lol u remind me of my mate with his mazda mps - he dumps the clutch all the time & i ask him why?

to be honest ive never seen anyone do that in gtr whilst rolling, on launch im all for it though :)

sounds tough :)

Thats me showing my annoyance from going over the ripple strip...releaves the frustration ;)

Looks like a weapon!!!!

A fair bit of choo choo chooing going on there.... Have you tried the "twin turbo pipe mod"?

great suggestion paul!

your new setup wont have this problem with the hard pipe kit anyway :thumbsup:

I had the same happen to me yesterday...had to re-post

I feel the twin turbo pipe mod may cause some restriction on the front turbo. I would rather go with a HKS or chinese hard pipe kit that has a smooth transition. I am looking at installing 6boost manifolds so will need a custom setup to suit anyway as the rear turbo outlet fouls on Kyle's manifold.

how much can u get the chinese hard pipe kit for?

ive heard the jap pipe kits are close to 2k ;)

beware of aftermarket manifolds & subsequent cracking

i know that mark berry did a back2back test with his hi octane r32gtr which was making over 400rwkw & in fact he lost mid range power with tomei extremes manifolds (top end was was within 1kw of the factory port matched manfolds)

The Chintech kit is around $320 bucks. I have fitted one. It wasn't perfect and the Ypipe is really thin but the car did make more power everywhere.

Yeah, I'm not real impressed with the stainless mani's I also feel I have lost some mid range. Did Mark's test reviel that the STD cast manifolds gave him more mid range over the Tomei's? I feel the 6 Boost would be better again than OEM....just a wee pain to fit up.

Matt.

Wasn't it you that was selling that duel entry ARC cooler a few months ago? I know it was 70 mm but that is/was a awsome kit. You didnt want to run it on this weapon?

Yeah that was me. I have the M105 ARC cooler now. Love ARC. Will go back to the twin turbo pipe replacement when I change the Manifolds. I was unsure if the M75(70mm) was going to cool and flow what I needed so upgraded.

yeah the comparison was between the tomei's vs standard (not sure about 6boost)

i dont understand - are u going back to the factory twin turbo pipe?

I have the factory pipe now. We made 824hp with a similar setup and the factory pipe so it is definately not a restriction. Will look at an aftermarket Y pipe in the future.

are u looking at running the baffle mod in the factory pipe as well?

u getting any shuffle/surge on light throttle under low revs?

best way test it, 50kmh in 4th then flatten the throttle

    • 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.
