Hey mate good too read your progresss I just pasted the year mark with my build, hoping to have it all together in the next month.

I went the funny option of building a RB24 some of the mods I am doing are:

Forged Eagle Rods

Rb26 Crank + Balanced

ACL Race Series Bearings

ARP head studs

ROSS Custom 83mm pistons

Tomei 1.5mm metal head gasket 83mm

1mm Oversize valves

Tomei Solid lifters

Tomei Valve Springs

Tomei 270 9.25mm lift Cam's

Tomei Shims

HKS Cam gears

Ported and polished head

Garrett 3076R .64 rear

Hopeing for easy 300kw on low boost and around 350 - 400rwkw on high boost around the 30psi mark which i hope should be achieved with this turbo or having to change to a larger rear housing.

Anyway goodluck today with the car at the workshop!! keep us updated

sounds pretty good mate. can i come around and harvest from your money tree? hahahaha. i would love to have some of those parts you have

well its lookin better now. i got them to check the plugs and they were shitty bosch items, so they have been replaced with decent ones. and they took off the CAS to find it was screwed, chewed out on the inside. totally unexplainable and weird. so a new one is arriving in the morning and i should have it back tomorrow.

the dodgy CAS might explain a weird flat spot i had between 3000-5500 rpm when i had the std ecu. happy days ahead :)

w00t!! good news!!! get that bish screaming.

you can do 300awkw with standard engine, standard cams.....just upgraded turbos, computer, injectors, afm's and fuel pump. So he should be all hunky dory with that.

well picked the car up. still not finished yet. they could still only tune it on 10psi as when they turned the boost up it didnt make any difference co0s the exhaust is restricting it. i think it is the cat for sure as it looks about a million yrs old and is prob full of shit from when the exhaust wheel on the stock turbo decintegrated and went flying down the dump pipe into it. going to try and score a hi-flow from somewhere today and fit it tomorrow morning

Get a drill and swiss cheese the cat. then smash the farken substrate out with a broomstick. that'll clear that restriction :)

Had my car with standard ecu at 216awkw and the cat never had a problem. As soon as i power fc'd it up to 220awkw the cat temp light started comin on. now whenever i get up it it comes on so mines fried.

And its not the power fc knock warning cos it doesnt do the 1/2 second on/off, it stays on while it revs down and then goes out after a coupe of seconds. Dodgy ADR compliant piece of sh#t

Yeah the parts that make the "greenies" happy are usually the first to go when you wanta make solid power...

However that said, id never suggest to smash out the insides of a cat as its just a good excuss for a shaker unit to defect your car and issue you a fine...

The fines are worth more than a decent cat, just get a good quality one and you wont have a problem...

yeh i think im gonna get a CES hi-flow cat. i had a quick play this morning and the car is pulling better now, so im gonna get a good hi-flow to keep it legal. im also thinking of replacing the current system from the cat back. at the moment it goes from the cat into a muffler, which then splits into twin 2 1/4(or 2 1/2) pipes back to 2 small mufflers/cannons at the back. thinkin maybe a good 3.5inch system from cat back would be better, or just getting rid of the muffler between cat and rear mufflers. what do you guys reckon?

Just dont defected for having a 3.5inch pipe to close to the ground ( minimum 100mm).I had this and had to go back to a 3inch.

I had a 3" all the way through, it was more than happy to flow 330+rwkw

So with your goals in mind 3" would be fine ;)

Due to material cost the 3" will be cheaper also...

Jack B @ Redcliffe did mine for $800 inc high flow cat through to a canon, then a further $240 for the new dump pipe and wategate dump when i went to a high mount setup...

They spent a solid 3 hours doing my dump pipes and joining it into the old system in the most efficent manner, I was extreamlly happy with the price after seeing the quality of work...

  • 2 weeks later...

the old CAS was destroyed, and the one they put in as a replacement is also buggered, it randomly makes this hardcore knocking noise. i have driven the car about 70km since picking it up. as the oil feed line is leaking again, i need to get a 90deg bend made up to get it away from the manifold.

on top of this i now dont have a license for 8 months as of today :( . so you'll be seeing my car in the sale section on here shortly, as well as being advertised on other websites :D

haha geez wasnt really expecting that after reading through the thread. Seemed like a hell of a lot of work you had to go through just to get things happening, so many problems! Maybe it was time to cut your losses any way and start fresh.

    • 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.
