real men run 2 bar gate pressue on base maps!

i reckon.....

you call yourself a tuner guiltoy and it cant hold 2 bar on a trailer tune .... pfffffff

thats so 2008!!!!

im sure you gave him rotational idle and anti lag so he can sound tuff on the trailer.

New fully rebuilt engine, new ecu thats only programed to start the car and drive onto a trailer / dyno.

He won't be driving it.

ohh yes i will be driving it...and have

the new (rebuilt) NPC twin plate is nice and bitey. Also to my amazement the modified Nismo mechanical 2 way rear diff doesn't clunk...must be the special oil its running or im not doing tight enough turns at low speed.

The gate has a 20psi spring in it. :D

This car does NOT need rotational idle to sound tuff.

So...is it E85...or BP98 tune?

I say we do a sensible street tune on BP98 for starters.

Then we fill the tank with CSR's finest and turn up the screws! Will fit the sidepipe for this tune so bring your hearing protection Guilt-Tripper.

that will be an interesting comparison, 98 vs E85 vs sunoco or some such back to back.

and its not like its hard to change tunes DI setup to a toggle switch and it can change fuel and ign maps at the flick of a switch.

Due to the price of Sunoco exceeding $10/litre im no longer running it...but will have some E85 v BP98 figures.

All over the toggle switch set-up.

Nah it's shit...

and stop inflating his ego :D

to be honest Guilt-Tripper knocked the nail on the head...he said to me "you have no idea how awesome this car is" i said "yes i do" he replied "no you don't, you can't, because you own it" I thought about it and agree, other people appreciate this car a lot more than me...all i see is its faults and things id like to fix or change. I saw a genuine Nismo R32 GTR today, it was bog stock and had 31K original Klm's on it...i was drooling over it more than i ever would over my own car.

Yeah he can be a wise man when he wants to be... and to be honest, I've noticed that, you've never really appreciated the car that you own, it always seemed like work... the only time you were actually happy was when it cracked 500kw :D

You have literally built a legend.

The car has come a long way since i bought it for Stace to use as her daily driver. It replaced the HR31 coupe she previously owned. It was stock except for a HKS cat-back exhaust and was the cover car in the HPI GTR special No.1 and was used as the test car in the 'buying used' article that they used to run in the mag each month. It had 39,000 original klm's on it and was imaculate like a new car.

It is spoken about at home just like a living member of our family would which is a little strange. Even the unit development we built at Soldiers Point had Spark Silver two-pack kitchen cupboards to match the cars paintwork. Yes its a worry.

Im so glad nobody came up with the $55+K to take it off my hands...grossly undervalued...it was a great oportunity for someone smart enough with cash to secure a bargain at under 1/2 the build and development cost. To build this car again now with the Yen as it is would cost 1/2 that much extra.

The PPG straight cut dogbox is not as bad as i thought...pretty smooth to shift up...down is a little tricky but ill get used to it. It has a nice whine to it too.

    • 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.
