Ha never thought of that, Ill hit you up in a week. :) any engine bay pics? , sounds pretty sexual .

Will do after the weekend. I would have gone the Jun route, but i had a Greddy style and nothing to do with it (was initially for an S13 with an RB30DET, as the stock plenum didnt clear the bonnet, but went R32 head instead).

Mine was <$500 for the plenum and 80mm billet TB, almost half what the JUN style inc TB's cost, not sure how much performance difference there would be, but the JUN is definately more ideally suited for N/A due to the bellmouth's, longer and identical length intake runners.

I had a look on a plenum calculator, and for peak volumetric efficiency at 6000rpm i need 12" intake runners with a 2" diameter - somthing ill make at somepoint, until then the greddy should keep me happy. Mainly wanted it for the larger TB, and to get the intake away from the hotside of the engine, as well as the benefit from a much shorter intake pipe to CAI. Not sure what it will do for VE gain, as i think the runners may be too short, time will tell :blink:.

ECU is microtech LT12S, GTR loom, 550cc injectors (low duty cycle for better efficiency taking advantage of the sequential injection) fujitsumoto jasma tuned length extractors, 3" mandrel exhaust (1 centre offset mandrel glass packed perforated muffler, straight through resonator, no cat) 1.5mm gap 7 heat range plugs, upgraded coilpacks, 255, 8.3deg cams & >11.5:1 compression ratio.

once its together, should be quite angry. Had this in the works for a while, but i got distracted with yet another car (30e+t) made some big numbers with it, got bored, its done now so i'm back to my N/A ways on this old project.

    • 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.
