Ok guys if you know anyone that wants a skyline tell them about mine, as its really got to go!!! I know I told some of you I was now keeping it but I just cant afford to, so the car must go. I have dropped the price to 16k for a quick sale. There is a case of beer or fav drink in it for the person who directly helps.

The fact you have had it on so long now snooze i think you may be in some trouble in that...

- There seems to be a lot of people selling modified cars all at pretty good prices

- Most people still have the idea in there heads if the cars stock/stockish it's been looked after and not thrashed.

- Me personally if i was to buy a modified car i would be getting one that is heavily modified eg forged internals, massive turbo etc etc.

I think you really have to two choices...

1 - Ride it out as maybe the right person has not come along yet.

2 - Strip off the parts that are worth a fair bit of money and return it to stock performance wise. The kit i think would be a big + but if you can sell your turbo, injectors, coilovers, fmic, wheels and a few other goodies you might get $3000 - $5000. Spend maybe 500 - 800 getting the stock parts and then sell your car for like 12 - 13 which would be more suited to the cheap people out there.

I really have to get my sh*t together as well... I'm not too fussed with having two awesome cars in the garage but its just not practical.

If anyone who knows my car and knows someone shopping for one then hit me up. I'll get my pics and stuff sorted soon...

Hope you dont have too much more trouble with it mate. Let me know if you need a hand with anything.

Hey Leigh I have been contemplating that exact idea of putting it back to stock I have most of the parts, would need some coil overs, front and rear bars, stock side mount, rims, and turbo. Then run into the fact I dont really have the time, see what happens.

Cheers

    • 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.
