there is something about 4 turbos & 16 cylinders :)

Just strap 4x Evos together. Cheaper and more powerful.

Plus it's 16-wheel drive. No cheese eating surrender monkey can do that with a VW :)

I think one of the problems is Ni that the P1 cars often end up racking up 50,000km's in 6 months and they are usually HARD km's - so I guess many of these classics just aren't up to that kind of abuse. They probably need something new they can buy and belt around for a few months and then flog off (hence the high car turn over).

Snowy gets 10 out of 10.

Being new (or near new), all our cars are covered by warranty and 24hr roadside assist. Something we NEED to have for 'just in case'.

Some of the other clubs around the world run both classic classics and modern classics - but it's not something we will do any time soon.

That said - Mustang wise, we can look at the new GT-500 Shelbys

Sam - we asked members if they wanted a 599 or LP640, and they chose the Ferrari.

That's not to say we wont get one though - just not right now.

They chose the 599 over the LP640...oh noes....although I guess the average age of most of the members answers the big why question :(

yes of course...

New GT500s are pretty dam hot too tho... same with the new camaro (when its released) and challenger SRT8 but im assuming it wont be viable as there isnt a RHD conversion available

my brother in law has a mighty boy ute if u wanna buy it for P1 l337ness... its pretty sick... red with a thick black stripe through the middle (side on not like racing stripes), polished beetle wheel caps with red steelies and whitewall tyres! Wont have to worry too much about petrol either it only uses about $15 worth for 2 weeks and seeing as the budget is only $500k im sure we can drop the price down for you james to around the $480 mark... mates rates

Interesting that you blokes all picked hot sport cars for the top 10.

I'd have thrown in a Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG, a Maserati GranTurismo and maybe even a BMW X6 as a low points consuming weekday runaround.

    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
    • Did this ever go further ? Would love some updated info
