Pretty sure they will stick out too far on an R32. Offset might need to be +22 to fit 10.5's on an R32

Yes...it was a great concert.

Fantastic 60'! And well done on the ET. That 60 is better than any other radialled GTR in Aus.

...And I have a pair of Z32 wheels here that i can't use ECR, what does Rocket charge for the 255/50/16's?

Why didn't you call, Novak? You have my number... Andrew, big man, yes still have some nice gear for sale that unfortunately I need to sell to keep my expensive drag habit going.

Well said, starionturbo BTW, most widebodies from Japan are in very good original condition as they are rare over there (just over 850 made). Also, since only pre-1989 cars can be imported, there are only about 300 of them that were made in 1988. Don't give up so easily Dean, there are a few good examples around and you may have to look at a few cars before you find the right one, just like you would with any other car. Like any car of its vintage, it will have its faults and problems - the aim is to find one that has the least problems and the right specs to suit your budget and objectives. keep an eye on the for sale section of austarion.com and I am sure you will find one that suits your needs.

I got rid off my twin Blitz BOV's before I even fitted them. I prefer BOV-lessness. 1 goes to vacuum 2 goes to boost 3 can either return to turbo inlet or remain to atmo 4+5 go to cooler and plenum with silicon hoses

The Mitsubishi G63B 2L SOHC engine in the Starion uses a throttlebody injection set up that consists of two injectors mounted inside a petrol chamber. This is fed fuel which fills the chamber and the two injectors then inject and spray the fuel into the head. Its an "electronic carbie" and is not ideal, with a few problems that develop over time. It can still be used effectively, especially if you do not want to go to the expense of multi point injection (MPI) as this means that an aftermarket ECU needs to be fitted to control the fuelling of the MPI's 4 injectors. The two bolt on options for MPI are a 1987-95 Mistsu L300/Starwagon 2.4L G64B intake manifold which doesnt require any mods, or a Hyundai Sonata MPI manifold, which requires a few mods to work as it will face the firewall. Most who do these mods usually also add an intercooler at the same time to amalgamate efficient cost savings in manufacturing the piping and also tuning in the one go. Having said this, going to MPI is not necessary, but most people do it as both a power upgrade and also as a means of getting rid of the troublesome fatory ECI. Which car are you buying, Dean?

I agree, for $3K, you won't get much. However, if you look around enough, you can find ones that have had alot of $$ spent on them to rectify the old "eci" issues with MPI and ECU upgrades. Ie, find someone who has already doen the hahrd work and buy theirs

Yeah, that would have been me as I used to drive it daily to work down south.

Dean, www.austarion.com has plenty of info about Starions with a healthy forum. I agree that Starions do have their pitfalls (as do most cars of that era). However, with the right advice, these can be overcome and not necesarily be too costly. As with most manfacturers new parts are expensive, but good used parts can still be found if you shop smart. Alot of the electrical/efi issues can be repaired/relaced by going to the MPI + aftermarket ecu set up which replaces the throttlebody + two injector factory "electronic carby". I can recommend a good mechanic or two in Vic who know Starions inside out and whole also have one or two clean examples for sale. Btw, this is my rare JDM widebody Starion:

In for view. I haven't been to WSID for a while.

There were a number of drivers that decided to act recklessly as they were leaving. The light blue R33 started it all by doing a burnout on the new concrete pathway, only to reach thegate to find it locked with nowhere for him or anyone else to go. When asked if he did a burnout, he denied it, with his passenger claiming that it was one of the cars beind them.They had no response when they were told that it was caught on film Anyway, enough of the negatives.One positive from this is that we can learn from this event to make the next one bigger and better. Well done to all that participated

I only took onne pic today of my favourite car. Unfortunaely, it doesn't show the fantastic Midnight Purple II paintwork:

It was an excellent day today. Thanks to Adam, Vic and all the guys and girls who helped out both today and in the months preceding the event. Some very nice cars came out today with a very positve response from many onlookers. Congrats and thanks again to all who participated today.

that's tops

You can take the whole week off

I'm working the BBQ and helping set up ....so should be interesting

I went passed again today and the ground's looking good. Spoke to one of the workers there and he seems to agree that it will be fine by Sunday as long as it doesn't rain.

It's a shame hearing that BD4s has closed down after more than 16 years in the (import) car scene. Anyone know what "BD4s" stands for?

I just went past there and the ground is still surprisingly firm and not soggy and muddy as I expected.

Try Craft Differentials in Granville. They have rebuilt them before.
