I have seen it buzzing around a fair bit. It does sound like it moves when he boots it. I personally havent heard any problems about it. Alot of rumours around about how much power the thing actually makes, I got no idea on the facts so I won't say anything. It's neat though, only fault I could pick from a distance looking at it is that it's never had similar wheels (even in the photo in the paper they are odd) but if you're going to drift it then it wouldn't matter. Go check it out and let us know what ya think of it!

went and checked out car, not bad minor things needing doing, depends how much of a perfectionist you are, will be an alright buy for someone who wants some fun. there was just a few things i didnt like. if he wants the $15,000 for the car id suggest cleaning the engine bay n spraying the rocker.

thats interesting as im yet to see a cheaper r32 with an rb25. when you take a 10,000 r32 and put in a 5,000 r33 engine and g box plus the few thousand worth of engine mods than 15,000 doesnt sound to bat to me especialy when it is here in tassy with fresh rego and new tyres.

oh and im pretty sure the wheels are the same just the rears have dish.

if you want any specs of what it does have than feel free to ask me.

i actually asked around about the car and heard a few things and yeah it costs money to do the conversion but if you look at how much the car still needs spent on it is it worth it.

you are going to get that with any car you buy. lots of things to tidy up and change to suit you. like has been said befor the value for money realy is there and it doesnt cost much to tidy things up once you have a car compared to starting from scatch.

the engine has 85,000kms on it the chassis has 185,000 on it all the things are minor that need doing yes but changing most of the bushes and cleaning stuff up does cost money, im not saying its a bad car unless what ive been told is true but i wouldnt pay that much for the car and i did see it when it was for sale in Vic so i knoe how much they were asking for it, i also dont like the fact that it uses the microtech which has no afm but thats my personal oppinion, thats all i have to say on the car n i wish him luck with the sale

well in 2 years time he'll have some fun then. plenty of time for mates to drive it. thats all right though long as hes happy it all comes down to personal oppinion and he has plenty of time to work on the car now anyway. even if he has problems its still a skyline and not a crappy (insert car make of your choice)

      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.
