as some people have said, when your spinning a motor that hard doing a skid your usually not under full throttle

i used to have a awesome thermo set up on my oil cooler in my old gts-t, worked a treat

watch out for fuel surge as well, cause when you whip nuts on rubber caked snake pits you pick up a lot of lateral g's

If you can spin them fast enough you wont need to do it for 2 minutes they will blow before that.

I have helped prepare holden 5L motor for burn out comps and it took 3 motor rebuilds to get it somewhat right, and its coming out again to check it after its last burnout.

It has drains from both rocker covers, a oil catch can that drains back to the sump, a breather in the valley so air doesn't have to push out the rocker breathers (not much use for a skyline) moroso accumulator and also an oil pressure sender that cuts revs to 2500 when oil pressure drops below 30 psi or so. Large oil cooler with thermo fan and hienergy sump, it takes close to 10L of oil.

There better be a burgandy skyline at summernats. I thnk Adrian had it right, together with Paul's offer all you have to loose is a trailer home from canberra

its been run and won...the pussy didn't enter the burnout comp!

fark he is soft.

I thought it was running good on sugar cane?

it was running that good with CSR's finest and with the cycle idle going it was having trouble maintaining engine temperature on a stinking hot day it runs that cool.

he was too busy scaring punters with the anti-lag to worry about burnouts.

bugger he single handedly talked me into running sugar cubes in the new sports sedan, then he just wuses out.

Still....anti lag....damn good reason to try a vipec....there is nothing like scaring unsuspecting small children when you drive past.

the cycle idle sounds disgustingly awesome too...some guys buy cams just to hear the lumpy idle...they would empty their sack once they heard an RB on cycle idle. He was told on more than one occasion that he had the toughest sounding car at the Summernats.

cyclic or rotational idle is where a cylinder is dropped by the ecu in order. it cools the cylinder and also lets it idle lower than it would otherwise (because the antilag needs the throttle open a fair way too). sounds like a nasty miss or huge cams....

but neither are required to rip good burnouts....

spot-on...its main use is not to impress the derro's at Summernats but to cool down after the antilag is used.

    • 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.
