Went to fiy my oil cooler and relo yesterday, fark, the braided lines are obscenely long. The line that goes from relo to block is about a metre long :S

yup my oil relocation for the rb26 has 3x 1m braided lines

30cm long oil cooler with fins, etc, will sort it all out at the front in between radiator/intercooler.

... engine is out and now time to find out what gears I fried inside. :D

Racing season starts this month, and I'm not ready. Been shopping for another engine or gearbox, as I have a spare of everything else, but I'm looking at probably $1K minimum for another basic motor, or $600 for gearbox. :)

yep thats where im mounting mine. I will fit it all up and send it off to a workshop to have the lines trimmed to fit the exact size.

Anyone know if having long lines will place any stress on your oil pump? having 1-2L of extra room might put it under the pump, so to speak :P

looks so much like Abe's! lol

Ok Ive had my joke :(

Its Abes car, the clutch was slipping on the way back from the Yorke Peninsula, so he left it here and took my daily until he can get a reasonable price on a tow - I'm 80km from his place so yeah. Hes going to borrow my daily until its back on the road.

farking heaslip road was closed. not amused eh...

on another note, (writeoff will be keen to know this), I drove 380km and used 3/4 of the tank. Not bad mileage, and thats before I've had a proper tune..

I also took back all the empty bottles and cans from our balgowan trip and scored enough money to buy myself another 4 longnecks of sparkling ale. Win!

-D

fixed :(

lol ya crazy man, what you do for the day then? sleep through till its 5pm or something? you must be drinking them red bulls or something more sinister

Haha during the day we just chilled on the balcony really or went to a cafe. We had quite a few mates in Melbourne, so we were literally hotel-hopping for most of the day.

Man, I heard the clubs in Melbourne are very strict on guy-to-girl ratio where if your not with girls in the line up they won't let you in?

And I heard the Melbourne girls are stuck up little whores LOL. Having said that, I don't know for myself and wouldn't mind planning a weekend in Melbourne sometime this year!

Yeah Revolver are very strict. For each guy, you need a real decent looking girl! But other clubs are pretty easy going I've found... one place even let guys wearing thongs in!

Oh, some of the girls are pretty snobby. The fashion for guys over there is so so SO different to what we have over here, so in some places you feel and look really out of place. People will look you up and down, etc. I met a few girls over there just by randomly talking to them or they'll come up to me to ask for a light or something and then just get chatting from there. The majority of them are friendly. But everything is more classy over there and people generally have more money. They have alot of the Gucci, Prada, etc stores there... we barely have a G-Star shop.

Some of the clubs, the guys are real f**k nuts, but you get that everywhere. Alot of clubs over there are run by club members (bikies) so you have to be careful what you say/do!

But it's a very different scene over there. The drug culture is widely accepted over there... as you'll see about 90% of the people in the clubs are just holding water bottles haha! But that's because one certain drug is basically an epidemic at the moment, cos you always hear about it on the news. Just read about Trance Energy and why they're never ever holding that festival in Melbourne/Australia again.

The music culture in melbourne is massive. Just look at how many ppl are online at any one time on inthemix.com.au.

Adelaide is lucky to have 5 ppl reading the ITM forums. Melb and syd have around 50-100 at any one time.

However I find melbourne to be kind of dirty. No bottle or can collection as they are worth nothing there. Shit everywhere on the streets.

Also alot of the clubs are way too far apart.

You have to walk a fair way to get anywhere.

St Kilda is the go I reckon if you want a decent night. Alot of the locals will travel there to go to shows.

You got that right Damo.

Can anyone suggest a clutch to use? I am thinking of either a Nismo Copprermix or a Xtreme Motorsport kit. Thoughts?

npc, coppermix, or ats carbon.

    • 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.
