OMFG that stagea is out of control, i think i just fell in love :D

You are a champion, congrats with putting together such a car, and sticking with it when i know there would have been many times were you would have loved to just give up and walk away.

Glad you are happy with the result, its always good when you put so much hard work into something and you can finally stand back and look at the end result and enjoy it as much as you can becuase you know you made this car what it is.

Congrats to you :(

Simon

thanks everyone for the comments its finally something sorted after sooo long on the drawing boards :)

the tune was done in rwd because im running the autronics ecu and i havent hooked the 4wd up as the last tuner stuffed the wiring and it was wrecking the tps signal to the ecu because they didnt have a clue what they were doing. so i removed the front tailshaft and have been thrashin it around in 2wd for the past few days. its even good in the wet, its like 2 cars in one, makes stuff all power upto 4200rpm or so and then bang its constant wheelspin upto 9000rpm :( the rpm range is huge and with a good power band from 4500rpm-9000rpm makes it awesome for pulling power. it manages 230kmh in 4th gear at 9k rpm (4.3 diff ratios).

i took it out last night in the wet and damn its soo fun ripping donuts on fullboost :D never had sooo much fun in years.

got a busy week or two doing a few changes to the setup now. the stock gtr cooler is going to retire and im getting an Apexi drag cooler 140mm thick :D and im chucking in 2x bosch 044 fuel pumps, twin fuel lines from front to back with a surge tank setup as well. exhuast is currently shocking and only running a 3" dump pipe and a 2.5' rear muffler which is chocking it big time. gonna goto a 4" dump pipe and a 3.5' rear muffler to replace the tiny 2.5' thing.

then the boost is going to a respectable 16-17psi for the time being and then ill drive it for a while and then back for a big big boost tune to see what it can really do :)

heres the last video i got, we turned the lights out to show the flames and glowing manifold after a big thrashing. the video doesnt show all the flames because the camera was too far round the side of the car but it shows a couple and then at the end the manifold after the 5 power runs or so as its glowing like mad :)

the sound at 9000rpm doesnt come up good on the video but ill be sure to take a proper video camera next dyno tune and record the sound in better qaulity as it seriously screams :P

cant wait to surprise some unsuspecting v8 drivers on the streets

i think thats about all at the moment :)

happy veiwing

CCCOOOOLLLL!!!!! :PBJ: Yea man go smoke some holden and ford drivers man,

Nice work brad love the exhaust flames, your hard works really paying off.

Two wheel drive is so much fun, tried to teach the misses how to smoke the wheels yesterday she nearly ran over the dog.

stagea - tailshaft = :wave:

Top stuff Brad,

Very, very impressive! After all that time, effort and investment I don't think my nerves could take the power runs on the dyno, but I guess that's what you built the beast for!!!

Fortune favours the brave, I want to see it down the 1/4 that will be the real deal.

Cheers

Luke

well done champ...would have commented early but havent been able to use the computer since MrGTST has been on it non stop-- :P

well done really on your effort, it really is a beautiful sleeper!! :O

Top effort buddy catch up soon for a looksie ok?? :O

luv wildcat...

p.s--swap ya??? :O

Thanks for the PM Brad, all I can is awsome. That is a fantastic number considering your exhaust set up and the very low boost level. It'll be an absolute animal on your final boost setting.

Have a ball with it mate, you deserve it.

Ken

    • 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.
