Na Guys, this our dream machine, Alice and I up graded from a SV6 to a SS, we had to have it repainted of coarse. and just in case, we own it. and wow, has it got some grunt.
I love the one I've got.. 1999 VT Series 2 Calais 5.7L V8... Its got every single thing I or anyone could ever want... (ie. Headlights turn on automatically when it gets dark, windscreen wipers automatically turn on when it detects rain, full electrics, dual zone climate control.. not to mention 300kW of raw V8 power under the right foot.)
However, my dreams for a car are somewhat more sedate than the ones shown here...
I would love..
A Nissan 200SX S15 JDM Edit.
SR20DET, 6spd Manual and $45,000 cash with which to add chassis bracing, roll cage, touch up the diff with a steeper ratio and a full spool, single 3.5" turbo back exhaust system, custom inlet and exhaust manifolds, HKS cam's, GT35/40R turbo, real big clutch, straight cut gears and a dogbox, big front mount intercooler, full new suspension setup, low and firm, and most importantly, willwood 380mm front discs, 290mm rears, 6 piston front callipers, 2 piston rears.. 100km to 0km in under 90m (at 2g's )
Oh, and a racing track with lots and lots tight turns, hairpins and a few long high speed sweepers...
Two words.. Drift - Car!
My last one was a 1996 Nissan 180SX Type-X.. engine/chassis/diff much like what has been outlined above.. It was an absolute dream to drive. enough power to make any rev head (me) happy, strong, stiff suspension, could take 90 degree turns at 90km/h without a worry (on the race track of course) brakes were sensational..
Hehe, it was announced on the news today that Australia has the highest greenhouse gas emissions per capita in the world, and I can see why
That's because more than 75% of the cars on the road are over 10 years old and all our power generation is via coal. Yet, for all that, we produced 0.15% of all emissions. China, India, Russia, Europe and the US have a lot to answer for...more so the US and China.
Coombes modified Jaguar XK140 DHC - about $2,000,000.
Or
Ferrari 250 GTO - about $3.5 squillion
Or
1999 911C4 which I got for less than the price of a loaded Commodore!
Mind you my wife luuuurves the Veyron, so she could be pursuaded...
1980 Lotus Esprit Turbo, in Essex livery, Simmons wheels, retrimmed in Italian leather. Almost do-able, but the Essex is VERY rare, so may have to go for a 1977 non-Turbo.
Awesome H.. Good to see a fellow drift fan on the forums... Someone labelled that video wrong though, that skyline is a 4 door.. they dont make 4 door GT-R's...
Ps. The R34 GT-R is the S15's big brother in cost and cylinders.. on the track I'd take an S series over an R series any day.. much better weight distribution.. they handle much nicer.. My old R32 GT-R was a great car, dont get me wrong, and the RB26DETT is a fantastically strong motor, but they are less than inspiring considering the cost. My 1992 GT-R cost me $29k, My 96 180sx type-x cost me $14k and the S14 180SX was faster around Queensland raceway after similar modifications despite being nearly 100kW less power...
and wow, 
has it got some grunt.
