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.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
