Pffft. Haters :)

It's a gem of a car. About the only thing you can't do in 6th is roll off the line but it will pull away nicely from 50kmh cruising through small towns.

Now looking for the cash to get membership.....or hopefully James can call on me again.

And.....I didn't fill the tank but it needs detailing before next use anyway. Bugs vs RS4 = no contest. And auto wipers FTW!!

More detail to follow.

Oooh, I forgot to mention the blonde hitchikers. Actually didn't pick them up and barely avoided the rapidly reversing local built barge stopping for them but,....

Would be the perfect machine for that too, luggage and all.

Damn I'm so moving to QLD one of these days and working at Sanctuary Cove ;D

James it was my pleasure and please call again anytime.

Feel free to use, edit and use, link to, or quote me on any of my comments or pictures as well. With your permission I will offer a more polished version to some magazines for possible publication with due credit and reference to your organisation.

Kaz, thanks for the heads up as well. I really enjoyed trying something different.

BTW, James cannot leave Melbourne. It wouldn't be the same without him, and by that I mean it wouldn't be any better. He is welcome to visit as often as he can.

James, just had a quick Q from a mate. Know anything amusing about this?

Has he heard about the Audi launch at Hamilton Island?

I'm not sure I got the full details...

Audi sent a few cars up there (R8??), and a few journos and interested buyers.

the first run, some guy takes off down the runway flat out...

was a small problem with the brakes (as in, they didn't work) - he left the end of the runway, but went down not up

not sure how true it is!

Thanks again for your help Geoff - great article too!

I'll be sure to call on you again :P

* and no, had not heard about that Audi mishap. Our R8 and the Ford GT are out at QLD Raceway today

Talk soon

J

    • Heaps of historical info on this, a quick Google gave dates back to 2012, all talk about identification markings, dimples, shapes of mounting surfaces, washers, that are concave or something to match the fasteners mounting surface, which ARP states that if the washer, if it uses a washer in its application, isn't the right way around, it can cause premature failure,  even if it was torqued up correctly with whatever lube is meant to be used There is even talk about getting the bolts Xrayed to check the structure, one was about some builder getting multiple sets of bolts, having them Xrayed, and picking from those results Nowadays identical "looking" fake parts, in identical looking fake packaging are everywhere, with all the markings and stuff, the only way you know they are not legit is Xray or when they fail I assume if you don't want fake parts, and don't have a Xray machine handy, is to get them directly from ARP in the USofA, aftermarket rod and head bolts aren't something to take for granted  Imagine building a big dollar build only to find you lunch it because of an inferior fake fixture let go 😫

    • It's in the bloody domain name twice! Yes...the GTR boxen have, for some reason, been cheaper than the RWD boxen for a long time. 10 years ago the GTST box was available here for <AU$3k. 5 years ago the GTT box was available for ~AU$3300. Both retail through 3rd party. Now the GTT box is >4k locally and only available for less if you're willing to jump through some hoops. Apparently they can be ordered from Nissan dealers for $3-3.5k at trade pricing. A friend of mine has a new GTT box sitting on his showroom floor that I keep wanting to hit him up for but I'd somewhat rather he sold it to someone else at his asking price than to me for a mate's rates discount.
