rsx - will check the wiring, hopefully it is the only thing wrong wif it.

yeah mate i had a good look this morning i unhooked the wire from the sensor and tryed to start her no go would just kick over not fire up!!, work on this info.

the r32 wire thats connected to the sensor is blue, thats been cut at the sensor, a new plug was put on then run to the conection at the wiper motor and is spliced into a yellow with a black strip wire (there are 9 wires running into this plug and 2 are yellow) i'll confirm the colour tommorrow!

i'll try to post up some pics of what my wiring looks like as i didnt do it and it looks like its all over the place, but it works!! also crimmo, those watanabe RS8 rims, what size are they as i'm looking at a set tommorro (ref to post 340 on page 14 for pic) any tips as thier wider than the hayashi's that were on the car to start with!

P.S. my car will be fin and engineered half way through next month in standard power output then once on road, rb25 turbo and unichip running the ECU she should be good for around 180-200rwkws!!

Hey rsx84, mine are speedstar RS-8 watanbe, 16x7, 16x8, paid $500 a few years ago, straight out of a container off the docks, got a bargain, they are sweet rims and if you can get them in the same size your laughin! :worship:

crimmo - to get them four spots on did you change to the r31 gts struts or did you adapt them with the standard mr30 stuff? im looking to do the 4spot converison soon and i have the 31 gts struts. anyone know of and hassles with this? and also crimmo, where did ya get that tower brace thingo (the blue thing) and how much?

also crimmo - was your car auto l24 once and did you get dragged by a trashed r30 with an rb20 down paynhem rd? (a while ago now)

haha yeh man! that was me!! small world huh!

With the R31 struts they should be floating disk from memory and you can slide on R33 non turbo disks, and R32 turbo 4 piston calipers, you may need brackets for the calipers, you may not too, but thats easy! :worship:

I bought the strut brace off a mate who bought it from some guy on performance forums, its adj, cusco, but i didn't notice a huge improvement as the thing f***ing sticks like glue with the coilovers anyway :cheers:

As I said I'll be down for a cruise just gotta get my little bit of damage fixed and front end back on. As would Tom, corey and Aids???? maybe mick if he buys it no doubt. We could get some decent numbers out with all decent cars. Show what old school skylines can do. A couple of weeks till my new clutch will be in. How long are others expecting to be off the road for? Shane not much longer now? crimmo?

shold be driving in 3 three weeks if all goes to plan! :worship:

bargain and then some, i'm paying $990 for 15x7,15x7.5 but they are sick and fill the guards like a glove, with the 3 peice bolts they look so much better than the cast sets you can get. fitted the strut brace today, i've got around 2mm of play before the inlet manifold hits the brace so might look into a stabalizer shock for the engine? whats the gap you have with your cusco??

RSX84,

I have a set of 5 spoke MONZA Racing Rims for my HR, 16 x 8 & 16 x 7, 3 piece, +38 offset and they fit under the rear just great. Cost me $500.00 with tyres, good enough for rego/engineering.

After engineering, I am going to put a 20mm spacer onto the front hubs and get new inner rims made to widen the fronts an extra 1 inch inwards, making 8's all round, shod with Yokohama A-008 RS II's or A-032's or Dunlop D01J's, street legal racing tyres, 245/45 x 16.

Should make it stick like sh#t to the proverbial blanket.

My coilovers have 400 lb/in front springs and 330 lb/in rears, plus 25 mm front sway bar and 24 mm rear mounted on urathane bushes and semi rigid link pins made from 10 mm rose joints. The rear cross member and diff support are mounted using urathane bushes, all custom made by Noltec in Sydney at a cost of about $400.00. Lower control arms still have standard rubber bushings.

Up front I have adjustable caster bars and urathane bushes, lower control arms have standard rubber bushings on inner mounts and have replaced the ball joint outer with adjustable rose joints making camber adjustment infinite, with the help of the adjustable strut top on the JIC's.

I may have to change the spring rates after final weighing, more closer to completion, to create better balance between front and rear, with me and about half a tank of fuel in the car.

just thinking with your rb30/25 conversion will the brake set up your engineering it with be enough as thats a big power to weight ratio?

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
