LOL at cutlery unification .... at the long-gone "Fairview Park Chinese" shop the old Chinese lady used to always ask when she presented your takeaway meal "You want spork"? And they were sporks too.

Me. I had Pete from PLMS do a quick road tune of my car once he installed the nistune daughterboard. Was good enough to drive home safely but he was quick to stress that a road tune is no substitute for a proper dyno tune

-D

actually a road tune with proper wide band sensor is better than a dyno tune but you have to be able to load the car up

Must be the day for old ladies to occupy all tellers at the bank :)

Another thing I hate ...

When you approach a red light, your lane is free, then a car from the other lane (with multiple cars) at the last minute moves across to get in front of you at the front of the lights. Then when the light goes green, they're the slowest car at the intersection. Why the f**k do they position themselves to pass the car in front of them, then proceed to not pass anything when they have a green light. ;)

And my vote also goes to the f**kwads who drive 60 in a 70 zone (or 50 in a 60), then just as you're about to pass them in another lane, they move over into your lane without indicating. :)

Happens on a daily basis Ruby. I had a moron flash his high beams and lean on the horn at me because I was doing 60 in a 60 zone and changed lanes in front of him while easily 2-3 car lengths in front of him. And he was in the right lane doing a max of 50.

Nearly every morning on the Port River Expressway there's someone doing 70-80 in the 90 zone and yes usually they're also in the right lane. Pretty sure a car got pulled over this afternoon doing about 60 in the 90 zone. Then there's those that change lanes without indicating, slow down at intersections (maybe waiting for a red light...?), those that speed up on yellow signals and run red lights, those that can't drive straight in their own lane and wander into both lanes, use the 3rd lane (the ones that merge into 2) at some intersections and then go slow enough to have to stop and allow traffic to their right pass..... and all because here in Adelaide there's too many fktards allowed on our roads. I could go on....

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
