the tune/dyno was done over east, i've had a few little issues to sort out before getting it retuned.

the timing did seem a bit adventurous as you mentioned, so i backed it off a bit pretty much after my first drive just so i knew it was safe up until i get my trusted tuner to give it a once over.

when it gets retuned, timing and fuel will be backed off, however i'd like to wind some more boost into it if possible.

cheers simon

i'm getting it all tidied up and what not to get it rego'd/permitted for WA at the moment.

then after that i've got a few things to put on/remove before it goes in for a retune, hopefully i can gain a bit more midrange rather than a very peaky power graph..might make it a bit 'easier' to handle too, 1980 design suspension isn't exactly up for for a 400hp kick!

nice car mate well done. couple of little things i may have done differently but overall its a really nice tasteful car

i'm acutally working on a 31 at the moment, not quite as unique as your's, its only a aussie r31 Ti, but has copped new motor and manual conversion. removed moulds through the doors, dog legs and front gaurds & shaved locating holes, boot lock, arial and shaved rear garnish and a line or 2 out of the bars its going gun metal (new honda colour) i think its actually called phantom grey or something. series 1 bonnet, series 1 lights, pintara grill with series 3 front bar with around 18mm chopped out of the sides to fit all the series 1 stuff. also is getting some balck 17'"s (6 spoke).

anyways back on topic great car mate well done.

ALSO, in regards to the questions about the "big fat superlights"

They are ROTA RB's barnd is ROTA, RB is model.

Rota sort of copy famous designs, work replica's and that sort of thing

anyway made in china (nothing against stuff made in china) I think and they do have a repution for being "brittle" but i personally have never seen a set let go. (quite a few local drift cars run them)

they are not that exspensive at all

    • 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.
