Finally got my right and left rotors for the rear on Monday and as luck would have it I had an early day care of the wet conditions so I got to fit them today. So now I have the dba 4000 series slotted rotors front and rear. Very cool. I have put the bendix ultimates front and rear as I said before I was running out of money so they were a cheaper option. No performance complaints yet, but then I have been bedding them in so no real chance to test them out. But I will say they are the dustiest pad by far that I have ever used. Not happy about that.

im not sure how far that is from you, but on wednesday me and a mate went to noosa, we filled the tank up at yatala, and got there, drove around a little, and back to my house at tweed heads without needing more fuel... about 550kms i think... thats before fuel light came on

hey all just thought i make a start, i dont think ill ever be finished with my car. I got my r33 gts NA last august and it came bog stock with a HKS Super Drager Exaust and slightly lowered. The next thing to do wwas put the stereo in out of my old car. I then purchased some 17 inch chromies about a month later. Soon after that in went the subs with a basic but still custom install. As i save a bit more money i got both doors and all quarter panels resprayed. Then we were renovating the house and the front gate fell on it putting a hole in the front left quarter panel and bonnet. So back to the panel beaters it went. I soon installed some neons and other interior stuff like EL guages momo wheel and knob.

A little closer to the end of last year mum backed into it so back to the panel beaters again for a front bumper respray and GTR style front grille. I then got my licence in January, only to re end someone 3 days later as some **** WIT cut her off but oh well, if u run up someones arse its ur falt end of story :). I then got a boot lip style spoiler. In the last month i have completely re made my boot, which is now no longer a boot. I got it back today from the body shop with a brand new kit and some extractors and an Apexi S-AFC ii is going on in the next 2 weeks. I now have to save very hard to do a 5 stud hub conversion and put some 18's or 19's on it as the kit makes my 17's look like golf buggy wheels.

    • 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.
