As some of you know, I have been in the throws of organising a new car in the past couple of weeks after selling my last Evo back in February.

After much tooing and frowing and 11th hour changes by the bank, I now have it.

The car is very well known in the Evo circles and was owned by the main supplier of modified parts to the community, Ryan from Just JDM. If anyone wants Japanese parts even for Skylines, I can highly recommend him.

Big thanks must go to my g/f for flying up to Sydney with her dad yesterday to drive it back for me. 7am flight and 10pm arrival back from Newcastle was a long day. Also thanks to Ryan for jumping through all the hoops the bank threw at him to ensure I got it yesterday as I go O/S tomorrow so had no time spare.

Few pics courtesy of Ryan as I havent had chance to take any yet:

Thanks all - I havent even driven it yet, in bed crook today and it arrived last night, talk about injustice. :(

Snows - It looks a lot like Blaise's definately. 34, still a little out of my reach for maximum enjoyment I felt. I could afford a stockish one but wouldnt have had much left for mods or if it broke. This with all the trickery was still a lot less than a stock nice 34.

A fair bit of coin in mods on it, the list is longer than an A4 page...

maybe I should keep the spec sheet under wraps.... :(

Nah it isnt an FQ400, just all badges, plates and mods to be a near replica to one. Think there is only one in Oz and thats in Perth, am not sure on the import regs for them or if they can only be used for competition.

I think you can use the EVO 8 here for road use?

Don't think Mitsubishi AUS sold a lot..?

Gota check that SEVS law or whatever.

    • 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.
