Interesting brakelights there... Symon, are you kidding!! Goodness, please make sure to post pictures for us to gawk at when you get her!

I reckon your best bet is to ring up Qantas or another airline, I'm sure they'd be able to help?

That's a nice wheel!! Looks very similar to THIS: http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/?/au/stock/details.asp?StockID=2057

hi mate, I *think* it is most likely because the internals need some lubrication, from what I've heard about slow-running clocks in Z's... anybody else have any possibilities?

awesome, post some pics up of your new parts when you get the chance please!!!

Nope, one place I'd really love to visit though.... I bet you'll have an awesome time when you go, and not just because of the cool cars!!

Here are three! http://www.spiritgarage.com/ http://www.rsstart.com/ http://www.seikoh.co.jp/bikou/

Welcome to the club!! Funny, I live in Ashmore! I'd love to check it out one day, although dont get too excited about getting some contacts off me, I've only owned mine for a little over a year and part sources aren't exactly thick on the ground... Good luck with the project!!!

The page is here now Ben: http://www.c-red.com.au/stock/kgc10/index.shtml

No, only the GT-R had the S20... KPGC10.

Delta, I couldn't be more shocked to hear this news... honestly, and you've heard it before by others in this thread, he was one of the very best people here on this forum. So positive about everything, he will be missed so much by all... Please surround yourself now with good people, not those on that other internet topic. Bless you and the rest of James' family and friends.

Awesome! Can't wait to see how he goes with it...

This topic sounds a lot like a topic I wrote an essay on last semester... that is, when is a human bestowed with his/her human rights? Of course, to answer that we must first determine when a human 'begins' (struggling to find an appropriate word here). That is, at conception? Embryo? Foetus? Basic Senses? Birth? Of course, this topic isn't quite the same, but I find it amusing that we're talking about our "babies" with such passion... Basically, I think to determine a point in time when a car becomes a car (optimistic, eh?) the first step could be to list all of the options. So I'll try: - When the bare shell is complete - When the VIN is stamped on - When the engine is placed in the car, and the VIN tag is attached (with VIN and engine number) - When the car is complete (at the end of the production line) - When the car has been OK'ed for quality control - When the car arrives in the country it is to be sold in - When the car is sold. What do you think of this idea? Any additions? Or am I just talking crap?? (Of course, I'm ignoring the fact that many of these stages can't be determined, but this is a philosophical discussion. And since when was philosophy practical )

If it's the same as the one in the 240K/Skyline (flat back, no pins), you might be able to just pop it out with a knife or flat-head screwdriver. Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for broken badges!!

Hiya My glovebox light used to have a mind of its own (came on sometimes, other times didnt), but now it doesnt seem to come on ever. I guess it's a simple job of cleaning the metal surfaces, but getting to those surfaces is another story. Is there any 'proper' way to dissemble it? Has anyone done this before? Here's a picture, although it's absolutely shocking... might give you an idea.

Yeah, I know. That was the whole point of the facelifted 996. My point is I think they were on a good thing with the introduction of non-circular headlights, this new 997 is way too 'safe'. Porsche seems to be increasingly driven by profit over passion. Although.. new 911 models were never really revolutionary. I guess this is just natural progression. It's frustrating though! I certainly hope not :( Seems like thats the way it'll be though doesnt it

In my opinion it's a step backwards.. the awkwardly proportioned front looks like it was designed in 1998 and the rear is ALMOST brilliant, but just doesn't get there. The interior now resembles a Toyota, at least, in grey it does. I'll wait for the 998 before purchasing.

That link doesnt work for me so I'll post this from yesterday: Embargo: May 11th 2004 New Porsche 911 Revealed Latest generation of design classic on sale in September Porsche today releases first pictures of its new 911 model. On sale in the UK from September 18th, this latest generation (Type 997) builds on the proven strengths of the 911 model line to move the evolution of the iconic sports coupe on another stage. The established design cues that have made the Porsche 911 recognisable the world over are given new energy, and further changes under the skin provide increased efficiency, more safety and greater levels of driving enjoyment. Two new 911 models will be launched simultaneously: the 911 Carrera with a 239 kW (325 bhp), 3.6 litre six cylinder ‘boxer’ engine, and the 911 Carrera S, powered by a newly-developed 3.8 litre engine, which delivers 261 kW (355 bhp). With torque output of 400 Nm (295 lb ft), the S model accelerates from zero to 100 kph (0-62 mph) in 4.8 seconds. The Carrera achieves this in exactly five seconds. Top speeds for the Carrera and Carrera S are 177 mph (285 kph) and 182 mph (293 kph) respectively. The new 911 models will be launched across continental Europe on July 17th and will go on sale throughout the UK from September 18th. The car will make its world Motor Show debut at the Paris Salon in September. Both 911 models have a newly-developed six-speed manual gearbox and revised chassis dynamics, which includes active suspension, called "Porsche Active Suspension Management" (PASM). In the "normal" position, PASM provides a sporty and comfortable balance to the suspension; engaging the "sport" function, however, makes the suspension firmer providing enhanced agility for enthusiastic drivers. PASM is fitted as standard on the S model and available as an option on the Carrera. A further option for both models is a sports suspension package, which lowers the body by 20 mm, offered in combination with a mechanical limited-slip differential. The specification of the wheels and tyres fitted to the Porsche 911 has also evolved: the 911 Carrera now has, as standard, 8J x 18 wheels with 235/40 ZR 18 tyres at the front and 10J x 18 wheels with 265/40 ZR 18 tyres at the rear. For the first time, 19 inch diameter wheels are available on the Porsche 911 and the Carrera S is equipped with 8J x 19 wheels with 235/35 ZR 19 tyres (front) and 11J x 19 wheels with 295/30 ZR 19 tyres (rear). The design of the latest Porsche 911 is a logical continuation of the 911 story, now in its 41st year. The result of the new exterior design – including a wider track and more emphasis on the waist – is a 911 which is even more dynamic, clear, powerful and, at the same time, elegant. Other features of the evolutionary design are new circular headlamps, more prominent bumpers and wheelarches, dual-arm exterior mirrors, altered seam characteristics and a more aerodynamic rear spoiler. The price for the new Porsche 911 Carrera is £58,380 (including VAT) and £65,000 for the 911 Carrera S. Both models offer Porsche Stability Management (PSM) fitted as standard. These prices also include UK specification feature content including full leather interior trim and graduated tinted windscreen. The new Porsche 911 will not be shown at The Sunday Times Motor Show Live at the Birmingham NEC in May. ------------------------------ http://www.flat-6.net/view.php?model=997&sel=997%20Carrera&tab=oview http://speed.supercars.net/boardpics/2004-4-10/2270444-Hyundai%20Driverd.jpg http://speed.supercars.net/boardpics/2004-4-10/2270553-Pendulumd.jpg
