Just preparing for the worst, because my car may be sitting for a certain period of time, longer than i like, im assuming months. i want one that can stand most the elements mainly rain and sun, and in combination moisture. a lock is not necessary, easy storage is a plus..

just wanna know if anybody has any leads on a good website?

thanks

I have one of the autotechnica stormguard covers, the ones that come in the red box. Excellent cover, fleecy lined inside so it doesn't scratch the paintwork and fully waterproof. Excellent for when the car has to sleep outside.

I also have the Autotechnica cover, premium one. It works great. Was about $160 from memory?

I think from memory I got a xl or an xxl, it wasn't one of the main ones was only for like 3 cars or something from memory. But I needed the extra length to go over the spoiler and under the front bar of my car. The one that they recommend for the skyline couple was way way to small. get either the next size up or 2 sizes up, whatever they have.

where can i order one thats fitted to the car?

That was my problem, I bought one that was supposed to be fitted to the car but was way to small, the dude in the shop when i took it back said it's probally for standard ones not gtr's. Mine fits over the top of the car very very well and you just tuck the extra length at the front under the bar.

for a fitted cover go to covercraft. they have beautiful car covers. they are model specific too, to your exact model. so they fit perfectly. but quite expensive at around the $400 mark.

The best you can buy at auto shops is probably the Kenco Tyvex car cover. When I bought my first one, it was $150. I think they're around $100 now.

I must warn you though, it will scratch your car. My car is black and had fresh paint. I used to wash it every time before I put the car cover on (I only drove it about once every 1-2 weeks). It put swirlies in the paint (not happy jan).

So I'd rather leave it out to the sun than put a cover on. I've got a garage now anyways.

Your best option is probably one of those carports from supercheap auto for $2-300.

    • 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.
