K so im going away for a few days tomorrow and my snowboard wont fit in my car(r32 Coupe). I need the back seat free for a person and front passenger seat free to. It wont fit in the boot or sideways in the back of the car, the only way i managed to fit it was diagonally from roof to floor in the back, which i cant do coz no one will fit. So is there some cheap roof racks to fit these things? That are readily available? How has any one else fit there board in there car? Its about 160 centimetres.

Speak to Roof Carrier Systems in Toorak Rd, Camberwell.

My racks were about $250 brand new - Thule brand - but they always have second hand and rental ones.

BTW - R33 owners: I still have my roof racks from the GT-R. Perfect for snowboards.

Welcome for anyone to borrow if you are heading to the snow. Suit ALL R33 2-doors and leave NO marks on the car.

ahh ok micky as, ill check the rental price on some out, thx

Forgot to mention im on a tight budget, probably cant afford to buy new racks

Edit - Some to fit a r32 coupe, for 3 days hire is $50, pretty good.

I fit 2 snowboards in the back of the GTR... can't remember how now, was in the back, i thought i had them standing up/sliding under the front seat... to the back windscreen (be careful not to wreck your rear demister, i put towels or something soft on the end of the board)....

but maybe i did have to have it diag across the back seat....

hmm Managed to get it stuck in !! The back of it is just off the rear window and the front of it is resting in between the two front seats with enough room to shift (but not much else more) Won't be doing any fast accelerating with in in place though thats for sure, gonna have to jam it in with a heap of crap!

    • 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.
