Hey Bris,

Since you seem to know so much baout this car - how does it stack up against say Benno's or Sams?

BTW - Russ - you know about the Nov NSW excursion right? John (UAS) said he spoke to you about it and it would be awesome if you guys can make it down too.

I don tknow that much at all about the car. Liek i said only what i have seen in adverts here and there and years ago when the owner was talking about it on SDU. So dont really know how it compares to Sam or Ben's car.

Though i suspect it would be more Sams car then Bens, because of the weight of the thing...but really who knows?????

I KNOW its quicker then my car :wave:

oh and its faster than mine too! it doesnt go at all at the moment!! ;)

Neither does mine...first my car looked like this...

Then i hit something on the track...

Then a lap later the gods caught up with me when that damn cat told them who did it...

Which up close looked like this...

But JAG33 came dot my rescue...

So after fixing it i thrashed it around for while, was within a second of Snowman around Sandown the one session we did together...then parked it for a paint job which is about done.

I repeat, for the record...Sandown Sprint Session Three. The only time we have been in a Super Sprint together.

Lap 1

Bobo the Snowclown - 1:31.0100

Roy - 1:31.8900

Just warming up.

Lap 2

Bobo the Snowclown - 1:25.8500

Roy - 1:25.5800

Would have gone quicker but 1600kgs of steaming blue sh1t was blocking the track in front of me.

Lap 3

Bobo the Snowclown - 1:23.8200

Roy - Spun at Turn 4, but my Data Logger had me 0.4sec quicker then my best to that corner. I only spun because of the road block's corner speed was so slow that i almost t-boned it mid corner :D

How much power does your car have Bobo? How many times have you driven around Sandown Bobo? ... that was about my 10-11th lap in the dry.... :(

I would stop putting sh1t on my car as the fact that you are not really that much quicker then me in my POS, suggests something about someones ability to drive his finger up a dogs ass :mad:

Perhaps Bobos car is has never recovered from its stage fright either. I should mention my car isnt as pretty as yours either so dont have so many ppl willign to help push it

LOL... i miss all the smack talk on the Autosport site :laugh: Ive got nothing except personal attacks on a bloke who drivers circles around me :O

The top few inches of the guards and doors are painted gunmetal grey to match the stock colour of my car so you could either veeery carefully sand it back or paint the same section to match your car.

Just weighed them, bonnet is about 7kg (stock gtr ~10kg?), doors 17kg ea (stock ~30kg) and guards 1.2kg ea (stock gtr ~2.Xkg). That's with all electrics, hinges, handle, window, motors, speaker etc so i imagine you'd knock off a fair bit with an acrylic window.

you have pm neil

Fire started when the heater hose into the firewall split and sprayed a mist of glycol ethanol over the glowing red exhaust housing/manifold...the stuff is flammable when in a 5% mist with atmosphere, and is preheated above 90 deg C. LOL a few things had to happen for it to ignite, if it happened a lap earlier or on the street it would have been just a coolant leak. It just happens the split was fine and the coolant temp was about 94 when it split.

I now run sheathing on the line to protect it from the heat

Ill ask what the PM is probaby about ;) How much do you want for the doors?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
