Positives:

- Looks awesome to people who appreciate it..

Negatives:

- Incorrectly used, you can smash your front bar onto the pavement!! Not to mention exhausts etc.

- Shitty car handling. I've heard that it makes your car handle like a boat, even when lowered!

- EXPENSIVE!!

- 70% of people (IMO) will think you're a total tool.. :D

Amen.

Hydraulics are definetly not allowed in nsw, Airbags (bags as truckers call them) are ok. I have plenty of mates into the whole truck thing. Also have a mate with a bagged cresida now it is cool it is somethin very different.

Each to there own, where as the handling comment when the bags are right down it handles like a boat but when the bags are full of air it is seriesly stiff.

my 2c worth

yeah, def not in a line eh! bag- snags, it's all wank, im mates wit the guy wit the cressie 2, IT'S PHAT, like ol' grandpa joe stlye and shit... but i have a mate wit a bagged lux, pretty cool, but as i and mate say, it's pretty W.A.N.K. also had a mini- dick show here in port cuppl weeks back, some were pretty sweet, but the majority were just all covered in primer... like jamie said, 2 each there own... Keep it spooln..........

Agree fully brett W.A.N.K factor. But you no the funny thing is most our cars are as low as there's an we aint on bags and we dont have as much bog, im guessing the idea of bog on the trucks is the extra weight will lower it some more im guessin thats there idea anyways. Dont think i dont appreciate a good truck because i do but i just find it hard to understand why most of the trucks are WORK in progress.

They (well most of them) live on a diet of wank and bongs...

should've seen all of them stoned runnin round at the truck show here a cuppla weeks bac... stupid f**ktards... yeah, its not a mini truck wothout bog or the occasion thong to go with it... ha ha... Like i said previously keep spooln!

dont get me wrond, sum trucks are sik! but why waste a turd load of money on somethin that lasts 5 mins but takin 10 mins to wait for the 5 mins again, (air runs out- compressor refilling-3 hours 34 mins later, yay more air)-spose its better than drugs but they still do that!

Hydraulics are definetly not allowed in nsw

that's news to me. I drive a car with hydraulic suspension pretty much every day. my soarer is one of 800 to come equipped with full hydraulics. (no not the usual shithouse soarer airbags). It was complied and registered in this state.

Love airbags n hydro's... both our VIP Celsiors have airbags (factory with aftermarket controllers to allow em to sit an inch off the ground) and the Maxima has hydros...

Hydraulics suck for handling and ride comfort,because its like having no springs at all and dampening is only provided at the midpoint of the height, ie there's no travel in shock absorption at full height and minimum height. They pull the chicks though... apparently. Airbags are much nicer for handling and ride comfort. Get an Air Strut though... they're replacement struts with airbags built in.

    • 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.
