Yeah, i couldnt believe my luck to see the F1 testing. We also saw the new F430 Scuderia doing hot laps around the test track at dusk; glowing brakes and all. They were testing tyres.

The town is amazing; its full on Ferarri. You can see trucks with loads of alloy engine castings coming from the foundry and everything. Its all pretty exxy though. I bought a Ferarri mug for A$36!

My dad told me that 2 weeks ago around the corner from eastern creek raceways he saw a Porsche Cayenne with a car trailor towing a 360 or F430 race car(he wasn't sure which model it was)

Murci in 'high-volume intake' mode in North Synneh- Which either means he was just doing 120+km/h, or is posing

Aren't you miss-informed.

The wings only stay up until 40kmph. Or unless really hot then they will stay open at speed. But Generally they are shut.

That is my brothers Lambo. Infact it's his 2nd one murchie!! He is far from a poser. Drives it like a Lambo should be driven.

Havent had a look in here recently. Since my last post in this thread I left the glamourous job at "Hollywood Motors" (as the other departments called our shop) to work in fleet management.

Jana Pitman has a Porsche? - I didnt know that athletics paid so well.

I'd say its the endorsements that paid for it.

Spotted yellow lambo "LQQK" at Miranda about an hour ago

Yellow diablo Steveo? He owns an auto trimming shop in the Moorebank/Milperra area, we sublet all our trim work to him when I worked at Aston Martin/Porsche.

Sam you probably have serviced my boss's AM DB7 Vantage, it's a Slate blue-grey auto... :D

Thats the Aston Martin Press car, the one driven by Warren Brown in the Top Gear Australia episode with the 997 Turbo and the Superleggera. Mmmmmm Morning Frost White (factory white with blue pearl)

Spotted an orange Lambo Gallardo this afternoon around 4.30pm, on the railway overpass bridge in Toongabbie, of all places.

Funny that...I spotted an orange Lambo on the M4/Woodville Rd Granville at 12:40-12:45pm :P

    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting
