Hmmm, a big list here:

Audi - RS2 (in co-operation with Porsche, mid 90's); RS4; RS6; A8 and A4 Turbo quattros (especially the Avant). Oh, and the original quattro sport from the old days of when Audi took over rallying. Maybe an allroad quattro in either 2.7V6TT or 4.2V8.

BMW - any M3 (E-30, E-36 or E-46), especially the E-46 CSL; the M5 (E-34, E-39 and the new E-60); the E-34 540i with the 6-speed manual (super-rare and very quick), and any recent or current 3 or 5 in "Mafia-spec" (all black, dark tint and lowered over a big set of wheels - NOT chromies though). Maybe even an X5 4.8is.

Honda - wouldn't mind an Accord Euro or the original DC2 Integra Type R, and would love an S-2000, but that's about it as far as Aussie-spec stuff goes. Maybe a new Odyssey, slammed over 18s.

Suzuki, Kia, Proton, Daewoo, Daihatsu or Hyundia - ummm, I'll pass, thanks!

Mazda - a new 6 or 3 (SP-23) would be nice, and an old school RX-2 or RX-3, or an MX-5SP or RX-8 would be great.

Mitsubishi - any Lancer Evo from gen 5 onwards.

Renault - WilliamsRenault Clio F1; RenaultSport Clio or RenaultSport Megane 225. Oh, and the insane mid-engined V6 Clio.

Volkswagen - the Mark IV Golf R32

Mercedes-Benz - pretty much anything except the SLK with the genuine, factory AMG stamp on it - C36, C32, C43, and the new C55; E55; CLK55; CL55; SL55; and S55.

Subaru - the new Liberty GT and 3.0R-B.

Toyota - any JZX80, 90, 100 or 110 in Tourer V spec; a JZA80 Supra with no rear spoiler and a mild kit, slammed over some nice wheels; an IS200 or 300 (once again, slammed over some nice wheels); GS300 (w/ wheels and lowering); LS400 or 430 (same again); AE-86 hachi-roku, AE-82 twin-cam, AE-92 SX/GTi/FX-GT/GT-Z or ZZE-122 Corolla (with the 2ZZ-FE Celica motor); JZZ-30 Soarer and SW21 MR2 GT turbo.

Lotus - Exige or Elise 111R, and the last of the Esprit turbos and the V8S.

Pagani Zonda.

Koenigsegg.

Lamborghini - the new Gallado.

Maserati - all of the GTs, especially the original 3200GT with the boomerang LED tail-lights.

Ferrari - 308GTS, 328GTS 355 and 360 Modena, and some of the old stuff like the 250 and 275 GTO California Spyders (as seen in Ferris Beuler's Day Off).

Aston Martin - the old James Bond DB5 and DB6, and the current DB9 in all its various guises.

Nissan - well, the Skyline of course (KPGC10, KGC10, FJ20ET DR30, GTS-X or GTS-R R31, any turbo R32, R33 GT-R, any turbo R34, V-35), Stagea RS-FOUR, 350Z, RPS13 180Sx or S15 Silvia, N14 GTi-R, or "Mafia-spec" recent edition Gloria or Cima.

Porsche - maybe it'd be easier if I mention the ones I don't like - no, wait - there aren't any!!!

So many cars (and so many more), so little time/money... :P

Old ones...

Lamborghini Miura

Fezza Dino / 250s

BMW 3.0CSL (no not the E46M3CSL) / E30 M3

Skyline KPG10

Porsche 356 / Speedster

Porsche 930 Turbo - BEAST

Merc 300SL Gullwing

Merc 300SEL 6.3 - the original gangster merc grunt machine

Lancia Delta Integrale EVO

Geez i feel like an old bastard.

Any exotic.

In particular, the new mini lambo (cant spell it)

Any Porka, hell I drove down the coast to see the GT when it was down there. *note they have BIG BIG BIG MOFO breaks!*

Bentlys, I really like them a lot.

Any cefiro, but thats just to see what the others look like.

And finaly anything rare, like say a HSV SV99, that sorta stuff, limited runs of cars.

Two Id like to note tho are I once saw a Audi quatro 5cyl turbo, like the old B class rally ones, but the road going version, I nearly had to pull over. And the flat nose 911 I once saw (rather rare).

Add to that any sleeper, I luuurrrvee the sleepers.

Any 25yo+ car thats either clean & original or heavily worked (esp Toranas, GT's & BMW 3.0CS's)

4.2 or 3.8L Series I Jaguar E-Type's before they became fat & ugly for the US market.

Any BMW with M or Alpina in its title.

Any car where it is obvious that performance is first & everything else is a comprimise such as Lotus 7 replicas, Italian supercars, etc.

Any car that looks reeeal hard to control on boost :D

Have u ever actually seen one on road in Australia though?

I haven't seen one yet but they also have not been here for very long....

I am sure after being at the motorshow that someone with too much money should pick one up....

I think there are a lot more exotics down in melbourne though....

me?

well, an obvious would be a Skyline..LOL

but other notable cars would be:

Datsun 240Z (ghosts from the past, that have been claimed by the sands of time)

Lotus Esprit S4S (yah, the I-4 turbo one)

Lambourghini Diablo or Gallardo (saw my first Gallardo last month)

Ferarri 360 Modena (the red one i saw last year on the street........left me speechless)

NSX (only sometimes though, because i actually see them quite often)

FD RX-7 (actually more rare than the NSX here)

MKIV Supra TT (yah, rare but common now; and riced out after the first F+F movie)

S2000 (i like the car, but see it a bit too much)

SE3P RX-8 (makes me think, "hey, want to race? i wanna show you something." LOL)

    • ...just a note of warning, you shouldn't drive it about with the TCU in limp mode with only 3rd gear available ~ apart from the fact you end up sheering the ATF at the torque converter interface, the high clutch in these isn't especially the strongest, particularly bolted to the RB25DE mill...which is likely a 4AX01 box with lighter duty high clutch (the RB25DET got the bigger high clutch)...be careful out there...
    • Hoping to do similar mods to my RB20 once I get it running and reliable again
    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
