Finally got the interior all painted... what a mission. I'm still blowing paint out of my nose.

And got my plenum back so it can finally push ahead!

Also popped upa pic of the new box. It's a RB25 box with OS Giken 1-3, along with the strengthened input shaft. It has an ERP Bellhousing conversion kit on it so it will fit onto my car using my current OS twin plate clutch. If this thing doesn't hold up then I have to change my driving style :cheers:

I'm in the market for something similar at the moment... but budget won't quite stretch to that fine example, unless I sold the Skyline... and that ain't happening any time soon :cheers:

funnily enough that's exactly my budget... I think something like this would be spot on http://www.my105.com/classified.asp?id=10635

Edit: I was going to try and build my own but have decided there is no way I would get it on the road without blowing out the budget... I'll buy one already registered and then tinker with it myself... much easier to work on for a hack like me than the skyline... cheaper on parts too

Does anyone have any shipping contacts in the good old US of A? I want to bring in a lexan rear window, but shipping via air is out of the question. I need a container spot or something similar. Anyone?

I'm seriously considering painting mine matt black. Externally. With pressure packs.

Matt did his with pressure packs, and once some signwriting is on it, looks aight.

Any thoughts guys? Too rough?

flat/matt black is damn cool i reckon.

was dead keen on doing the evo in flat black, but it turns out cheaper to do the shell gloss white so will press on with boring old white.

you NEED to though benny... and just think, you can swap sponsors on the car with a bucket of water and some chalk!!

Nice work funky, looks great man!

I spent a few hours on saturday with dry ice getting out my sound deadening. Cost me $50 for 14kg and it was pretty much just enough to do the job.

I rekon it took me a bit over an hour :banana:

I have scooped it all into a box, id guess its weight at about 15 kg. Ill weigh it soon just incase anyone is interested.

I NEED to what Stu?

I reckon its a good weekend job, once I have the rest of the GTR sh1t to put on it it's a go :(

paint it flat black... bring out your inner bogun!

if i could do a decent finish with a can i'd do the evo, just not sure if i could get it even enough.

    • 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.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol. 
    • ok. Yea, then I would need to remove the turbo and weld an adapter on to it instead, if I fuc* this one up.  
    • No. Only for a standard ECU with/without Nistune. Standalone has no need for it. That's like the 3rd time I've said so.   And as to that sensor linked - yes, it does look like it would be the right one. I've never bothered to see how available they were - just assumed that they'd be hard to find. I think I'd be planning to go Link ECU rather than buy sensors I don't actually want to make Nistune work, if I did not already have Nistune. As you do not already have Nistune, you should realy consider your options.
