So Skandy what are you gonna be getting now then??

Lee whens your beast land on a dock near you??

ive seen that think he lives up modbury north way

My mate owns a 309.9rwkw xr6-t ute. Youve probably seen it around. It's red with the numberplates SLOW. Driven it a heap of times including back from melbourne....To be honest id rather drive my 33.
well i spent most of today moving random shit around with a forklift then crush 20L paint cans with the forklift and then proceeded to clean the forklift...250grands worth of forklift so i thought it deserved a clean LOL.

I take it I wasnt missed today then LOL.... KE70 runs again, starter dies.... got one from Jew-steal-it for $20 LOL...

We Busy tomorrow?

sorry, didnt read it properly, thought you had an auto LOL.

Try precision Gearbox on Port Road, were nothing but help with the GTR box Im converting. And the MX7 box Im rebuilding LOL....

thought you weren't doing that anymore.....or did you go and buy it?

also, hillzy, what sorta service does it need? Is it just a 33 5 speed?

also, precision are arseholes, i usually get along with most people, but they gave me the shits...just the attitude of the dude was a joke..

Ryan @ Kansai has chucked it out the back for me in case I can find any more info... Waiting to hear back from trent @ URAS, as he's converted a few GTR boxes.... If I cant convert it, no harm done. Not looking too promising from what everyone else is telling me.....

As for the MX 7 box, It's a cheap rebuild, and If I dont use it, I can still sell it on or keep it as a spare. Precision are only charging me $400 for replacing 3rd and 4th gear syncro's (might replace 1st and 2nd yet) and a full servies.....

And as for precision, I must have spoken to another guy, or got the guy you all spoke to on a good day or he copped a root the night before, as he was nothing but helpful with me when I was making inquiries.... when I went there, same deal.

I just want the oil drained that's in it and maybe an inspection. The oil that's in it now is redline (don't know viscosity etc) but 1st to 2nd changes started to get tough when cold and made a slight syncro noise, now the same change iscrunching syncros on many of the changes even when warm. I read that redline oil isn't right in Skyline 'boxes and is responsible for syncro damage so I want it changed just to be safe.

Yep it's a standard 5 speed.

Hillzy;

Take it to MV auto's.

They do the RB DET gearbox's and know the jap shit. :cheers:

I gave MV a ring today but they guy I spoke to couldn't help me because it was a manual. He said they only do automatics.

    • 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.
