that basicaly goes through everything. if you are only looking for 300-350kw range the stock internal bottom end is fine (good for 600hp and 7200rpm) remember that all pricing on their site is in NZD not AUD.

Anyone know where is good to order online that is pretty quick?? I am after parts first week of November. Got a few places but not sure if they have all that I need so would be good to shop around.

Cheers :banana:

Send it up Kat...our head work is top shelf PM Jz R33 as we just did an engine for him that he picked up on Saturday.

Our engines have a proven track record taking out several Autosalon power championships and powering our R32 drag car to win the Australian title in 2004-2005. We have just built our current engine in our race car to push over the 1000hp mark and into the 8 sec bracket.

Im doing a couple of engines for ACT customers actually...you may know some of them.

Kat, make sure you consider this post!

LOL I'm happy to have 4wd and the more power she gets the happier I am! Haha rather have traction than fishtail down Gungahlin drive like what was happening when I had no front wheels engaging! :)

Do you know what yours dynos at the rear??

no idea at the moment...only got a 3 inch zorst and pod so i cant imagine more than 140ish 150ish at the wheels...plus i took the boost controller off so its running stock boost at the moment :) still enough compared to the old pulsar but.

it's booked in to autotech next tuesday, they are going to check air / fuel, try and diagnose that sensor problem thats making the car feel crap. hopefully give me a power figure then. when i spoke to the guy today he said it might jsut be easier to get a power fc so i can tune it n stuff...we'll see.

i bet the fishtail was fun hey? i had my first powerslide incident coming out of a round about the other day when it was raining...not as bad as what i expected it to be but...

Power FC FTW!!! Best thing I ever bought for it.... So far :)

Compared to the Pulsar must feel like a rocket!! I remember getting in the GTR for the first time after driving around a non turbo for 4 or 5 years... Haha OMG!!! :)

Well I've always had good results from those guys so they should be able to sort it out for you. I wasn't sure how stock yours was. At least it's nice and tidy, I like stock so then you can do whatever you want to it. Modding = expensive but awesomes!!!

LOL was a bit embarrassing cause was unplanned!

yeah my awesome powerslide was pretty much me jsut out of a roundabout...was going straight and put my foot down...hit boost was fine...hit 4K = loss of traction pluss bit of a kick

was kinda cool hehe.

where di u source your FC from kat??? can autotech get them or do i have to go through an online shop?? ive never shopped online before lol :) somewhere local supply them??

guess ill wait for them to tell me what the problem is first.

Sinista v1.0 (Black GTST) ran 178rwkw. Pod, Zorst, T-peice boost controller and 2530 turb.

Sudden stop at metal bus stop by next owner ~ 0rwkws :)

Guys that have done this all before me, can you please let me know wht brands you have used for....

Cams

Pistons

Conrods

Injectors

Oil Pump

I have some ideas now and wanna hear what everyone else is using :banana:

Cheers.

Just been through it all, engine is at the builders now!

Cams: Tomei, Hks or other (not sure were already in engine)

Pistons: i went with Mahle pistons (Probably one of the best pistons you can buy) were around $900

Conrods: i went with Pauter. (also one of the best money could buy at the time) also were around $800

Injectors: i bought some 800cc injectors (i think they are denso) from slide on this forum (in the for sale trader section)

Oil Pump: Using N1 pump still. (with a well balanced bottom end, and staying away from rev limit launches etc they will be fine) will be looking at dry sump later on

Best thing to get is the nismo full engine gasket kit too @ around 4-500 bucks its very good value :P and you wont have problems with leaky aftermarket gaskets and seals..

I bought most of my engine parts in the Usa, while the dollar was at around .95, therefor i spend a bit more money and got myself Very good parts.

also got a n1 water pump for around 200 bucks from the usa..

As for other bits and pieces (jap branded stuff) got most of them from www.greenline.jp

I'm close to the 10k mark already tho i did buy a complete n1 motor as that was ment to go straight in........ haha

    • 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.
