lhd Lambo?

that's the first time i've seen pics of graphitti in japan

yeah i think the most amazing thing about that photo is that there is graffiti and a piece of rubbish on the ground!!! There is never any rubbish on the ground in japan... it's usually spotless!

ive spotted 2 different audi r8's in blacktown in 2 weeks. didnt have time for photos because i was to busy drewling

Was one of them a greyish blue? I saw it on Quakers hill parkway a while back, silver one was at my old workplace when they first came out.

In the city a white Lambo LP460? Had 3 triangles that lit up in the tail lights. Very nice

i keep seeing a nice white R8 near my apartment in the city. it's always parked on pitt st outside world tower. seen it there 3 times in the last few weeks. they look great in white with the big carbon panels as contrast. such a cool car. have to say audi did a great job with the R8, it's a really cool car.

I was working out at Wilberforce (Behind Windsor) last monday.. heard what i thought was a ferrari coming up the street.. it turned into a high pitched drone about 10 seconds later, couldn't figure out what the fck was coming my way.. waited another 10 seconds and the first ferrari came around the corner, skidded it and flew up the street, followed by atleast another 30 i counted flogging there way out of the corner and up the street. It was an incredible site and the noise gave me the fattest boner I've had in quite some time.. I snapped a few pics on my shitty iphone camera but they're not the best quality, definently one of the highlights during my time working here down south!

Spotted something which I'm sure was a Gallardo Spyder tonight going past the restaurant on the corner of the GWH and Pendle Way in Pendle Hill, around 9.30 tonight. It had already gone past me when I noticed it, and had other cars behind it blocking me from getting a proper look.

Its kinda cheating, but i just got back from Europe and while i was there, i visited Maranello in Italy (where the Ferarri factory is). They've got an awesome Galleria there where all of the Formula 1 engines are on display, along with the Enzo and F40 (pictured) and other historic Ferrari's. I reckon the Enzo is the most beautiful car ever made.

I also snuck up to the Fiorano test track and saw the new 2009 Formula 1 car being tested.

Included is a pic of the 1986 twin turbo 1.5 litre F1 engine producing over 1000hp, and some of the latest F1 engines.

Shaun.

    • Hello,new to the group, I bought a R32 from auction recently, wondering if anyone knows the cars history, seems to have the usual go fast bits on it, plan is to do an engine swap- add 2 extra cylinders and 1 extra turbo. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/i4rjmlzubjbwjtguh6f4s/IMG20241011140744.jpg?rlkey=q0lumm251377vknbqktfwrycq&st=7scvwx4e&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ro24qmwzlczzlfsr4y05x/Screenshot_2024-10-10-10-49-23-90_9a2f5bb2149dae94cd1e190effc09b33.jpg?rlkey=oyguh26ttshlf04ccp48odf4v&st=xloae97b&dl=0   New to forums and posting pics, if links don't work, take it easy on me, 42yrs old and I tune carburettors!!  
    • As far as I know, Infiniti stopped importing vehicles before 2020, even though they were still selling their stock for at least a year or 2 after that, they were older build years, therefore, you can import a 2020 400R, because you couldn't buy an AuDM 2020 built Q50 RS. As for insurance, you might need to go through one of the enthusiast insurance companies, they tend to insure a lot more grey import models than the mainstream insurers as Duncan mentioned.
    • loved seeing the zenvo on the a1 just after the hatfield tunnel i was the guy in the white van trying to egg you on it sounded awesome and those exhausts glowing red inside insane cheers for the thumbs up tim and tom.
    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
