Gear-Heads Car Junkies

[Gaffin 7.0]

I'm big into Nissan and Z cars, but was wondering if anyone else is a car nut on here.

Import or Domestic post up what you like or plan on buying, your current build or something.

Ill post some pics of my current 3 cars a little later. I just bought another 93 z32 yesterday and have been in the process of cleaning it up for pics.

Yeah I am a big car nutter, mostly into drag racing.

I am just about finished building my drag car, should hit the track in the next month or so and once sorted will run in the 8sec zone over the 1/4. Open wheeler "Altered" single seater sort of thing. Full chrome moly tube chassis.

Engine I have built is a chev LS1 5.7ltr - about the only thing standard is the block and the crank.. everything else is aftermarket! Should be good for ~670hp @ 7200rpm

1GZ-FE toyota 5L quad cam alloy V12 in 1999 subaru legacy
Built reverse pattern manualised TH400 box. 9.25" IRS from Z33 300zx turbo in subaru subframe.
Vipec V88 computer, twin TD06 20G 8cm huffers.

Enough torque to turn top gear from 1800rpm, and leave two lines leaning on the throttle at 60mph whenever you want. Did 120mph with no timing in it and running fairly rich. Uber fun.

Cute pic of it on the dyno messing about.

I LOVE the way cunts scratch their heads counting all the runners and then do a tripple take at it.

1973 Holden HQ Kingswood ute.
Toyota 1UZ-FE 4L quad cam alloy V8
GT4094R, 50mm turbosmart gate, Haltech PS2000, CAN speedhut dash, CAN wideband and cylinder ports for single cyl trim, and GM flex fuel sensor.
Toyo A340 spragless auto, billet in and out and billet planetary rear housing. Full manual mechanical valvebody and mechanical diode converter.
Ford 31 spline 9" diff with trutrack and about to set up a 4 link in the back.
Going to get all high tech and try and make a working Bex link lateral. Dont think it's ever really been done for a street car.

450hp atw at 1:1 with non lockup converter. Should be good for 130mph and a high 10 quarter with perfect cold start on e85 and all the mod cons.

My man! Good to see another Aussie around :) Location?

Love the Toyota V8's there is a guy in Rockhampton who runs them in Supercharged Outlaws with big roots blowers running 7sec passes with them.

[Buriedpast]

There's a few around. Most known would be joe's Capri in Sydney. Somewhere round 1200hp with a powerglide and twin gt35's. Genuine street driven car a few times a week and has dipped into the 7's or low 8's I think. My thing is more of a toy, nothing serious about it.

No off roaders here? Just Japanese imports is all I see ;/

[Pullyn]

Ive had a bunch of random projects. Anything from a B16 swapped Integra gutted and running a 100 shot, a few DSM's, RB25 swapped S13 240 and now a few Mustangs. The current one ive got is a 2013, full bolt ons, intake, longtubes, etc. Made 400whp with the auto, plan to put a whipple on it some day. Pic below. Also Gaffin, if you are on the gulf and ever need any parts for that fleet of Z's you have go check out F&D in Mobile. Jon and Bob have like 30 Z cars sitting in front of the place with just about any part you would ever need.

I've mostly been into motorcycles since I was a teenager but have been getting into cars as I get older. Bikes are just easy to work on, faster than cars, and a hell of a lot fun to ride. I picked up my '02 WS-6 TA a while back and my father-in-law and me are restoring his numbers matching '67 Firebird. We thought it would be cool for us to have the first and last years of the Firebird. My TA just has the standard bolt-ons. The cars only got 55k on it so I'd like to wait until it gets to 100k or something blows before tearing it down, tinkering with the internals, and swapping the rearend. This pic was from about a month ago. Fun car and definitely a head turner.

nice, they have a website or anything? I most get all my stuff from Z1. sometimes local stuff pops up but not much around here in the panhandle FL

i was honestly wanting to build a fox 5.0 for fun but never got around to doing it.

nice car btw :cool:

I love ws-6's and z28 / SS's some of my fav domestic rides. That gloss black is perfect on it. Nice ride.

I know the thread has Junkie in the title it is probably what led Gaffin to it.

Post what you want! Its a gear-head thread, I just like my imports. Nothing wrong with some domestic or offroad, just not into it anymore myself.

Thats their website. If you look at some of the pics you will see the 20-30 Z cars they have laying around. They also specialize in being able to track down and order lots of hard to get wheels.

I use to be into fast cars myself till I did some trails with a old wrangler. I just picked up a 14 wrangler 2 months and damn I never had so much fun with cars since I started to drive. I find it way more fun to crawl some rocks or do a water crossing then to just rip it on the street. It's way to risky for the car taking it out on the track to really do some technical driving then to just hit up a local wheeling spot for technical trails.

I have just gotten into offroading a little as well. I bought a Toyota Tacoma (3ltr turbo diesel) to actually tow my race car around with, but went offroad abit with some friends recently and loved it. Since then have put a set of 2" lifted struts and springs into the front and have chased down some 32" mud tyres for it. Where I live it is mostly mud or sand for offroading. Probably buy a winch next so I can be self dependent.

Yea a good winch, good MTs and airing down to 15ish PSI can get you anywhere.

Just sold my 08 wrx sti, have a MB c55 AMG now. 5.5L is pretty fun for a lux sedan.

nice which do you like the most?

[citizen1080]

Eh...kinda apples to oranges...boosted to hell awd 4 banger vs 5.5L NA rwd luxury.

the sti was a blast to rally, loud, quick, a insane in the snow. Reminded me of my gsxr performance wise

the c55 is a comfy, quiet, very fast sleeper. Reminds me of my hayabusa performance wise

A 70's Aussie muscle car icon is a jap import now? lol broken.

The only car before my post that wasn't japanese had a LS1 motor and that would make it american :/.

[Exmo]

Building an S54 Z3 M Coupe right now.

It's getting a Precision CEA 7276 turbo and all the supporting mods to make 1000+ at the rear wheels. Already reinforced the whole sub frame, upgraded the suspension, custom intake and exhaust manifolds etc.

[Raavak]

Stock Mustang GT 5.0
Love the torque. I can't wait to get it out of winter storage.

Was my first car... I just got upset when I saw this pic. I wish I bought it out at the end of the lease. Some lucky mofo picked up my 02 ws6 with like 12k miles in 2005 when I turned it in.

I still have the front license plate cover. :cool:

[Gaffin 7.0]

Finally had some time today to clean up the new project car, whoever owned it seriously never washed it, like in a year or longer. It had sap, grime, in every possible spot, layers of it. Ended up cleaning for about 8 hrs today. Will be going into some motor work next week and cleaning up the engine bay. Plan on just going with a nice exhaust and intake with 1 piece driveshaft along with some wheels.

This ones going to be my daily driver though so nothing crazy.

2010 Mitsubishi EVO X GSR.

Full Race twin scroll T4 turbo kit with a Borg Warner EFR 7670 turbo.

Puts down around 500awhp, goes low-mid 11's, traps 124's
(Not bad for just upgrading the turbo & few supporting mods)

One day I will get bored of it, or go balls out and build the engine.
For now it's my daily driver.

You probably used the money you scammed and went to prison for to purchase a car. Once a low life....forever a low life
