hi guys and gals

One of the biggest question I had prior to buying a Skyline was will we fit with 2 kids? (1yo and 4yo) Searching the Net was impossible for pics ....

Im no bigfoot (only 6ft) and dont really sit up straight whilst driving but as you can clearly see, my little girl and boy has plenty of room :huh:

Here's some pics proving that you can comfortably fit 2 kids in the back of the GTR :laugh: for your Mrs :(

The only whinge I have is that you really need to have enough room to open the door at least half way to get your kids in and out of it. BUT having the GTR outweighs any inconvenience I have at the moment :happy:

cheers

Jeff

ps. boot space is no probs either...Ill post a pic up later after its filled with the weekly groceries

u might have a lil problem with the 32 though as the rear has less room :laugh:

plus u'll have the seat facing the other way for 6mths or so which will definitely not fit

just tell her to sit in the back (behind you) to watch the baby and have the passenger seat all the way up the front....thatll do the trick :huh:

hahah... nice work with the pram and shopping.

We love the boot space of the skyline, it's heaps better than my last car. I've moved out my spare tyre and have a fiberglass sub box sitting in the wheel well, that way i can sorta do stuff like that.

If she complains about the doors then just convince her on a RB26 Stagea

How do you guys go with moving and flipping the seats forward? I find that in my R33 there isn't much room to access the back easily even with the seats fully forward and flipped. It's probably not so hard with the little ones but when you got 2 adults trying to squeeze back in there it can get plain annoying (for them anyway). No problem getting the doggies back there though, although they do prefer to ride shotgun.

R33 has decent boot space. We managed to fit 5 25kg bags of rice (125kg of rice in total) in there.

      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.
