i agree that looks really good polished. I've always only been interested in building a car with a purpose and that was to drive it. Never been interested in putting my car on show or impressing others so as long as it does what its suppose to i'll be happy. Thanks for all your insight tho people

mate, iv never intended to put my car into a show.. doesnt show the potential of the driver or the power :) im more interested in drifting it and making a shitload of smoke and noise.. i just got it polished because it was for free, might get rid of it though and put a propper one on because my plenum isnt polished.

Last night a mate offered me to put my car into autosalon next year and i refused straight away.. waste of time and money.

goodluck with your car bud

STR8E180, its not about the money, i think its a wank having your car on display for no reason, doesnt faze me unless you go on dyno and shred the thing apart! if its a club thing then its alright or something like promotional work..

but as i said earlier, id rather tear the track apart and destroy some tyres ;)

str8e180 how much for a comp cover with the AR .70 on it with an elbow?

yeah but if u c in my pic, it pretty much touches my exhaust manifold (a bee's dick away) it has been moved away from the head and honed out a touch on the manifold, also the wastegate pipe comes out of the side just under the flange, not underneith (overboost problems) as this manifold is a cheapo one.

so yeah, cant use silicone bends.

LoL, you couldn't resist, like a kid with a new toy at show 'n' tell ;)

The SR setup should be wicked, good luck man!

*waits for Disco to come sprinting over, all frothy mouthed and sweaty palmed over the TS setup*

Nup , T04Z's are not my thing . Too much T4 dinosaur technology in them .

GT4088R's kill those if they're set up propely , exy but they do the trick .

Boy has HKS got y'all in with the drilled port shrouded comp covers !

BTW this does nothing for you if the compressor doesn't actually surge , it can be a step backwards .

Man, shuuush, you cant put reality in front of turbine whistle!!! I don't think the surge slotted HKS T51's are specc'd any better then the other options in the same power window, but I've heard of half a dozen ppl that have upgrade their well matched, non - surging setups for HKS items; purely for noise :(:/ (check the YouTube trash for evidence of popularity - ha)

Its Garrets step i guess, to remain attractive to F&F fans heading towards the Rice tech mecca that is the GTK's from Turbonetics

I don't think you should swap it. It doesnt make it look any less tough & it still looks awesome. I'd swap you for mine if you lived in brissie. I dont really want to have my car off the road it's planned it be going again after blowing up the old engine in january

STR8E180 Just had a look at your cars. I dont really like s13's but i love 180's and yours would have to be one of if not the best example ive seen. Everything has been done right and with a purpose looks unreal and makes great power. As for your r32 gtr it's the car i wish i bought instead so need not to say more lol

    • 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.
