Very nice Rod. For a stock VII, that sits very low. You also have a surround to the exhaust so possibly the previous owner has done a few bits and pieces? If it has been modified and need stock springs, let me know as I have them.

Mine retained the HID's too, they are ace. :)

Yeah I heard you had some troubles?

Although you're the first person I've ever heard having trouble after doing something like deca (ie. autocross)?

In the US, they only seem to break them after track day stuff, and even then, only after 30+ minutes.

There's a 8 MR on the stock gearbox running 9's.

Just watch 4th gear too Lowthy - it's made of glass :\

Yeah - uncle Jeff is investigating with Mitsubishi now. He's as confused as i am...

No teeth, just selector fork - seems heat was a problem. Will let you know more when I know :happy:

Uncle Jeff? Is that techsport?

Very interested in finding out the cause of this... So the gears themselves are ok, it's just the selector forks?

Cheers,

matt

are you guys all having kids or something and need the 4 doors!

seriously though I need a ride in one of these Evo's... I must be missing something, I just don't get excited about them... maybe once I have sampled the cornering goodness I will change my mind.... somone show me the light!

I be interested to know why the WRX boys have defected?

Just back on that gearbox issue...

Listed on the Ralliart website

http://www.ralliart.com.au/RalliartVehicle...nIX.aspx?item=2

the gearbox is listed as "6-speed manual (W5A51)"

I'm pretty sure the jap version gets the "MFA80" seen here

The only reference I can find to W5A51 anywhere is on this place

Nonetheless, interesting you've killed 4th and/or the selector fork.

James - Cool - thanks!

NickR33 - LOL - my Rexy was a 4 door! They're far more practical than a 2dr skyline! :happy:

Re: Rex boys defecting... Hardly... I had a 350rwkw R33 before I had the 05 Rex.. I bought this because it's the best new car at that price range... There's not a whole lot in it b/w the 07 STi and 07 Evo, the Evo (for me) was a more exciting drive.

Anything can be made to go fast in a straight line - it's the stuff between the straights that's the fun part! :glare:

Cheers,

Thanks for the info!

BTW - I wouldn't hold a lot of stock in the info on the mitsubishi aus website - a lot of that info is based on the EVO VIII they sold here previously (including the weight).

Interesting about the torque limit of the gearbox - considering they run over 400nm factory in Japan/NZ!

Cheers,

matt

No worries Matt, by the way, you realise this is dandin (been a while mate).

I think I've seen you a couple of times at St. Kilda Towers, perhaps you can show me this Evo of yours sometime :glare:

Regards that torque limit, I'm sure it's underated. We all know the stock boxes can hold their own, I'm putting my money on driver error :happy::ninja:

Fark - No way!

You still got the GTiR?

Where abouts are you working these days?

LOL - Yeah - James IS a fair hack! :happy:

    • That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.
    • Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.
    • That's convinced me I'll bump up the G30-660 to 770   Any idea if the difference in boost pressure? Cheers

    • Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
