thinking about changing to one of these

wait till you throw a balance shaft on the 4g63, mine did off idle , a very common problem, destroyed the block in seconds. and the all wheel drive fuel economy sucks.

mitsu dependability :cool:

turbo failure a few months later, and a few clutches, gearboxes, and transfer cases later.. good thing it was only a daily not a racer, or it would have never made it to the race track...daily driver, hell it was broken down more then it worked..lol

and that was on a basically stock tune evo/vr4 drive train, not a highly tuned monster.

plus R34 prices have fallen into the toilet for resale ?

go for the Lada..lol they come with duct tape and bailing wire to make them last forever..lol

I drove Munro's Evo 8 when it was brand spanking new and it really didn't inspire me .... and looked like a chick's car .... yawn

At the end of the day it is STILL a lancer

so i went to lonsdale to get my r32 inspected (vic -> sa) and of all the things i could possibly get picked up for...window tinting...

'too dark on the rear quarters and the whole rear window'.....silly stuff, guess im back to peeling...

I knew someone would piss on my parade :(

parade pissing is awesome.

a 19mm nut on my front left strut pissed on mine, last person to work on the suspension partially rounded it. cant fit a 19mm anything onto it. pu.

Did they let you drive it away from there? When I changed over rego at Regency on my old MX6 in 2002 they gave me a razor blade and told me to get the tint off on the spot, else get a tow.

Sounds like a light angle grind on each side then a shifter spanner or locking pliers Dave. Works a treat!

+1 have done this a few times,

also a thin file on a rounded phillips head makes for a good ghetto once off flat head fitting

anyone know when/how carsales.com updates? or anyother sites i should check out

im pretty sure tradingpost.com is every thursday but i dont know about the other sites.

i like to keep my eyes peeled for any 240z dato's for sale amunst a few other oldschools. 14k is the best ive seen for a clean 240 so far.

cops wont hate on it and i might even be able to park at shopping malls with it.

lol sounds like my issues dave, sinergy put my tires on and obviously used the wrong size socket on my expensive blue alloy lug nuts. had two rounded out in a big way, they went thru the trouble of filing them off after they got them off to remove the burr they left . only issue was it shows bad on blue nuts when the rest of it is shiny alloy.... trained monkeys , a socket must fit tight on the lugs or the rattle gun kills them when you hit the trigger, its not rocket science ????

Oh damo,, its always better to piss(hear about issues) before you shit(buy a piece of shit)

you could always buy a forden executurd...lol

build a RB30DET GTR driveline, VE holden.. ex cop car...lol talk about stealth

AFAIK those sites are live, so once u submit an ad it is up for the length of time that u pay for (much like ebay)

Or enclose the bottom of the VE, put a few fins on, and turn it into the boat that it is. RWKW? I think not. How many killerwasps do you have at the prop man?

For all you Galaxy, Star-loving people out there...

Earth is tiny compared to these other planets:

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
