NOTE to all.

Removing pre-cat, mid mufflers and pipes whilst keeping OEM cat and rear muff is a fruitless excercise.

Here was i thinking the OEM cat would flow better than a dodgy compliance cat... NOPE!

Theres virtually no engine noise at all, so i think the OEM rear muffler certainly works well indeed.

so may as well replace the whole lot with a 3" or 3.5" system?

have you had a look in the way of intercoolers yet? i was wondering if it is necessary to go the aristo style one that isnt as high as the 600x300x75 general core.

yeah 3" should make it go very hard. I threw on a filter and she sounds awesome. It has the R34 GTT turbo noise, but with added V6 induction note. Unreal.

In regards to coolers, you'll have to hack up either the front bar supports, or some other bits and peices. I recon it would be better to just get a really good side mount one and make some good pipes to go with it.

DO NOT EVER DEAL WITH CVT NZ. They are nothing but useless. I called them Monday as i was wanting to go up to Rockhampton for the weekend. Told them i need new CVT fluid for the cedric but they must send it to me asap so i can receive it well before the weekend. Gave over my credit card details and they charged $1390. Little did i know that they are only sending 8 litres of the 11litres i need to flush the transmission.

Called on Wednesday and it hadn't even left yet. They gave bullshit excuses then promised i will recieve it before the weekend. Tracked the parcel and it has just arrived in Sydney, which is always helpful!

Now i have to pay $316 worth of duty and taxes. So that makes it $1690 for 8 litres of CVT fluid.

Nissan quoted $450 per 4 litres with ETA of 2-3 weeks. Thats $1485 INCLUDING GST delivered for 12litres.

Again, DO NOT EVER EVER EVER deal with those lazy NZ (unts.

    • 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.
