agreee with dan the man.. the monaro was exported to the uk well before the R8 and so on... according to top gear the r8 has since replaced the monaro in the uk market,

just what i have gathered from top gear.

also agree with topaz

australian or should i say american V8's arent much chop. getting bigger and bigger with minimal power out put increases.. where the euro v8 arent much bigger then 4L and much more powerful, clearly they are more expensive but thats got to be more to do with the car they come in more so then the technology and R&D in the motor themselves...

still want a big V8 tho.

'V8'culture seems to all about 1/4 times and HP bragging rights.

I'm not saying it sucks just it's a bit narrow and anachronistic. Like it's still the 60's.

I don't see much in the mags about handling and stuff, 'track' racing etc....hard to do in a car w/ a big block Chevy obscuring vision, a weight of 2 tons and a live axle I guess. :P It's all 1/4 times and HP, chrome, nasty alloy wheels etc

Still the sound of a big V8 does sound cool all spluttering and clattering at the lights....

I saw a honda with a huge sparkling graphic saying "Fast & Furious" across the windscreen, and another sparkly sticker along the side saying "Prelude" just today. Supercheap plastic looking rims.... f**king piece of shit.

    • Hi, We've all posted some thread, or know of some other person's thread, that contains information that we want to send people who are asking question to. But if we don't have a link readily available, have to go do a search for the thread before being able to do so. So, it occurred to me that we could possibly utilise the auto-text-replace function that fixes some of my swear words to perhaps auto replace some special keywords with text that also has a link to the thread. A specific example. The thread that I did with the improved R32 GTR wiring diagram scans. If the phrase "R32 GTR wiring diagram" could be auto replaced with "R32 GTR wiring diagram" then all I (or @Duncan, or any of the others that refer to the thread) need to do is remember that that's the keyword (or phrase in this case). OK, it would be better if this keyphrase wasn't that long, but it does need to be specific enough that it doesn't get triggered automatically. And obviously there are threads on turbo topics, or suspension topics that we could treat similarly. Alternatively (and/or additionally), I've been thinking about trying to build a library of the real expert content that is trapped in the bowels of the 25odd years of this site. Things like some of SydneyKid's content. There are threads that he started that should be more easily found, and he has individual posts, or series of posts, in other people's threads, containing very good information. Some of us know that it is there, but....just have no memory of exactly where/when/how we saw it. If we had some sort of library thread, we could put posts in there containing links to things we've found, suggestions for how to categorise it, then a mod or other appointed thread maintainer can copy the link and any key text up into the first post in the library thread. There are probably many other ways to get it done. Some sort of wiki is probably the best way.   Thoughts?
    • But, probably that happened to the last person too, which is why the RTV was there.....if you aren't putting a new gasket in you will need to seal the old gasket back to the metal surface with something, the gaskets will generally only work properly for a single use as they set/harden in that shape
    • What is with the horrible blue and white bit in the centre of the wheels, didn't that come off with some scrubbing?
    • Not sure how broadly you define Northside  but Castle Hill Exhaust are still around and could sort it.
    • I haven't done this as I still use the factory cluster, but I do know the circuits for the flash vs on for hi beam are separate which is likely the issue. The ON runs full power through the switch and the flash uses the relay in the engine bay. I'd hit the wiring diagram per GTSBoy's suggestion
