CHEERS MATE! :ninja:

i got mine done by the same guy who does exhausts. only charged $200 to install exhaust and fmic. im sure there are guys in the area who can do it for ya like ppl said its basically 2 pipes and a plate in the middle. if you buy a kit you can't really go wrong. i'm like you thou im more than confident ill screw something over so i had it done properly. if i gave it a go i would end up with a missing eye or something :ninja:

Try giving Unique Automotive a call, they are in Villawood (not to be confused with Unique Autosports at Castle hill).

They deal with installs and repairs for japanese imports and are really cheap and the guy that runs it is very experienced and not stuck up.

I didnt get my fmic installed there but they do it. I got my boost gauge and boost controller done properly, he even hooked up the lights for the gauge.

262 Miller Rd Villawood 2163

Oh and try Bel Garage too in Regents Park

19 Clapham Road

Regents Park

(02) 9645 6608

Dont pay more than $200 to get it done, if you can get it done properly by someone else its more than worth it

bel garage is a shit hole. a mate took his 200 there to get a power FC put in nad they fried the computer because they let some apprentice install it. not only that they give shit advice on what mods to do on ur car.

fit the front mount yourself, make a day of it. its frustrating and fun at the same time. when you have finished stand back and admire your great work

thanks for the info bud, think i might pass on Bel Garage... heard bad things about them too...

But I think I'll be having a go at it my self. :D

reallly it isnt that hard, it will just take a while if you dont have the right tools to cut a hole. also trial fitting the front bar to cut where ti touches(take your time on this and do it right)

    • 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.
