slide stage 2 is a 360degree journal bearing rb25det turbo, oil and water cooled, with max hiflow port work done to the front/rear housing, and big steel wheels

with timing and fuel deliverie issues sorted at various rpm points it should be anything but laggy; very very close to stock in terms of minimal lag

I'll get the stag to Boostworx then with the current turbo and see if Shaun can smooth out that lag then :P

good choice ruby!

sorry to hear craig, 98 is a good knock tho

andrew, was willing and ready for a blast down to victa, n/m

warm weather hey, weird side effect from the fentynal patches is massive random sweats

sux

that's the one that was sitting at wilall a month or so ago! and isn't the osgiken 3litre insane? i know of a dude who has keir's old engine in his track prep r32 with 2 trust t51's i think, it pulled about 420kw? with over 1000nm of torque and i remember when he took me for a spin! started off in 2nd and ripped up the semi slicks like they're nothing and man can this guy can drive as well

Yeah mate that's the car - and Munro's engine is the identical specs to Keirs old one, and is making about the same power too. Very scary, but a lot of fun.

Sorry Brendan - I didn't see your post until I got home. But you wouldn't have been able to keep up, in all seriousness .... we were going *cough* a bit fast - to give you an idea we did the 50km from Delamere to Victor Harbor down Range Road (favourite road in Australia) in under 15 minutes .... maybe next time :P

cant believe the OS Giken block is worth $30k!

yeah me neither - and Munro has 2 of them - one in his 3lt streeter, and one in his race GTR (which is nearly finished and will be running over 500rwkw again on E85).

Betcha $50 I would have kept up :down:

in all seriousness too - Im not a betting man, but One Id take 'cause I know Id get a free fiddy (no speed limiter, good suspn.)

:D

alls good, I knew I posted too late, should have posted at 7am doh

and yes I know the delemere rd very well, favourite road as well for me, closely followed by clarendon thru meadows to the end; strath-goolwa turnoff (damn got a brain fade on rd name)

one of my friends just picked up a vr4 4g63 motor, gearbox and a full aftermarket turbo set up with ex-gate, manifold etc for stuff all

he only wants the gear box for his car.

doesnt anyone know of any rwd cars that we can get CHEAP and dump the motor into or does it have to be fwd or awd to work?

I've heard crazy rumours that the engine is a bolt in proposition for older model RWD Lancers (like gearbox and mounts all line up).

I have an older model RWD Lancer, I think we should test this theory :D

Nah I read somewhere the factory rally team (or a private one, can't remember) using the old lancer chassis put one of the first 4G63s in, although in typical internet fashion this is probably a crock of shit.

Still, my Lancer is an A73 I think, the first one, with a 4G33 engine. The engine code is similar enough so you never know.

yeh thats what we were saying! On main roads too!

Was talkin to the lady at the local corner shop, said that one of em got hit by a car runnin away or something, but has been caught.

Watch channel 7 tonite i guess and find out the details.

cant believe the OS Giken block is worth $30k!

I can't believe it either.........I doubt if the block alone is worth $30K........maybe with very expensive internals ie. a short motor

    • 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.
