well the modifications have kinda begun... got myself a new front bar and put some different rims on.

Rims came with the car from Japan, but couldn't switch em until after rego.. not that VicRoads would know, but i thought i'd play by the book...

I think the different front bar is a vast improvement, considering i had a stock one as i sold my Nismo/Altia one to Dale ;)

what ya think? not 100% what to do from here with it....

On a little side note, i believe i am the only person in the entire country to have this front bar :dry:

yep, got my year 1 scissors out and chopped the lip off.

i want to lower it but the front bar has next to no clearance already! :P i need 18's or i need to be SUPER careful...

ylwgtr2 chopped the lip for me... i thought it could be done, so i gave the job to him knowing he could do it ;) which he did :dry: - yeah, whole car is up for a respray... but i don't know if i have the funds really, going to Africa in 2 weeks for a bit over a month...

Front bar is an exact GTR replica, made by East Bear (plastic injected moulded, not Fibreglass) and made to fit straight to the narrower GTT guards...

yeah, troy did mention i should make a copy of the bar... in case of breakage... no cheap ass copies of this around, so would have to get it sent direct from japan... $$$$$$$$$$ -

yeah, unfortunately i think 18's are the only way to solve the height problem...

yes, the bar isn't your $300 unpainted fibreglass dodge copy - i'll just say $1k+, not the sort of thing i want to be destroying any time soon...

hey dan, i'm not sure it troy(ylwgtr2) would want to do this again! you'd have to find someone up ur way how could chop, weld, make it look nice... oh, you need a GTR bracket/support bar thingy too... i'm currently borrowing Troy's ;)

what u reckon i could get for the rims? genunine Advan Model 5's, nice and light... Advan Neova tyres.. 235/255 front/back

EDIT: satanic: yeah pictures are shite... late afternoon, when i install the CS2 suite i have lying around somewhere, i'll try a fix it... you're right, can't quite see all the lines/curves, etc...

ok ok, my photograhy skills suck, i know i know ;) - thaka mate, some help!? :dry:

look at Dezz's avatar...

the bonnet is now the same as a GTR bonnet, the front bar is the same as a GTR front bar... the 2 together..... :P you get the idea..

man, don't make me put a GTR badge in the grille! :yes:

    • 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.
