SO Ive started going through and changing items,

Coilpack

Coilpack Tips

Sparkplugs - cleaned and gapped, will replace with new ones asap

Car had dead o2 sensors when bought, they have been replaced at the same time as some other items:

2 New injectors, all new o-rings

02 sensors replaced

Clutch installed

Intercooler pipes around turbos taken off.

Car is running very rich, any other suggestions as too what it could be would be much appreciated,

Bad batch of fuel?

How does it idle (and what does it show the vacuum pressure as when idling)?

If you don't run a FPR, look into the pressure regulator

Does your ECU give you an error code(s)?

How is compression in each cylinder?

Ill also add, I started and drove it in Japan, just up and down the road and it idled fine, but when I first picked it up in aus it had the front bar moved and the intercooler hoses on both ends off. It was all removed in Japan.

Havent got it to idle since, Compression test came up with 155-153psi across all cylinders.

ok, that changes things. if the only thing that's changed since it was driving fine japan is piping then most likely you have a leak somewhere, or something is not connected properly (ie hoses back to front, swapped etc). you need to go over all the piping again. why was piping removed between here and japan?

I assume it was to remove the front bar for shipping, and they hadn't done it before, all bolts to remove the front lip from the front bar had been removed and kept in bag.

the symptoms really do point to an air leak. even more so considering the chain of events:

car started, idled and drove fine.

you left car

piping was removed/messed with

piping was replaced

car wont idle, run or drive properly

I know where I'd be hunting the problem. leaks wont always be visible to the naked eye. go over every piece of induction piping.

    • 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.
