Hi everyone!!

Finally the mods are starting to get fitted, its more exciting than xmas ...just one more sleep :) .

The hi flo turbo and rest of the zorst is being fitted tommorow but something is bugging me, shouldnt i really be upgrading the exhaust manifold too? how restrictive is the stock one? has anyone replaced theres (apart from the hi mount turbo guys) ?

Cheers

PS Wildcat im almost ready for ya :yes:

Hahhahaha :laughing-smiley-014:

:) arrr i see i will have competition soon :) a stocker compared to the mods your getting done im about to see more off your ass :D

stock manifolds are excellent bits of kit, good for 300rwkw i think i read.

No doubt, your stock one will be cracked. They almost all are, thats cast iron for ya.

300Rwkw?? thats impressive, ok so no point spending the extra bux on that then

Cheers

was chasing a quote on the manifold, before i posted ...just had the call back with the quote... $980 + fitting, is this a serious quote?? i could be nieve but this aint a HKS, Greddy etc brand and its a low mount not a hi mount with external wastegate mountings .....so is this a bit steep or what??

.... i told em i would leave it for now cheers for the previous info guys

Cheers

dont need a manifold lee, waste of time, and dont bother with the china rubbish either. a good trust one or something is over $1500 for the manifold plus fitting (for a highmount anyway), so i'd imagine low mount is same price roughly as its still the same amount of runners and flanges. save the cash and stocky will be fine :)

my aircon line is in the way so i couldnt even get the dump pipe past it ... no a tight fit just wouldnt fit ...oh wells i ordered a new one so hopefully tomorrow will be better ...hahaha anyone know someone that wants a dump n front pipe?? ahhah

Cheers

Lee

yeah i know... i argued with the guy over the phone then went to see what his was talking about, we even got the auto electrician to have a look to see if we could move the aircon pipe.

Turned out to be cheaper to just buy a new bell mouth dump pipe, if i hadnt seen it myself i would still be going off at the guy ...but there was no way it was gonna fit ... i was gonna try the force approach till he quickly reminded me i would probably break the line. :P

He did say it was possible part way thru production there way have been a change in the aircon design or manufacturer or of coarse mine may have been replaced/repaired ..who knows but that may have caused the problem.

Hopefully today it will all be done, and i have a spare one if anyone wants one :dry:

Lee

    • 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.
