Here we see the elusive GeeTeeTee trying to grab traction in the wild

:rofl: I even read that in the narrators voice lolz

Faster than a speeding billet, leaps tall culverts in a single bound: look, it's a bird: it's plane: it's SuperMat!!!

(Now that's Sigworthy Mat!)

Tempting :yes:

Car looks nice Peter.

Smoking it up as always Mat.

Haha looks like a couple of tv shows in the making :)

Always ;) I worked out straight line standing starts are not my thing, i better practice cornering instead lol

I guess before I said something about Rego plates I should have put my car on the post , so here it is :unsure:

I will swap for your RED one , it is stunning :wub:

I hate my car atm so its all yours haha

I just noticed you dont seem to have a front or rear diffuser on your GTR does this mean its a non v-spec?

Yes, it is not a V-spec, I asked a couple of times on different posts about this and also asked if I take the logo off , will it stuff the paint up.

Just had one reply so far that said if I use a heat gun/dryer that I should be able to take it off without damage???

I do not want bullsh@t on my car, it was there when I bought it, probably added a few $s for DHs like me, but I did not know any better and if I did would not have cared, just loved the Rs, it will be my last car and I intend to enjoy it :yes:

Next week this car will be around 370KWAW as a daily , it should have much more response and kick in about 3k , the motor has enough internal mods to take it to 800HP with a new fuel system , so I do not think I need to boast by putting a BS logo on the back bumper, sure do LUV it , do I have to take it OFF :blush:

OK I will take it :action-smiley-069: Just love to put it in my lounge room :wub:

I took the front and back diffusers off as they are useless for a DD , cannot get up my driveway :no: I also cannot lie straight in bed :woot:

Will post the new Dyno readouts next week , has to be better than this

Sh@t, just wrote a long post and lost it in cyber space, BUT I said I would have taken any of the Rs, I loved the look, the history of this machine and its ability to be Modified :wub:

I said I would never buy a black car because they are HOT and get DIRTY when you just look at them BUT look like a million $s when clean, do not blink or you will miss the moment :woot:

I think I would like to change the wheels, like the black but I think a little bling looks good down low, any suggestions :action-smiley-069:

Black is a good look and I got to luvit, but I think I would prefer to change the rims but running out of $ so that might be a while , maybe I they will grow on me :yes:

Lowering it, funny you should say that, when I have been driving around 3 or 4 blokes gave me the :thumbsup: but signed me to lower it, now you have got me looking at it again, haha

I asked at the shop when I dropped it in about lowering it and he said it is not far off legal now , is it 100mm to the lowest point? I know it is higher than my 350GT because I can get up my driveway easier in the R34. I think there is a trade off between looks and bad road conditions??

Also, up here the potholes and lumps on the roads can be a pain and the road I like to drive the most is one of the worst , good straights and lots of windy sections but crappy road surface in sections and it changes all the time because they patch it , it rains and stuffed again :rolleyes: I have done 2 tyres on the 350GT on this road, bloody potholes :rant:

I will ask the shop how much can I lower it, the cops up here are pretty hard on some mods especially if they can see them :teehee:

Yes, it is not a V-spec, I asked a couple of times on different posts about this and also asked if I take the logo off , will it stuff the paint up.

yeah not too long on the heat gun just enough to soften up the glue (too much will dmg stuff and potentially warp the plastic if you go crazy)

Lift an edge and peel slowly re applying heat if necessary but probably wont need to.. If you want to be anal and can manage it some fishing wire will help get it off easier too

Will definately look alot better without it as its not a genuine sticker.

I've always wanted a set of diffusers but fark paying insane money for them! Goodluck with the retune, Joey has been telling me about it here and there

Thanks Dave , I will take the heat to it when I get it home next week. Fishing wire, you mean run it under the sticker after I lift the end? Why do they put this BS stuff on, just made me mad when I found out it is fake because I am worried about the paint trying to get it off :blush:

I have only found a couple of RED R3s on the web , one was in East Germany, Your pics were the best :thumbsup: was this a standard colour in the R3 range,only had one red car a TT300ZX , just loved it and a ton of fun :geek:

Joey has been a great help and being able to PM him made it easy for me as I know I have asked some dumb questions, poor Joe, haha. Getting help from you blokes has made it so much easier trying to get the results I am after, I will know if it worked out as expected next week and will post the Dyno results to get your collective input :thumbsup: More important I will tell you how it drives now as that is the test for me :happy:

I have had over 20 cars but never really got into them like this and I am enjoying it. It will probably be my last car, what a way to go out :banana: :banana: :banana:

    • 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.
