Enjoy your fluffy pink seat covers

Disclaimer: the above is an assumption based on your softness :P

:O

My secret shame!

Your not going to go racing around the track with aircon.....surely?

Done that once, Eastern Creek 2006, 42 degrees outside.

Stinking hot day, so much free space on track cause most people didnt show up due to the heat.

Left street tyres on and just went out there for a blast cause the day was all paid for, had the day off work etc. Went WOT happily, water temp was fine and oil temp was around 100. A mates GTR kept on splitting the stock intercooler pipe (rubber one) so most of the afternoon was spent helping him while it was hottest outside around 2pm literally dripping in sweat.

Wouldnt do it again, id go to the pub instead.

:P

You have redeemed yourself, good sir.

But yes, f**k that. 42 degrees...I'd hate to think how bloody hot it was getting inside the cabin of someone not running their aircon.

I have done this on 35c days, make it easier to concentrate and more enjoyable. The air con cuts out at high rpm anyway.

lol

Huge power and all the modcons = perfect setup

Enjoy your sweatboxes guys smile.gif

Exactly, it makes the experience that much more enjoyable.

I don't understand why you guys have dailys or don't drive your skylines around the street. Unless they aren't road legal then why not get the most out of your money and enjoy it every single day? Makes sense to me, I couldn't handle driving another car and missing out on the skyline love every morning : )

Well my mate didnt use AC, from memory he had a blown fuse, anyway his seat was soaked, shirt soaked, pants soaked, socks soaked, wiping sweat from his forhead down the straight. He did NOT have a fun day

Dave and I are alike there, we LOVE our skylines in the morning.....like 6am in a nice quiet set of hills on deserted roads haha

Daily drivers are great. You get in, it always works without fuss, zero effort to drive, comfortable suspension, no 3 plate clutch, park it anywhere, cops dont even look at you, skyline can be in workshops for months at a time and it doesnt matter......wheres the downside lol

For me it's pretty simple. I refuse to park my car in a busy car park all day. I've had way to many things happen to it from doing that and I swear I will snap and kill some one if something happens again.

Even when I drove it to uni (before the motorbike) I used to park far away by myself and i would still be paranoid all lesson in class.

I like to drive it and enjoy it for the pleasure of driving it, not parking it with redneck retards in car parks that come to town once a week to stock up on supplies.

Sorry for the rant, you just hit a nerve lol.

+1 , there's nothing worse than having to worry about your car all day whilst working

    • 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.
