Yet another newbie.


Recommended Posts

Guest Sim32

Hello All. My name is Sim, I just purchased a 92 r32 gtst wine red. It was actually "Nismo_Boy's" car, a member of these forums.

Anyway picked it up last nite and the clutch decided to let go :cheers: so there is 800 bucks from direct clutches..does anyone know if that a good price? thats for a Heavy duty Dakien with a large pressure plate (400hp) and machined flywheel blaa blaa, i dont want a brass button.

Anyway way went for a cruise, saw 51IDE at roma street, nice car man, paint looks wicked :D and also a few other 32 gtr's 08LUR and 350ME etc etc.

Anyway as i am broke at the moment the car will stay pretty stock. I think i will just track down a gtr intercooler and run 14 psi (dual stage) and aim for 160kw atw and a highish 13 sec quater..

(car already has exhuast and filter)..anyway might catch up with u soon.

Cheers Sim.

I paid $400 for my 3000p pressure plate organic clutch from Nicks Clutches. It's an awesome clutch. I love it :rolleyes:

Hmm. Not happy. went on a nebo cruise 2day and besides the clutch being a bitch, i found the car very skatey with the hicas and stock suspension in the rear end. Not only that it seams a rock or somthing jammed in my front left disc and made one hella of a noise so i had to turn around and limp it home. The noise dissapperead but is still making it quietly, so it could be a bearing or disc or something..(pads are still ok)..

anyway clutch is getting done 2morrow.. $$$ debt :cool: from Albion Direct Cluthes. At Albion of course. HD Dakien 400hp pressure plate from a touch over 800.

Cheers.

well new clutch is done

is pretty piggish to drive because of large pressure plate i guess.. i dunno, wanted something light on the foot, but a heavy duty pp seems to *** that up.

anyway car goes in shop tommrow..im getting this bad rear wheel shudder and it could be my diff or something, also gotta replace all my bushes.

:P

not happy

    • 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.
