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.

www.justjdm.com.au

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.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By sonicii · Posted

      How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      By Jarsky · Posted

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
