if anyone is keen on a few photos on Sunday, meeting up around 1:00ish, pm me within the next hour for my number. wont be a cruise, just driving to locations for some snaps. i aint no pro either, just getting used to my new SLR.

Any ideas for photo locations? PM'd.

IMO somewhere with some greenery could be cool, before summer turns everything brown again.

was thinking of starting somewhere like mt lofty, but ill let you know.

what a shit past 24 hours ive had !

set off from home yesterday morning at 7am to get a car trailer to go to vic to pick up my white R33,

we got to stirling and there was smoke coming out from under the car, looked to be coming from where the headers join the exhaust so i assumed it had blown an exhaust gasket..

continued up the highway towards tailem bend and it was still smoking but was driving fine, pulled up for some lunch and continued driving.

got to coomandook and jacked the car up in a way side stop , checked the tranmission out and it was roasting. let it cool down for a bit and kept going after checking all the lines to it

ended up getting 10km out of kiki and the car gave up, needed transmission fluid bad!

i remembered when passing kiki there was a garage there so we started the 10km hike back there to see if they had fluid, got there, garage was shut !

luckily a women that lived next to it offered us a lift to the next town which was yumali.

got there and bought 2x 1L ATF top up bottles , the women that gave us a ride told the store owner what had happened and he ended up giving us a lift back to our car thankfully !

got back and started jacking the car up , took one of the lines off for the trans and started bleeding in the ATF, took for ever to do but we got about a good 1 or 2 L in to it , went to try it and nothing

car still wouldnt even move!

let it sit for a good 30 mins and it started to move along so we crept along the highway towards coonalpyn, got into coonalpyn about 4pm and found a mechanics that was open but he couldnt help us,

all he said he could do is sell us some fluid.

ended up buying a 4L bottle of ATF and then bleeded most of it into the trans. didn't do much , got the car moving once again and decided to head back towards adelaide!

ended up getting about 10km out again and bam , nothing at all.

by this time it was 8:40pm , we thought there's no way we can sleep here and there's no way we can get home so we walked back to coonalpyn.

got back there at about 9:40pm and went into the pub , spoke to some of the locals and ended up getting towed back into the town.

at this point we hadn't eaten since breakfast and had pushed the car pretty much 5km with a big car trailer on the back of it , i was f**ked and couldn't give a shit , i needed sleep!

ended up getting a room at the coonalpyn pub and all the bloke wanted for dragging the car into town was a scooner so i bought him a couple of rounds.

decided to hit the hay and work out the car tomorrow.

woke up at 9am and packed our stuff to go back to the car, thought oh yeah might aswell see if the thing will move but nope wouldn't move,

by this stage id spent roughly $80 on fluid and $80 on getting a room , not to mention trailer hire and fuel costs.

my mum ended up calling so i got her to check my netbank to see how much i had left , had about $300 which was good to hear , rang a tow truck company in tailem bend and they said $500 to get back to my house with the trailer,

i said yep great let me get $200 together and ill call you back, my dad rang his sister in melbourne and she transferred $200 into his account and rang the tow truck, after about 1 hour he showed up, boy was i glad to see him !

loaded the car up and hooked the trailer on the back and started the journey back to adelaide, at this point i was tired, sore, sunburnt and broke , i really couldnt give a shit what had to be done , just take me home!

ended up getting back home about 1 hour ago

f**k im glad im home now , im wrecked , not just physically :P

oh and our phones are disconnected so we couldn't make calls !

all of this head f**k to get my other car

FML !

side skirts are finally fitted. :P

core itself doesnt make any difference.

but with the plate and relo block, they should have little arrows (or simply, "in" and "out") on the ports.

on mine its the outside port on the block adaptor linked to the outside port on the relo block, then the inside port of that feeds the oil cooler core, then the coil cooler feeds the inside port of the block on the engine.

ok on the left is my plate that sits against the block, on the right thr relocation plate.

now u can see the two holes on each which go through to the hoses..

which is in and out?

there are no labels on them at all..

all i can tell you is how mine was setup. if you get what im saying there. if not, and youre at the dinner tonight, ill show you what i mean.

I would say that if you are that financially strained that you should get your priorities right and not buy cars... true i know hardly anything about your situation but yeah.

i've already made up my mind mate , im over this for now

going to move on soon

Put my first ever mark on the line, I cried.

i did the same thing the 1st time i drove my car when i got back from thailand.... i drove it into the shelves in my shed at about 1/4kph, put a tiny scratch on the front bar :P

Mitch, I gotta say to continue driving up a highway with smoke coming from under the car is a completely stupid idea, and it was destoned for fail... Smoke coming from an exhaust join? If you can see actual smoke coming out of an exhaust unless your gassing it etc you would think *something is burning*? It is unlucky, but a bit more common sense would tell you to head back as soon as sh!t started going down hill.

well to begin with i wasnt actually driving my dad was , and secondly go read the full story on my facebook because i cant be effed reposting it.

Nice R Jarred but you do realise that when you own an import you are forbidden to park any closer than 30cm to the curb so you never risk scratching your rims.

I will forgive this 1st offence but please be mindful of your proximity next time you park your car.

    • 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.
