Apparently? Thats what he told me. Car has rev limiter set to 3000RPM at the moment, till car gets re-tuned here on (sh*t) Mount Isa fuel and different sea levels/air temps ect...... Owner flew in guy from Brisbane to tune his Skyline GTR last year and he will do the same for this one. Car arrived here from Melbourne only 2 days ago.
I won the "Best European" car at this years car show. Thats two out of two. The display I had is the same from last year, but I added some small Ferrari flags on each corner post this year. I was going to get some red and yellow Ferrari balloons made to hand out to the kids on the day, but they never got back to me in time, so didnt happen. Always next year. I actually didnt see ANY balloons there at all for the kids!! I also want to get put some Ferrari goody bags together, loaded with Ferrari caps, posters, toys ect......so I can hand out to the kids at next years car show. If anyone can put me onto some plastic Ferrari bags or posters for next year, that would be much appreciated. FORZA FERRARI!!!

they must be doing something wrong if they bolt turbos on the car and it only does a 12-13 quarter mile ...i think they need to do a bit more work(tuning)...my mate has a xr8 with 2 turbos (1 each bank ) the thing is scary fast ....anyway pap man good to see you won again .....
Nice pics Pap some nice cars.. About the TT Monaro is he strugling to put power down? from what I heard the track up there aint that good?
mmm....34GTR in blue, delightful. was a couple at sandown today for dutton, they go like stink and look very tough. well and truly at home on the track. hopefully it was a minor issue thats easy to rectify, if not, thats downright embarassing...given a stock monaro with an edit and a few tweaks will do high 12s all day long...
jap cars + massive dollar modifications = very cheap car for the NEXT owner absolute money pits. The 348 looks awesome re vlaka....wheres my showbag!?
Tell me about it man!! I think these twits would NOT have a clue as to whats going on!!! Thanks mate. Was a fun day!
The Townsville track is ok as they have spent A LOT of cash on there as of late. Car just aint performing man. This pactiular GTR runs 11.7 in Townsville. He fitted a new T88 turbo last week before he drove car back here from Townsville and ran a 10.7 pass!! He lives here, but leaves his GTR in Townsville for drag racing and 'King Of The Hill' events. Tell me about re!! They started this car today at the show...........to show everyone what a 'high HP drag racing car' sounds like. 1st time I have heard the car and it sounded like a stock Gen 3! Crap!! I should have started my Ferrari and I would have put on a better display!! Yep, like my mates R33 widebody he bought last year. Around $120K spent (with receits) and he picked it up for $44K. This car was had for even less. Thanks man. Hopefully showbags next year for the kiddies......... Ok ok ok, you can have one too, ya big kid! ............
I'm surprised you're the only one with a Ferrari up there as it seems people are just pissing money into the wind on modded cars when they could pick up something similar to your 348, to each their own i guess
Man!! Im small time!! 348 povo pack!! I just have a HUGE love for Ferraris!! Always have and I always will. There are a lot of wealthy people here that can easily afford to buy 308, 328, 348 and even 355's. Some of the big players could easily swing 360, 430 and even 599's. My friend who owns that GTR, 180SX, Supra and also has a fully restored/rebuilt 85 VK Commodore could easily afford a 355 he told me. When I told him WHY he doesnt sell all his Jap cars off to buy one then..............he replied bang for ya buck, you cannot beat Jap cars. He has driven my 348 a few times and he really likes it, but he would rather have a few fast cars, than one fast Ferrari her reckons. The guy who owns the Cobra and that 23 Ford t-bucket being built would have invested around $200K in those 2 cars. He owns big dollar F-250, new L/C trayback, some old Aussie Fords and a lot of Harleys ect...... He could get a 430 I reckon. Lots of cash here in the Mines man and EVERYONE loves my Ferrari, but they are just scared to pull the trigger I think. A Ferrari is a lot of money tied up in one car, but who cares right? You only live once!! I LOVE my car and I wont be selling it anytime soon!
good i want a copy of forza, a wallet-sized pic of pap, and some kalamata olives. thats my kinda show bag
Speaking of which............has anyone ever heard of Reynold Mackay? I saw him today at the show. He approached me and asked if it was I who owned the 348TB? I replied, how did you guess, as I was wearing my Ferrari cap of course. Anywho, he was suprised to see a Ferrari out here!! He lives in Newcastle and is part of the FCA, NSW. He owns a red 355 and yellow 360. Always drives them to Sydney on weekends to cruise around. Was a nice guy and it was great to talk Ferraris for once at a car show, rather than Fords and Holdens as per usual. Anyone on here know him?
Amazing Pap, This thread started with drunken ass girls and you're coming up to page 200. Covered just about every subject. congrats ! I start here every time. lot of laughs
its a good question...if you up in the isa can come up with 100 pages of content, us city folk could pull 400 + surely!
Oh What the hell,..... It's my 200th post and I guess I'll try and get it in the 200th page. I guess that's how we get the numbers.. up Is that what they mean when you've lost the thread ?
Great pics Pap! Love the Elfin (I know that surprises you ) - not sure that its an ideal car for the roads up there though!
