Australian IS-F Owner
Howdy All,
I just picked up my brand new IS-F last night and I love it. Its Flame Blue with Alpine Leather. The Australian spec is a little under what the US gets. No TPMS, No HD Satellite radio and no dinky anti collision stuff. They generally mess with the spec here to make them cheaper than the equivalent BMW.
I come from a heavily modified car background (11 second R33 GT-Rs, 501rwhp Silvias etc) so its not going to stay stock for long, its going on the dyno this morning for a baseline then its game on.
I've been lurking around here for a while with my IS200/Altezza and GS300 builds so I promise I'll be good and search before I ask anything.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Yes its Ultrasonic Blue.
Every step of the process is going to be documented. I'm lucky to have a Dyno Dynamics in house along with 3 mechanics so I'm very lucky in that regard.
CL really appeals to me as everyone seems to be a bit more mature than the other forums...

Josh - No need for pics just yet, nothing much to show apart from the steering wheel on the right side...
Had it on the dyno tonight. 332rwhp in Shootout 8 mode, which locks all the variables so they cant be fudged. Its got a little way to loosen up as its only done 220km.

Thanks for the nice welcome guys. I've currently got everything Seibon make in Carbon on the way for it, as well as some 20" Enkei LF-10s and I've ordered a full catback from Borla, but they are out of stock for 3 weeks.
I've done the flap mod, but I'd like it to be a little louder when I'm up it hard. Any suggestions for the throatiest inlet setup?
Jeff
PS - I don't have any decent pics of my other cars at home, will pop some up next week.

Guys,
Finally took some pics of the F in its standard form:
And one of the GT-R from a rally a couple of months ago:
Wheels are here and getting fitted up, carbon is just clearing customs...
