yeah i'll get onto the name change lol. you injectors should be fine but doubt the pump will keep up with the flow. if you cant be bothered going twin pump look into a much larger single pump.

on another note.

got my head off atm to hopefully fix cooling issues.. anyway heres some pics of the 25 which is stock bottom end pushing 360+ rwkw... everything looks mint!

i got another bottom end that im going to start building up on the side... so if something happens i'll chuck that in.

as for the cooling issues.. well first i need to find the prob. head came back with zero faults. could still have been gasket issue. i'll take the water pump out next and then go from there.

thinking i might ditch the alloy rad to and just run a GTR oem radiator

started at winton.. would just push water out the rad and boil then get hotter and hotter. have changed thermostat, clutch fan, and radiator cap.. didnt solve it. pressure tested, leak down tested and comp tested ebverything and didnt show any faults. someone suggested a possible head or gasket issues so i thought f**k it i'll pull it off and do MLS and ARP studs anyway. so thats what ive done so far

heres a left field thought.

what about the bonnet? the new venting setup? i did a quick search back throught your pics and the issue has only accured since changing bonnets? and everything tests ok?

just a thought as whist vents are good they can cause other issues. just throwing that out there.

well its time for an update!

Got ARP head studs and a MLS gasket thro Garage 7, Head work was done by Rhemac.. all came up good :D

and back together and running again :D

And then the car went to All Type Crash for some major repairs after Winton Matsuri... the colision with the falcon left the sil panel and door frame pretty bent. The guys down at all type managed to pull it out and bring it straight again and along with a new door you'd never guess anything happened!

3 drift cars.... awaiting repairs!

and all fixed... check out my older pics to see the damage.. i never took any pics when the door and panels were off but it was fair major. looked a lot worse then. its a major feat to see that they managed to pull it out this well.

hey mate, if you end up rebuilding a bottom end fit for the NEO, let me know who you get the pistons through, ive been searching for a while and cant find anyone who has NEO pistons, i can only get custom ones made if i send them in my old ones, but i cant afford not having my car for weeks on end

Whens the next time you go to winton!? I only just went drifting for the first time in my track pretty much stock 33 (for now) and i'm hooked. Would love to come down possibly and take some photos at a drift matsuri! NSW needs more dori!

I have a set of Neo pistons ready to go ....

I noticed you that you compression tested your engine and it was reading low (90psi) but still pushing decent power or didn't feel like it had lost any power? Can you or have you comp tested it again? Would be keen to know what reading you are getting now.

Dec's from Garage 7 did a check up tune last night on the dyno since i had pulled the head off and motor apart.. was worth while just making sure all was ok before it gets some more thrashing this weekend.

so as it was.. with the motor thats seen a crazy amount of thrash time and has been reliable as hell.. and overheated a few times recently. it still makes crazy power. in fact its up 10 rwkw since last time lol. Dec's pulled 2 degrees of timing out and dropped the boost half a psi and all was sweet. I would run 20 psi but the AFM maxxes out right about then ;)

heres a dyno chart. with no temp correction it makes 405 rwkw and with temp probe and actual power output its 367 rwkw. but the best part about it is the fact that at 4000 rpm it makes 180 rwkw. more then most street cars lol

thats some impressive power, the bottom end is still stock right????

KW figure is very impressive, but i was expecting a heap more torque, thought you would hit the 750-800nm of torque.

however, what clutch are you running??? also have you modded/rebuilt the gearbox in any way???

    • 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.
