right..some of you guys are complete wankers but anyway theres always got to be a couple of keyboard warriors around...

After searching for a decent example and looking over maybe 15-20 lines in the last 2 months or there about i have found the one of me. Heres the link for it.

I got Ray and Pete over at RE Customs to have a look it and all was well. The car has a compression result of 155 across all 6 and Pete says there is no evidence on the chassis that the car has been in an accident. I took it to my local panel beater for an inspection and he couldnt find a spot where the panels didnt line up or where the paint looked dull because of dodgy work - more important he didnt find a spot of rust or bog. The car is basically in really good condition. I have over shot my budget a bit however as i planned to keep a couple of grand for a few mods straight away but thats not a real problem as ive got something which is going to last.

The car goes into Vicroads on tuesday for an inspection as ill be the first owner in Australia. All up including stampduty number plates booking fees etc it ended up $17220

There were plenty of other series 2's for under the 15k mark but many had been in accidents or didnt have good compression results.

Free plug to Ray & Peter at Re Customs and to Robert at Sabbadin Automotive who gave me great honest feed back.

Its got

3 1/2 inch turbo back exhaust

A pod and a BOV

soooo its pretty stock.

Mods soon to be will be a fmic and a comp first.

    • 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.
