My jaw literally just dropped when I saw the above photo! :)

That is INSANE!!! :(

*edit, just read the last page.

mmm rx photos! that 787b monster would be incredible to hear and see it in the flesh. err metal.

As for pissing off the neighbours.. 3 weeks or so ago I had dog shit thrown at my garage door and squished under the roller door and into the handle/lock :) haha ratbags, I will be getting them back as I know who they are (have complained a numerous times :dry: ) its not like i sit and rev the car at 2am and hoon in my street (there are lots of kids that play in my street)

Last encounter I had with them they said they are going to report me to the epa, I said go ahead take my rego and pointed to and empty space where my licence plate should be. (its a track car, no rego) they wern't very amused haha

Im thinking about shitting in their letterbox.

the pan speed car is a winner for sure. but that thing is so farking loud. even for a rotor it's mental. I remember seeing it at tsukuba and I thought I'd watch one session from up in the stands. the whole stand literally shook as it came around and I was deaf for about 2 days. a hot japanese girl asked me if I wanted a blow job and I said no thanks cause I thought she said 'get a real job'... the only jap circuit car I've heard that's as loud is the tracey sports nsx. I swear those two cars are not just running without mufflers, they must have added some kind of 'loudener'.

many moons ago when I was living at home some cops came round one Sat arvo...

I walk outside to see them inspecting my old 33... started to chat to them and apparently a neighbour had dobbed us in as we had a loud car that was waking them up in the morning... I asked them what time and they said approx 5:30am... There was no way it was me as I never get up that early so I took them out the back to show them my dad's old Alfa Giulia GTC... they just laughed and asked to hear it... I gave it a few revs for them and they said nice car and left promptly lol... that car is seriously loud, I did used to feel a bit sorry for the neighbours! lol made my 33 sound positively quiet in comparison :)

Ha - and you guy laughed at my 20B......

S12 Gazelle makes slow progress:

After getting it back from the workshop to have a seized pinion bearing (scary at 80kph on the road) - The live rear axle and locka is coming out and a full R32 IRS with LSD is going in.

Brand new KKK K26 turbo is on - The K27 was tooooo big - bogged down cause no boost between gears

I should be on the track soon.

Whats the deal with track days these days ?

How much is the Super G in the UK?

20k makes me think i should just pony up the cash. LOl only i have no idea how bad a T88 13B would be. If it had a T67 i woudl seriously buy it for my trip to Spa and the Ring in 3 weeks.

You just need to convince Snowie that we are better then a 50:50 of the car lasting 3 days :P

Going against it are the std rebuild 13B. Spacers on the rims and seemingly absence of an oil cooler. Oh, and its only running 8psi so lag, lag, lag then fark all up top with only 8psi. But fark it would still sound cool and looks wild! As is 15K so i have a few bob to throw a smaller GT35R or something on it

This one is the better buy and safer bet it woudl last 3 days of track driving and some fun cruising through on awesoem roads...but, of course it is considerably more money, enough to rule it out.

Well I can't back you up mate as my 13B wouldn't last 3 days on the street without braking down on me! :P But that was a dodgy tune/injectors so I don't blame the engine itself.

How much power is it making with the 8psi? Stock rebuilt 13B inside?

I thik it would be awesome, but yeah, to be on the safe side the rental may be the go especially if you're flying from OZ. But I'd still buy it if I were you! :P But I did buy a 550hp RX-7 as my daily within 3 months of getting my licence, so I wouldn't listen to me.

I can't believe you looking at RX7s troy. don't tell me i've been a good influence with all my talk of how long my RX7 has been between engine swaps? yeah I reckon it'll last 3 days of you and snowclown. you're both pretty soft really. the T-hachi-hachi would be pretty gay though unless you can crank the boost to about 25psi and the rev limit to about 10,000rpm. in that case make sure you ask for the first lap as that's about all you'll get! it will leave 2 nice black lines all the way round the ring. and another thin brown line all the way around your ring....

S14 is probably a safe bet. but the SR20 is not exactly the powerhouse of reliability either and an S2000 is an awesome engine wrapped in a massively camp car. perfect for you 2 fun boys to get around in with the top down looking like a pair of gay german tourists in town for a nambla convention. nothing is camper than two blokes in a convertible. it might get you back to dance central in hamburg in time to see kraftwerk. just mind the cd stacker in ein trunk dumpkopf.

just take over your bigger TD06 set-up in hand luggage and chuck that on the RX7. nice punchy 250rwkw it will be good.

    • 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.
