The sooner you learn to stop knocking other businesses the better. I would be worried if someone with your attitude was touching my engine!

With the amount of tasty engines Paul is building for people right now, you wont find any love in here buddy :D

with all due respect, cheeky comments like the one i made have no place in other peoples threads, no matter how much substance is behind it.

Hopefully this is the last time it is mentioned.

Man i wish i had a hoist,i hate pulling the box out on stands!!!

Anyone have a hoist at a workshop i can borrow for a few hours lol

Two post hoist and gearbox jack FTW

you should try doing it in the pits at Eastern Creek with a deadline for qualifying...we had to replace the gearcluster as well after smashing 3rd gear...rebuilt box with it sitting it on top of a waste oil drum (our workbench...lol) behind our pit garage...never again!...we made it by 10mins.

Dave what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. (thats the only positive thing i could think of)

Clutch problem sorted. I took the Main cylinder adjustment to its maximum and it has seem to have fixed it. No free play in the clutch at all.

Thank god i didnt have to take the gearbox out :D

Thanks to Paul and Terry@Award Diff & Gearbox for the imput shaft. Didnt need it this time but will be handy to have. Just letting the pipes cool down before i take the wastegate off.

who said you could keep the input shaft?....hehe just kidding.

good to hear you didnt need to whip it out.

........How did you say you were paying for all this Dave?!

Ah funny :(

Myself and jeffworld2 went for a bit of a drive down southern highlands way. Loaded it up every chance i got, with pedal control, i was aiming for 10psi and 5000rpm. Which is only 1/4 throttle. The thing just wants to go!

Now the engine has 137kms on it. Will be going to put 1000km on it before i go for the full tune.

So......i have 863 more kms to do.........whos up for a cruise??? :D

Your more restrained than i am, im going to get my new motor ran in on a dyno, wont be able to hold my self back for 1000 k's

dave your car spools too loud lol. too bad it doesnt go very fast :( It was good following you, because i could hear you spool up and knew i had to too. then when we were on th e highway, i heard a truck and thought it was you haha

HOWEVER:: the biggest thing i discovered, was that your headlights are ridiculously bright- did rsr get new ones>>? thats why that truck flashed you. I also decided that noise wasnt a turbo honk it was the road.

hope you had fun with this build because mine is coming out again soon :D

EDIT: i did 2000km last time, with one dead turbo. i never knew till we turned the wick up and nothing happened

Yes my headlights had been adjusted too high. I adjusted them when i got home tonight.

As for that road,it freaked me out hence why i pulled over. Im going out for "coffee" in a few mins.

Dave come for a drive up to Newy this weekend...we are putting an 1100hp turbo on my car...come and have a look.

1100hp? Pfft weak sauce :(

Good, the thing finally arrived. Are you starting early? I have to be back in Sydney by 3pm.

    • 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.
