I was joined in 2003 by the user name of @(*_*)@ and same as nissansilvia.com., then one day I updated my email and all the password, but I totally forgot about it, therefore I couldn't login and I'm using this user name now. Anyway, I've owned my R32 for at least 6 years now, and I also find most the guys I knew back in the day are no longer here, may be Maxx is the only one I know. Sometimes when I checked my old topic, I found out all the people have updated their photos and informations too, everythings really changed from the last few years. :laugh:

Man I miss the good ol days when at least one of my GTRs was always working.

Sold my R33 GTSt back in 2000, & in April of 2000 bought my 95 R33 GTR with

only 13000km from Prestige Walkerville. Raced at the first Drag Combat in May 2002

when the HKS race GTR was there. I was pulling 10.7 back then. Last time I raced the car was

April 2003 with 9.45. Almost 4 years ago!!! Is nearly ready for the haul interstate to

have another go.

The 97 GTR I bought from Douglas Dinan back in 03 when I had the R34 Vspec is

almost back on the road as well after another engine problem (hope this is the last time)

Keen to hit the hills soon.post-538-1168602298.jpg

We have changed our plans slightly, originally we were only going to run methanol & slicks & shoot for the outright time records, but due to the lack of track here (& a new baby in our lives), the amount of times I can travel interstate to test the car will be limited.

So, the car is currently having a huge water to air intercooler fitted where that polished intake pipe is now, & we are going to tune the car on petrol (the good stuff of course) & run on Radial tyres.

As the car has standard body, no chassis mods, still uses normal gearbox(not air shifted), & normal clutch(not slider), the car can run in Street AWD class at Sports Compact meetings. Petrol & radial tyres compulsary.

It will take time, & there are many variables (time, money, breakages, luck, etc), but the goal is to run the GTR to 8.50 @ 165+ mph on radial tyres. If we can do it, that will be the world record.

Private testing at Heathcote is the next step. Hopefully that will be happening over the next month or so.post-538-1168734329.jpg

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
