I can hand them back to ya mate if you really want them?

And Timmy, do you really think so? I thought when we used to chat in the car you said I was really smooth? Or were you referring to something else? Maybe my chest? Or with the laaaaadiies?

Rock hard Ab's... and the ladies... Hmm

No you are very gentle with Betty and she rewards you... I mis our chats sometimes...

Anyone know where to buy Volk the cheapest? TE37 is still the stongest wheel available, their later stuff pales next to them.

OTR in melb got mine for 3550. 18x10.5 +15

They are sex :happy:

Only to run the Mini slicks :happy: I really want Baron and Bel180s, they are 17x9 +21s !

Mine are even fitted with Mini slicks at the moment ;)

Thats f**kin drug money. I'm OUT!

The boy is putting carbon guards over them as well. Along with a carbon roof he is making for his GTSt!

Thats even more drug money gone!

I'd just do a heap of speed and lose 10kg's. More fun :happy:

don't worry buddy. my set of weds are still pristine in their boxes. and if I ever get rid of them I promise they will go to you. :D they look so nice. thinking of ditching the TE37s on teh new car in favour of teh weds if they clear my F50s and 355mm rotors (they should).

I haven't Chris sorry!

Now, what about this? Yes, I know it's a 4 door, but does anyone know what brand these rear flares are?

Those flares are available from an import crowd down at southport ben. I bought a set a while back and didnt go through with it, opting for the 400 r flares.

Wished i had'nt now as I too am looking to widen the track and jam 295.s under my gtst.

Just waiting for the hankooks to arrive.

The name of that shop on the coast escapes me atm but when i think of it I'll post it up for ya.

Thanks Noel, appreciated. I still like the look of them.

Cammo from Cameron's bodyworks says he's running 285s on same offset on his 32 drifter, quoted well under $1k to pump and paint. "It's a stretch but not that hard" were his words......

For those running the mini slicks, how long are they taking you to get them up to temp? For the price and reported tread depth they seem like awesome value but I'm planning on attending some super sprints at Winton and worried that I wont have enough time to get them up to temp.

Mine are 95% there on the first flying lap (at Lakeside, 60 odd second flyer, usually about 100 seconds on a warm up).

I am quite aggressive on the warm up though, and I also warm the fronts a little by working the brakes.

Will be real interesting to see how it all pans out. I cant fit 18 x 9.5 +18 with 265/35/18s under mine and i paid bloody good money to get my guards pumped as much as humanly possible before respraying the guards (and the rest of the car for that matter) Will be a little cross if for $1000 you get all your guards pumped to suit big rubber :ph34r:

what you have is definatly not as far as possible. a mate of mine had his done with a roller and would stick out a good 50mm over the body width.

But how does it look? Is it just a big lip at the top of the guard, or has the whole guard been pumped to try and keep std look/proportions, but closer to GTR etc. I didnt want that drift spec lipped guard...

Because with wide tyres it may clear with rock hard suspension but was concerned that over the stroke of the suspension I would still be cutting tyres. So tried to pull the whole guard out and put a bit of a flare on it. Here it is with the 18x9.5 +12 with 265/35/18 semi slicks

Maybe i was expecting too much by not wanting the drift spec lip, which would look a bit silly given the ride height i run my car at! I suspect we are talking different things and therefore different results?!?!?!?

I think since 255s are as about as wide as they go with 17" semis then I may just stick with a 9" or 9.5" in around +22 offset. Will wait to see all you other folk think of your little GTSts being quicker/slower with the extra weight of the 18" rim and wider semi...(not to mention anal sepage over cost)

yep drift lip but id be thinking thats what woolster will be getting to.

but thinking about it has joged my memory of a bloke that has recently gone to 18s on a gtst. hes running 265 on a 9.5 inch rim are around the +20-30 range.

i wondered why his guards had such a "hight" rolled lip but now i realise why.

    • 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.
