That's a beautiful piece of machinery there Dale.....that's a good price too IMO.

I've got the updated version of that engine in my truck but with 2 snails hanging off it.

Crap!

Got the news this weekend that my uncle is in surgery at the RAH ICU and he's not expected to make it. That will be another uncle I'm losing to bowel cancer. He is a top bloke and has lived a good life. Hopefully he's got some fight left in him. Bowel cancer is no joke people. I get tested every two years. Its only $36 every two years to ensure you can keep enjoying modding cars for years to come.

thats sad man..hope he has the strength in him to survive through it

Spent the arvo changing coilpacks to not only find out that its not coils causing missfire, but also to snap off one of the bolts that holds the coil in. wicked.

aargh, these bolts are so fragile... i snapped like 3 of them when i had the same issue...

so what have you tried so far to find source of misfiring?

well i took out a set of heavily-siliconed coils and replaced them with a spare set i got with the car, chucked come electrical tape around them first, but no dice, still missing under load. only other thing i can think of is a split in silicone joiners/piping thats only opening up under load? Gonna book it in to Pitlane to get the bolt out and replaced, and see if they can't diagnose it for me.

So you've replaced a dodgy set with another dodgy set? Buy some Splitfires, if the issue persists then you can rule out coilpacks.

As for the bolt, depending on where it snapped, use a set of pliers, wrap it around the thread of the bolt and work it out that way, done that before on my car, easy as piss.

^^^ or take the whole cradle out if theres no bolt left on top of it... thats what i had to do...

as for splitfires... that would be my last resort because they are for suckers :ninja:

    • 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.
