12.9 a 32 R does doesn't it?

Depending on how hard you launch it.

Or with Boost Restrictor removed.

From memory Mr. Windsurf (Andrew) ran a 12.7 sec, no Boost Restrictor.

Times I have seen for the R32 GTR are between 13.7 to 12.8...

But I only take 'published' figures... Meaning magazine articles... Websites are just estimates...

you reckon the BA was no good?

it was a good step forward for ford

new build, new engine from scratch, drive by wire, performance range

before the BA they were really lacking any decent performance models

no i said i liked the BA more than current shape.

maybe from stand still to ~70ks, but after that i doubt the SS would be crying...

i meant @flywheel

HSV coupe/monaro. thank me in a few years when they're worth a pretty penny.

cheaply made yes, compared to an Audi. compared to a Nissan/Toyota? lol dont think so...

there's more to an ///M3 than just power/straight line speed

this.

yes.

coupe/monaro dont like all have high ks or spastic price, you the interior is the equivelant of a vt commo no thanks.

audi's are nothing special my mates TT current model interior is pitiful to my lexus, and dont even start with merc or bmw interior eats both alive.

lol i was wondering where mohsen was with his 2c on ford vs holden, then remembered that I banned him.

only thing he can give opinions on is the bus vs train

yours is Lexus not Toyota...

actually lexus gets shittier specs than toyota. only benefit of buying a lexus is standard leather. No 1JZ, no air suspension, no wagon option etc etc.

senator kinda looks like ass if you ask me. I'd buy a calais and bring in pontiac G8 kit from the US and slam it on 22's.

bogans will all be mad jelly.

you can buy the pontiac front as a factory option when you buy a new holden (I have been told)

I reckon it looks ugly and goes in the same category of chevy badges.

I was sitting at my desk when I remembered a phone call I'd forgotten to make. I found the number and dialled it. A man answered, saying "Hello" I politely said, "This is Fred. Could I please speak with Robert Campbell?" Suddenly a manic voice yelled out in my ear "Get the right f*kin' number!" and the phone was slammed down on me. I couldn't believe that anyone could be so rude. When I tracked down Robert's correct number to call him, I found that I had accidentally transposed the last two digits.

After hanging up with Robert, I decided to call the 'wrong' number again.

When the same guy answered the phone, I yelled "You're a flamin mongrel!" and hung up. I wrote his number down with the word 'flamin mongrel' next to it, and put it in my desk drawer. Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I'd call him up and yell, "You're a flamin mongrel!". It always cheered me up.

When Caller ID was introduced, I thought my therapeutic "flamin mongrel" calling would have to stop. So, I called his number and said "Hi, this is John Smith from the phone company. I'm calling to see if you're familiar with our Caller ID Program?" He yelled "NO!" and slammed down the phone. I quickly called him back and said, that's because you're a flamin mongrel!"

Then one day I was at Lakeside Shopping Centre, getting ready to pull into a parking spot. Some guy in a gunmetal grey Land Rover cut me off and pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for. I hit the horn and yelled that I'd been waiting for that spot, but the idiot ignored me. I noticed a "For Sale" sign in his back window, so I wrote down his number.

A couple of days later, right after calling the first flamin mongrel (I had his number on speed dial by this stage,) I thought that I'd better call the Land Rover flamin mongrel, too. I said, "Is this the man with the gunmetal grey Land Rover for sale?" "Yes, it is", he said. "Can you tell me where I can see it?" I asked. "Yes, I live at 221 William Street. It's a terraced house, and the car's parked right out in front."

"What's your name?" I asked. "My name is Steve Hansen," he said. "When's a good time to catch you, Steve?" "I'm home most days as I'm currently unemployed." "Listen, Steve, can I tell you something?" "Yes?" "Steve, you're a flamin mongrel!" Then I hung up, and added his number to my speed dial, too. Now, when I had a problem, I had two dream boats to call. Then one day I came up with an idea.

I called flamin mongrel #1. "Hello?" "You're a flamin mongrel!" (But I didn't hang up.) "Are you still there?" he asked. "Yeah," I said. "Stop calling me," he screamed. "Make me," I said. "Who are you?" he asked. "My name is Steve Hansen." "Yeah? Where do you live?" "I live at 221 William Street, a terraced house. There's a gunmetal grey Land Rover parked out the front." He said, "I'm coming over right now, Steve. And you had better start saying your prayers." I said, "Yeah, like I'm really scared, flamin mongrel," and hung up.

Then I called flamin mongrel #2. "Hello?" he said. "Hello, flamin mongrel," I said. He yelled, "If I ever find out who you are..." "You'll do what?" I said. "I'll kick your arse," he exclaimed. I answered, "Well, flamin mongrel, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now."

Then I hung up and immediately called the police, saying that I lived at 221 William Street, and that I was on my way over there to kill my gay lover. Then I called Channel 7 News about the hood war going down on William Street.

I quickly got into my car and headed over to William Street. I got there just in time to watch two dream boats beating the crap out of each other in front of six police cars, an overhead police helicopter and a news crew. Now I feel MUCH better. Take it from me, anger management really works...

thats not a great comparison when your talking the top of the tree for the manufacturer and the 8 is a over priced heap of shit, thats well known.

thats not top of the range, top of the range is the RS6 with a lambo v10 under the bonnet. nuff said

its fair enough if people dislike something, but to say its shit, overpriced etc is just being narrow minded and queer

ever read a review on an audi? always say teh same shit, hence why you see fk all of them around. audis biggest killer is everything is an option. hows this for a "top of the range/flagship car" and options list.

Sports differential: $3000

Sports air suspension: $2200

20-inch alloys with 265/40 tyres: $3000

Adaptive cruise control with stop/go function plus lane and side assist: $9000

19-speaker, 1400W Bang and Olufsen audio system: $14,400

Rear seat entertainment system: $9800

neally all of that is standard on rival cars, for $220k give or take i aint adding options.

lol yeh they add cheap leather and charge you twice as much thas exactly all they add. :rolleyes: so many know it alls

lexus is pretty win. They've taken Toyota's quality manufacturing process and pushed it to another level. There's a reason they're the biggest car company in the world.

Always been thinking about moving to Toyota but got it comfy here at Cadbury haha

    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
    • Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney
    • I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"  
    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
