i wish i still had a car for ryan to work on :)

was a good excuse to drink iced coffee and talk lots of shit/bag other members on here :huh:

i have a feeling you will be doing another 100 thou k service for me soon ryan ;)

;)

meh, its bound to happen sooner or later!!!

what really shits me.

new gasket, labour =50

captain thread to take out snapped stud=90

coolant to top up=15

realising the turbo gasket wasnt even the problem, and paying simon 200 bucks to find it = mega fail!!!

a $15 elbow intercooler pipe ended up costing me $370!!!!!

ffs ;)

$450 (inc Labour) to change Timing belt (genuine), Water pump, Coolant, Oil, Oil Filter, Plugs, General check over, whatever else you want doing..

Woo hoo! Whatever else! Nice. Okay, Ryan, included in the $450 I want a OS Giken 3.0L built, I'll have a HKS T51 SPL fitted... and I want you to give the car a wash and polish... with your tongue. :rolleyes:

There's a couple of reasons.. Firstly, working on cars so much made me loose the thrill of working on my own car, which is why i got my car in the first place...the hobby was killed. I love cars and it killed it for me. And secondly, too many people didn't realise i was in it to help people out. Getting bagged for not being as reliable as a workshop even tho i was there to save ppl money and time in the first place. I'm not a workshop, i do have a 45 hour job during the week and a social life.

Don't get me wrong, most of the people were more than greatful for some of the work i had done but there's a percentage of ppl that just ripped the satisfaction right out from under me when too much was expected from just one dude trying to help save a dollar or hundreds.

Craig, be more than happy to help you in the future..even for a couple of brews and a shit talk. :P

That's fair enough too Ryan, I often thought to myself that you took a lot of shit on and it would become more of a hassle ( not knocking you just an observation :P )

Sad part is there's a lot of people out there just looking to use others to get what they want, sadly it seems you met some of them :)

    • 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.
