from overseas.

funny how the 'team' has moved on a little since 1998..

Yep Ash that is the one although the blue looks a little darker in real life.

I saw it too (sat on the doorsill ;) ) and used to chat to the owner, when I saw it was a bright sunny day and so was quite a light smurfy blue - I have a vid of it somewhere from years ago as it drove past and beeped at me.

An F40? Really? Did it look genuine? Never seen one in Melb before. You're very lucky.

I had my doubts when it was coming towards me but then it passed me it sounded like sex on wheels and it looked like sex on wheels my jaw fell out the window and i had a massive bulge in my pants. tried to grab the next u-turn but i was then hit by a red light so i could catch up to it and drive beside it.

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
