Don't know why people have been hating on the oil cooler, as long as it's actually working then who cares.. it looks good and i don't think i've ever seen one on a V35. Chris, you're boosted right?

I have an oil cooler - but it is tucked up nice and neatly behind the front bar on the drivers side (had to lose my window washer bottle though).

Yep, despite having owned a modified S15, R34 and now V35, I have NEVER been to Regency :) ..... you only go there if you get defected.

Who's palms have you greased! Geez! My brother lives down there and said that people tend not to sell their OEM parts because they need them for regency. Apparently sodomy is quite common over there. :/

Yeah I keep all my stock parts and always have. But I don't drive like a dickhead, don't drive on bald tyres and keep my car pretty clean and tidy. Doesn't hurt that I am a bit older than your average Skyline driver .... also doesn't hurt that I am not out cruising the Bay or the City every Fri/Sat night, and don't hang out at known drift/meet spots - these are where quite a lot of defect occur.

^^ exactly. Another reason why I also avoid organised cruises

Police see event cruises, night driving, driving in crowded areas with windows down... as being for entertainment only and therefore a public niusance. driving here now is nothing like it was in the 90's.

^^^ depends on who is organising the cruise though - tomorrow night's BSM cruise will have something like 500+ cars at it, yet will be completely police friendly and they DO NOT pick on cars on the cruise unless you have very BLATANT illegal mods or are acting like a d!ckhead. You should come along! Melzi is coming.

Used to be boosted.

Ahh... maybe one day again. Look at turbo kits all the time, lol. Ordering another cup kit. Finishing the exhaust. When that's all done I'll either decide to keep the cooler for a long time or just throw it away (because I really don't think I'll ever need it... even when boosted again).

I'm the kinda person I don't know if I like it until I actually see it. So I always buy stupid crap just to play with and then sell or chunk.

Just look at this old picture :wacko: :unsure:

I have 275s on 10" +12 rims hanging out my back guards, low front and rear bars, dark tint, noisy exhaust, and I use my car daily for work (30,000km a year) and in nearly 3.5 years am yet to be pulled over :)

However in my old R34 and S15 before that used to get pulled over regularly.

    • 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.
