Welcome to the AMG club.........Thats a mean looking machine.

That pipe is going to sound good, will have to put a louder one on my 6.2L so I can still hear my engine!

when are you getting a G wagen munro??

Nah, Im happy with my E63 AMG.

Besides, I've got a new metallic black Land Drover Discovery 4 on 20s for towing duties. Martin just tuned it to around 640nm.

Seb has pretty much bought the craziest 4WD money can buy....................its going to look sick down Rundle St.

Dare you to get some mud on it.

congrats on the g

i drove one last month (non-amg), along with a few other 4wds, but all were a bit too ott for me - i bought and sold an RR Vogue Supercharged within a few weeks because the body roll was really unnerving and had this weird driving position where i felt i was sliding forward out of the seat when braking and turning

i ended up going with a 12 FJ, surprisingly little body roll, and this way i wont be too upset when i hit the rocks and come away with bruises - first time doing the whole off -road thing

Not sure if there are too many advantages to be had with a larger plenum domino

The jury is still out on that one with VR38. There are companies making them, but look for some hard data :)

(GTR manifold is a pretty nice thing out the box)

Words simply cannot be used to express how great this is!

I got goosebumps when I saw that pic above ^ in the engine bay, looks stock!

I dont think theres anything on the roads that will be able to match or come close to it!

reliability is on our side

Sam, agreed. From what I've seen on YouTube and US boards the Lambos are geared for 100-200 MPH runs etc whereas R3s are pretty much good at everything you could conceivably want from a street car: drag, circuit, street. Personally I am not interested in the flying mile type of events.

What intrigues me is the G6 tranny. I've never had a car with two pedals ...

Building the rest of the cars support systems around the engine at the moment Mark - god only knows you must know the feeling! :)

Carrying out centre exit exhaust system, twin mount rear vent coolers (trans/rear diff), secondary front mount oil cooler

Triple pump fuel system, all new lines, transmission bracing, front differential bracing, the list goes on.

Turning the key on it and tuning it should be the simplest part of the equation.

    • Definitely didn't put a N/A cluster in instead? The speed sensor (location) is different in both cars.... I think. This will obviously stuff things up.
    • Nah not the throwout bearing, it's something internal. I already replaced the throwout bearing. Mechanic misdiagnosed my car and thought it was a spigot bearing, went to another bloke who said it was an input shaft bearing. (I replaced everything when I pulled out the gearbox but didn't open up the gearbox.   In this video at timestamp 6:05 : Mine has the same sound  min
    • It is definitely to space it out and away for clearance during compression, and possibly for spring clearance to upper arm. That latter would only be true for springs that are same-ish diameter to stockers, and so that probably doesn't apply to Teins or most other coilovers.
    • Yeah, a mechanic who knows these cars told me even if I get a brand new gearbox the noise will return but will be less noticeable. I've heard someone also they this noise came back after 3,000km on a new or reconditioned gearbox. It is pretty f**king annoying though just hearing groaning most of the time lol. I wonder if an aftermarket input shaft bearing would fix the problem or how they are built.
    • All RB gearbags, especially the big turbo box, have rollover noise. Mine certainly does. Always has. Sometimes is worse than others - no particular idea why, although it is probably temperature related. I have smurf jizz in mine and have had to have it in there from the first day the box went into teh car. It simply would not select gears with the engine on, on day one, with normal oil in there. And so, the blue stuff has probably ruined almost everything synchro related in the box. But it has taken 12 or 13 years to get to the point where I simply must replace the box. It has become increasingly baulky of late, which might be symptomatic of the way I've been driving it, as much as anything. I shall have to make some corrections when teh new box goes in. Input shaft bearing noise will decrease with clutch pedal pressed because the drive is removed. But yes, more often than not noises that work like that are associated with the throwout. It won't matter either way, new box will mean this one can be relegated to the parts pile.
