25 / 1j wouldnt be powerful enough. however a GT28RS strapped onto the TD42 motor is a good option for lotsa torque. Guy from the patrol forums just bought a manual GQ shorty from VIC, with engineered VS 5.0 injected engine in it :blush:

and if ya lifting, its gotta be at least 2+2 (2" suspension lift, and 2" lifting blocks under the body) - that gets the back step up to

I remember seeing a short wheelbase patrol with a RB26 and a big single hanging off the side in a magazine last year. This thing was crazy!

Thats was a pretty quick sale Pete!! Its a nice car..Can I ask where she has gone?? Still in SA or interstate?

It's a sad moment, I did it with mine not that long ago :( But still have the race car! :iluvff:

Hey Jess :wave: ........yeah stayed in Adelaide and went to a nice kid that works at the RAAF

can you get ppl's details from there plate number?
if your a cop or work for the transport department, then yes. lol

Depending on the job I'm on, I can do rego checks either via workcover or thru crown solicitors.....but no randoms.

Heck, I can drag out your private medical records with a section 110 if necessary :P

possibly, depends on the future path of the R.

moreso want to get back into having fun goin slow... = 4wd and mad scrub. wanna start heading up north again.. good cheap fun.

want a less lairy daily driver aswell (althought depends on the lift and tires oh and what turbo, turbo diesel ftw)... the vl will cost a fair bit to get up to spec again

now yoo speaky ma language :ninja:

hi all, im a heavy diesel mechanic by trade and was thinking about doing some weekend work from home such as cam belts, fitment of trans coolers, fitting of coilovers and various stuff like that. my questions are what do you all think is fair to charge for the above and does anyone need any of the above done?

i spend my days working on 27ltr twin turbo V12s and obviosly change my own cam belts and the like. any thoughts???

what would you charge me to replace rear springs & shocks and front coilovers in a 200series Landcruiser (I'll supply the parts)..........if it's too much, I may contemplate doing it myself but I don't feel like crawling under 3 tonne that's suspended in mid air, lol

you made a blatant threat in a public forum bud.....keep it to PM if you know the dude (or send me around to his place) :ninja:

yeh im sorry, i dont know who it is, its just stuff like that gets my blood boiling !

but ill keep your service offer in mind :P

List of jobs for the day:

Erect first frame of house extension, ensure frame is level, and pour foundations

Engine service and suspension tuning to friend's VFR400

Fit turbo to Stagea and re-assemble

Drop in on Damo, delivering tools and check out his RB

... and shower and eat at some stagea :P

anyone got a clue how to get the P/S pump and A/C compressor off without bleeding said systems? (ie just being able to hang them off to the side in the engine bay)

    • 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.
