haha, another thing i like about the dirty old sr. dont need to drop the engine to swap the sump. just unbolt the pan, and bolt the new one up.

True. I must say I've been toying with the idea lately of pulling the motor out, doing sump, head gasket, restrictor mod and replacing bearings. I dunno, I'll see how I go :(

Sounds good mate, just let me know when and I'll be there.

I got mine from someone selling it on NS, managed to pick it up for $450.

As for the bigger sump, the motor will have to come out, a mod I'd love to do on mine but I've always said if the motor comes out, I'll rebuild at the same time

thats the easy part. ive got a mechanics workshop at my disposal and we can pull it out and back in ourselves but ive got no idea how to replace the sump

but should be a fun learning process none the less

Do it man :(

Hey Luke, been meaning to ask, how do you find the ARC air box over say twin pods?

Pods = HAI = Fail

Air Box = CAI = Win

dunno. dont know that area. was on the south side of adelaide.

Dave, it's called Southies Revenge........remember that little Rick Roll incident :(

in all seriousness, I hope you get it sorted bud......you only just got the red beast back on the road :)

as far as the Rick Rolling goes, don't ever try that on the ns site......you'll receive a life ban, just ask Roo....."just quietly" I think it was more to do with his blue mesh! :(

haha, cheers dude. just running some quick sums, assuming im right and the chassis is still straight (no visible damage to rails, and while it was a hard hit, it wasnt a hard hit) and i replace the exhaust as well, should see change from $1k (sub $500 if i dont replace the exhaust).

but time will tell i spose.

either way, looks like ill be smashing out some overtime the next few months.

Usually abnormal margins between bonnet and fenders / fenders and doors can tell you if anything is out of whack. Sometimes it just means the car has been crashed before and the job wasn't done well.

all the gaps are the same as they were before. yay.

gonna start pulling shit off when i finish work i reckon.

    • 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.
