You can also drop a 350chev in them :P

Hah, a friend of mine at uni had one and they're insanely tough.

Yeah, I used to have one too. First car I ever drove. Taught me everything I need to know about driving (which explains a lot).

I checked the VSI's for modified cars when I had it, and with the car's kerb weight you can legally fit a 5.0L FI engine (Holden 308 twin turbo, anyone?) or a 5.7L NA (350 Chev, LS1, etc). Got sleeper?

And mine was tough too. I drove it hard, and drove it into a few things, and the thing just kept on running. I also once had some guy in an EA Falcon mistake his throttle pedal for his brake and shunt into the back of me. The Falcon's front bar was smashed, radiator mounts broken, cracked headlights.

My Volvo's rear bumper was scuffed and marked with the Falcon's paint, and with a KFC moist towelette I got rid of that.

Last lunatic I knew with a 240 coupe threw a 350 in his and used to drive it all over the place getting whacked on by Sydney traffic for a few years, sick bastard also used to put little flags down the front quarter panel on the drivers side.

They where not for drags won... they where for cars and bikes the damn thing had run into it, killed and kept going :laugh:

About the only thing comparable in 'sedan' toughness I can think of off the top of my head is the old W123 mercedes chassis, those things just keep on going for a half a million miles, hit with clusterbombs, antipersonel mines, sprayed down with 7.62mm rounds and keep on rollin', ride of choice for 3rd world gangstas! :)

You could probably have a beach party and V8 under the hood with one of them!

Silver- colour code aka as 'Battleship Grey'

Burnt Orange- colour code aka as 'Felony Orange'

White- colour code aka as 'Crusader of Mass Justice White'

Cola Brown- colour code aka as 'Bikers Pants Brown'

Red - colour code aka as 'Slaughterhouse Red'

Beige - colour code aka as 'Suburban Ninja Special White'

Black- colour code aka as 'Mall Gangster Black' fairly rare though this one.

Volvo is also latin for "I Roll"

they are heaps expensive for what they are.

ideally I'm just looknig for a shell, but seeing as there aren't any, I'm looking for a car that's cheap as chips so I can tear everything out of it and put my gear in!

not that cheap but you could probably get it cheaper off them without stereo, wheels, etc and then you have a shiny blue paint job to look at

how about a datsun 1600? a mate of mine has one that he would be willing to swap for a set of nismo 740cc injectors for a s15 ($500 from nengun)

    • 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.
