ouch.....lucky you didnt knock yourself out mate

With the number of times I have had these diffs out of cars my biggest fear was that it would drop it on my head and now it has happened. Luckily I wasn't using the pit so it only fell 30cm before hitting me not 1m like if I was in the pit. This is the first time that I had someone "lending a hand" and i think they pulled it off the sway bar which is why it dropped. so I think for now on I'll stick with doing it by my self

^^^ if they are on pillar and restricting vision they are a no go. but as far as i know guages are allowed anywhere aslong as they dont restrict any vision out the car.. hence why chad would have passed through regency

hmm Nissan got smart when they made my car :(

so i have a "fibre creations" nismo front bar that has no holes. I can get it paitned cheap, but i need to get it fitted, holes drilled and work done, then it gets painted and then i can fit it after painting. Do you think places like all type crash would bother with a small job like that? Any recommendations?

UNfkingBELIEVEABLE

SO I killed the cressida right, drove over 10kays with the needle on H, had the rattle of death going the whole time and also managed to cook the oil in it.

I topped up the oil/coolant today, turned the key and after a few lazy chugs, she fires up and settles to a reasonably good idle, given the previous abuse. I also drove it a further few kays with not a single problem (it hesitated slightly when moving off from a standstill on a steep hill).

I just can't fathom how it could take so much abuse and still run and drive like nothing happened. Fking 7M is damn near unbrakeable :(

When I first bought the R32 going on 8years ago the coolant temp sensor was dicky.. First summer engine temp went from 1/4 to half. I was wondering why the car would get really sluggy and on occasions stall and then not start until it would cool. Water would constantly blow out of the overflow.

Summer past; replaced the coolant temp sensor to realise it was constantly driving around on H. Maxed out the gauge. :S

It went on to clock another 100,000km's. ;)

    • 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.
