hahaha! You can still have fun without a license lol!

yer that's my car. mmm... it's ok for what it is, only running 13 psi at the stage till i work out that funny thing called traction

Only ran a 13.05 @ 108 mph.

A little dissapointing as a really wanted a 12 and i know the car is good for it... but i learnt a few things so me going back to fiddle, that should help throw it into a mid 12 before the end of the year :)

and SLYWPN... R34's have Rb25's :(

but mine is an R33 Series II RB25.

i reckon it's a shit pic though.

Oh.. yer i aint changed it...

1) i'm too lazy.

2) i'm not going to go round saying what i've got lol! Bit of stealth

but it's over 200rwkw. And that's with the Factory T04e :(

The turbo is sort just hanging on for the ride at the moment. Give it 15-17psi and it'll produce some decent results.

I need bigger injectors before that can happen though.

But that will probably be next year as i wanna do a few other things first, Brakes/wheels/motor re-build

what do you want the motor rebuilt for? RB25 should be good for 250rwkw stock with no problems.

I just got bigger injectors and a like new R34 turbo that hopefully should produce the goods on the BMT dyno on thursday/friday.

I'm hoping for at least 185 or so.

2 reasons...

1) i'm already close to the engine limit now. I'm not there but i'll be there with more boost very easily.

2) The opportunity has come about, so i'm gonna take it.

A mate was kind enough to offer a hand to do it so it's only parts that'll cost me aint it wont kill my rear pocket now :(

But i will be going further than 250rwkw, so getting it stonger wont hurt while i have the chance.

well at the end of the day... how do you know where the motor has come from?

it might have had the ass thrashed out of it! who knows.

with a rebuilt motor, stonger internals, i KNOW where it's come from and what life the engine has had after the rebuild.

why bother taking an RB26DETT of dubious origin for $5k+ .. when you can take an RB30DE for less than $500 and for another $5k more have it done exactly the way you like it and actually stronger than an RB26DETT anyway...then you strap that single T78 on it and hold the hell on..

RB26DETT in 2WD configuration is just a bit overdone and for little benefits..

Anyway,guess what i've been reading. :P

    • 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.
