i looked down my driveway and what do i see...a nice stream of green liquid! yayyy new water pump! no car for the weekend...mechanic said $300 to fix it. dam these thing always happen on fridays so u dont have the car all weekend. :)

I would be very happy with it only being $300 to fix.

Its quite a big job replacing the waterpumps on these RB's.

You require coolant... The water pump, there's almost $150 in parts.

Then you have to remove the radiator, all fan belts, harmonic balancer, timing belt, remove the water pump replace it then all those bits go back on again. $300 is a very good price and who ever it is is definitely looking after you. :)

anyone know the legalities of driving on prescription narcotics? :P ie insurance, police/courts, etc

GARRETTURBO.jpg

got a drive in a SRT8 Jeep. Its only slightly slower than the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S. It does a 5.1 0-100, not bad for a 2 tone car :) It's now the fastest car that we sell, Its even faster that the lighter 300C SRT8

When you put your foot down there is no wheel spin it just launches off and get really fast quickly. And it sounds fantastic with its standard 3" twin exhausts

But then again for 85K you can get a fast GTR that doesn't need to be refuelled every few Km's

You tube have a few decent vids of the SRT8 Jeep.

Interesting... They appear to be running High 13's. :S

Unsure if they are stock, sounds stock. Apparently the ecu also limits throttle until a few kays have been pushed up on it.. Not sure how true that is.

lol...

I came across a snip from a bathurst vid I chopped 2years or so ago.

Awesome little clip this... Pure Power down the straight.

    • 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.
