Thanks for the comments guys! :unsure:

We lost the golf today if anyone was interested... It was a knock-about game between mates, two teams of 4 ball ambrose, and the cheating bastards on the other team brought in a ring-in who was playing off 2, and he was on bloody FIRE.

We were playing ahead, and would watch him step up and NAIL the tee shot and land it about 2-7 metres from the pin. He did this for 7-8 holes in a row.... LITERALLY!!! So obviously they then had 7 straight chances at Eagle or Birdie, and with 4 chances at every putt, they didn't miss.

Bloody hell :unsure: 4 under played 9 under (stroke calculation, no handicaps used) :unsure:

Some pics before I hit the turps tonight...

Corsa race seat... Somehow, this thing seems to be getting tighter and tighter as I work on the car. I couldn't possibly be putting on weight, so someone is obviously making the seat smaller!!!

I finally installed all electronics and put the dashboard back in!

- Defi gauges,

- Turbosmart eBoost2,

- Apexi Turbo Timer (which is annoying me already, I think I'll rip it out). and

- HKS Kansai ATESSA controller (which I still need to mount nicely on carbon fibre)

There's absolutely NOTHING behind that dash... No aircon piping (which surprising added up to quite a bit of weight), no air con compressor, heater core, pumps.... nothing.... Just white paint and a bare dashboard. The thing still weighs a good 7-8kgs though.... I need to steal Mark's carbon dashboard from this R34 :unsure:

I thought the HKS controllers were supposed to be a bit rudimentary; have you thought about one of those Ruzic ATTESA controllers the Shirtman is selling?

Tell me more?

I didn't think that these had to be very complicated devices. They plug straight into the G-Sensor and alter the signal going to the ATESSA computer to increase or decrease front drive..... How much more advanced is this Ruzic controller?

do you know if the R32 and R33 Kansai controllers are interchangable? We've got one in the R33 and it's not needed, and I want to put it in my car.

They have different part numbers, but I would be surprised if they were technically/electronically different. Are the plugs on the G-Sensor of the R32/R33 the same?

I'll be glad to do the shakedown while you losing the kg's to fit in the seat....lol :D

With the HKS E-TS units you dial in the split and the speed and curve of application is controlled by the standard ATTESA unit. The Ruzic unit changes the lateral G Force signal read by the ATTESA and gives you maps so you can tailor the application, more front earlier, later etc. You can toggle maps whilst driving and data log. Those who have them...installed :D rate them highly.

I also recall a thread on GTRUK where a number of punters had trouble with the HKS units. They don t like being left in 100% then ignition off...4WD lights staying on etc

i think im the only one who thinks you should leave you attessa alone on a 32 gtr

the front lsd conteracts the shit r32 attessa

you bring it on early and the you loose something sadly.. in a r32 the attessa is so shit the standard actuation helps with a front lsd.. speciall with hanging the bum out abit

only thing a good about the controler is forcing more drive to the fornt wheel when your attessa is on the way out

and merli being a anal krumpet will have his transfer rebuild

Didn't get much done this weekend...

After struggling for 30 minutes, I realised that I can't get the stock rubber intercooler hoses onto the ARC intercooler pipes.

I'll get a hard pipe kit this week and continue...

There isn't much left for me to do at this stage.

I need to install the remote battery isolator, and finish off the intercooler.

Then I have to dust off the wallet and buy the brakes and suspension.

<sigh>

At this stage, I don't think I'll have it done by May 5 :);):)

Just to be clear, I don't have the old HKS ETS units that have been around for donkeys years... I have the HKS Kansai unit.

You're correct though, it doesn't allow me to choose the curve of signal alteration like the Ruzic one does... It's hard-coded into the unit with the only control being a gain/potentiometer knob...

I'll see how it goes, I would be more convinced by the Ruzic product if I were able to customise the curve, instead of using what are essentially pre-defined curves. How do I know that I wouldn't end up using the same application curve that the HKS Kansai unit gives me?!?!

    • 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.
