MMMMMMMM, so much fun, pics tomorrow. Having issues with my USBs at the moment. Didn't take Glenn long to spot me! Had only just driven back from the Gold Coast at that time. I have to say at the moment I am VERY happy, it is soooo clean.

Cheers, I fitted the BBS wheels last night, plus all the other little bits and peices. Also fitted the slotted rotors today, they look the business behind the wheels, thanks goes to "Dominic" for the rotors and the "vspecv" for the rims, they look great. SAU is full of bargains! I went to fit all the suspension bits today aswell but hit a snag. Went to pull the rear upper arm off the put the adj. cusco one on and it was so tight I broke the socket, so promptly gave up! Might have to get someone to fit it all.

I KNEW IT!!!

told you that you would be doing that after you got home from my place :P you JUST couldn't wait....

sigh... too bad about my dinner appt else i would taken up yr invitation too.

I find it amazing that your GTR went into the same complience place as mine (but 3 weeks later) and you are driving your already......my black GTS-t has been down there for almost 6 weeks now and i am less than impressed with the workshop.

I look forward to finally taking my baby away from those "people" and getting it on the road.

but hey, congrats on the GTR they sure are a bit of fun!

Not sure I qualify as someone who "knows" how to drive a GTR yet, confidence is definately not there yet. Its a totally different car to drive than the GTST, it feels bigger, heavier, initial turn in is not as good, the seating position is a little different. It not heaps quicker than the GTST but feels torquier and can definately stretch its legs better on the highway! Even though it has a stock exhaust, the engine noise is completely different than the RB25. Basically totally different, can't wait to test it out properly at the track!

Sorry to hear that Haro, its sooo frustrating waiting for the car to turn up, took about 5 weeks for mine to go through. It all worth it though. Can't wait to get a look at that carbon wing blade!!

Still can't get any pics up, really hate computers sometimes, looks like I may have had a USB failure so my pics a trapped on my camera at the moment.

Finally I have some pics! This is how I picked the car up, have yet to wash it. I have just fitted the different rims and tyres, clear lenses, slotted rotors, seat covers, and a few nismo "rice" things.

    • 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.
