haha,

I forgot 3" exhaust

How hard are these things to remove

Gauges I can take off myself, do you need to remove the associated cabling aswell to pass regency?

Blow off valve and exhaust I will have to get removed at a shop, and replaced with stock

Suspension? can I simply have it raised or do I need to remove adjustable shocks and replace with stock?

3" Exhaust..

Get a coke can and chop it up to the flange shape. Then drill a few large holes in the sucker. Silicon it all up place it behind the cat. Wait for it to dry then run a bit of grease and oil in to it and get it hot to make it look a little aged. >_<

all depends what sort of suspension you have, if they are adjustable platform coilovers then you can wind them up but still have the risk of them not going through becauase coilovers are illegal, however when my 33 came over from japland my coilovers went through ok.

most of them time, if your guages are below the dash line then theyll be ok, keep tread on your rears, not too low, not too loud, dont be stupid on the road and they'll be ok about it

If this is you Mick, give me a holla and i'll give you a run down. And if you have bought a skyline, fly around sometime -> doing the speed limit that is :)

btw..has it got a defect, or you just asking? as most have written, most likely everything, and depending on how they're feeling at regency

Plum back bov is a std piece of equipment and must be in along with all piping and recirc. hoses...

Aftermarket bov's are not allowed.

The same as what I was told... The afm to turbo pipe, cross over pipe, the std bov and its pipework cannot be touched. FMIC is allowed providing there's no cutting of the body and it doesn't hang lower than 100mm.

    • 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.
