my car started misfiring under high load the other day (ie ~5500 whilst wheelspinning in 2nd) so I took one of the spark plugs out (CBF doing the rest :) ) and it looks like this:

Is the whiteness something to be worried about?

Anyone?

Gap looks standard 1.1mm ?? should be 7-8mm i think mine are even 6mm i was planing on running large boost

as for whiteness i don't think its anything to worry about i think its heat affected metal ??

i found this 1,627,500.00 JPY (Japan Yen) = 26,404.34 AUD (Australia Dollars)

Now that I can believe.........$AU26,000 for an OS short motor that includes a full counterweight & big stroke crank with sleeves, deck plate and all the you-beaut internals.

I just can't see why someone would pay $30K for a block alone that can still pound a brg, crack a land, throw a rod, etc, etc!!

Yeah I noticed the gap was kinda big for our cars. Anyone up for a drive to the hills to help me change em for a 6pack o beers? :)

Feel free to bring the car down to Campbelltown though. i just got home from work and will be up for a bit. lol

what are your thoughts on this looks responsive enough and a little more balls than the 2871r just suggestion.

~GT2876r click me~

The GT2876R is a poor mismatch between the turbine and compressor. The 76mm compressor wheel is too big to be driven by the T28 ns111 turbine wheel.

This is highlighted on the Garrett website where they say;

* Not recommended for general performance applications

* Best suited for unique applications such as asymmetric turbo installations

Hey mate,

I work in irrigation facing Currie street. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't even know we existed, no one does!! lol. It has been decided that we have the better spot as we have windows facing the main road.. Let's just say, during uni and summer, awesome views!! lol

Anyway, the wheels...... What are you after for them? I have a mate that is a BBS fan boy who might be interested if I give it a miss. Can post pics if possible?

Cheers,

Peter.

Thought I'd move this post to Wasteland so Andrew, Joel or Matt don't smack us, lol.

Here's what they are.........haven't thought about price at this stage........265 x 35 x 18

Gap looks standard 1.1mm ?? should be 0.7-0.8mm i think mine are even 0.6mm i was planing on running large boost

FIXED

i wouldn't go any lower than 0.7mm, No need to and it effects your idle. Will bounce and pop at idle if any smaller.

It's amazing that the block costs that alone AND that Keir has blown 5! What is the exact difference in the OS block that makes it so awesome?

It is an engineering piece of art .... and people make serious power with them, that they just cannot make with a normal block

i found this 1,627,500.00 JPY (Japan Yen) = 26,404.34 AUD (Australia Dollars)

Nice find Steve - you do realise of course that it would cost you $10k+ to get it here including shipping, taxes and GST?!

Seems the price has come down somewhat .... mind you, it doesn't look like that is coming directly from OS Giken (with all of their associated knowledge and warranty that comes with it), so I guess it is from a cheaper distributor or something. Also sounds a bit fishy, since it says in 1 place 3lt (2996), but in other places it says 3.15lt. I guess that is a head gasket and piston stroke issue maybe.

Had a tinker around with the GTR last night and found that it still has the stock boost restrictor in one of the vacuum lines (Nissan put it in to meet the gentlemen's agreement and circled the line with a yellow stripe, etc etc etc).

Can't believe that none of the previous owners in Japan took it out to get a safe boost increase! Crazy.

parking in a loading zone that turns into a taxi zone at 6pm = fail, $79 fail

ahwell, my fault lol

parking on a main road at 11am that turns into a bike lane at 3pm. then get stuck doing shit when you thought you were only gonna be there a couple of hours and leave at 4:30pm = $148 fail!! :yucky:

    • 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.
