Ok so ill give a brief overview of my day. Started off by one of my tires blowing, which was fine i just drove down with the spare to have the tired replaced, got them all done while i was at it. Drove home ok, got home went to install new speakers which ive done a million times, but they wont work, not sure why.

BUT my biggest problem is all of a sudden when i took my friend home like an hour ok i went to pass a car and the engine revd but didnt really go anywhere, now this suggest to me maybe my clutch is slipping. so any advice on what might have happened would be great because it just started doing it out of nowhere.

Also my turbo timer only ran for about 30seconds when i got home when its set to go for 3 minutes........

ARGH i see money spending on the horizon.

What do people say? "GTR, land of the rising credit card debt"?

Owning and running one properly isn't cheap, it only gets worse ;)

You have a few problems there man.

1) Speakers - more information. Did you only change the speakers? Are they 2ways, do you know they work. Does the cone pop out when you give the wires (pulled from the head deck) 9v from a battery?

2) Rev's - Dude if your engine speeds rising and you ain't gaining knots, then your clutch is slipping. (assuming all 4 wheels aren't smoking) Is it an OEM? How much power you making?

3) Turbo timer - F_cks knows, what one? Set to auto? broken?

I'm putting $100 on your tyres blew cause you were doing burnouts with the ATTESSA relay pulled out, which you did incorrectly and short circuited the turbo timer. This fried your clutch and the smoke damaged your brain, causing you to install pancakes in the doors, mistaking them for speakers.

Cheers

ha...mmmm....pankcakes

are you mechanically or electrically minded? sit at 4k in third or fourth gear then give it a boot then you will know if it is slipping or not.

tried playing with the ttimer yet? if its still working then i guess you havent killed it...yet.

apply for another credit card...that'll solve all your problems =P

tires blew because they were cracked from sitting round in a a ware house for months. have never done a single burnout since i got that car heh.

My hypothesis was funnier, you should've flowed :/

When i got mine under the 15y rule, the tires didn't need changing. The 90% used, old, hard, jap import tires where me favorites! Such a hard cracked up sidewall

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
