lol, there's a hole in that housing where the port should be mate... hehe. that will be nice. should slot those housings into my road car...

Selling her? Any particular reason? Shame, the thing looked to be a decent little bus, and no doubt well driven.

No particular reason mate, and once push comes to shove might not be able to actually go through with it. But I'm feeling it's time to maybe take a break and show my little lady the attention she deserves. She's missed out on alot over the years due to me going racing.

That porting is massive. Should sound very nice indeed!

It's getting there Scott, hopefully driveable by Monday. I haven't got the dash done yet as a few things have gone over budget, so once that' all sorted I'll pull it out and get it flocked.

I even like the uras type lights on this one where they are covered. it would probably help the aero a bit as without that nice smooth cover it would for sure create drag or turbulence.

says the man with the Stack dash!:)

I'm jealous... I like shiny stuff...

Haha that was in the budget... but a few thousand other things weren't! :(

I think you're right Richard, and it's something I've thought about, but I just don't like the covered ones so I'm not doing it by convincing myself the open ones make for a great ram air intake :P But I should really do it, so I might when I have some more money and can do the aero stuff I want.

Chris: I'm sure some companies would

dunoo, will have to ask him. Maybe google the name above the door if you can make it out.

also, bought this from Revzone in melb.

it's funny looking at that porsche it just screamed american to me. I know it's LHD but that's not the give away. it's the cage design. the side intrusion design to be specific. so american. they all seem to do it that way with the ladder type side intrusion. I guess it's come because oval racing is their premier tin top racing and that cage design filters down to other categories. you would never see one like that in aus in any category. except benms lone nascup car which of course was US built or at least designed.

any particular reason why oval guys use that style?

It looks like the ultimate in side impact protection. As Zebra suggests American oval racing has far greater likelihood of high speed side impatcs.

Speedway in Aus requires that design, obviously a hand-me-down from the states oval racing regs.

Just picked up this for a fun track day project:

Will be set up for drift or circuit with fun being the key word, times coming second.

Coming up will be a heavily modified N/A 4AGE. Not too sure yet how I will swing it but I think lightweight forged internals, larger cams, light ported head, bumped up compression ratio, twin weber's in an alloy air ducting enclosure (gogo cad skills!), MSD electronics and a few other bits and pieces.

Suspension wise I am not to sure... More research will need to be done!

    • 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.
