Spotted Jayce and I deciding on which way to beat up Mick after seeing him with the neons on in Braddon  :mellow:

I'm a big fan of neons.....but dude! we could see the tubes, which ruined the effect! just hide those tubes and it'll look sweet ^_^

Yeah I know thats why I dont turn them on much! Was it just the rear one you coud see?

The others should be o.k. I brought them from America, because all the neons here are week and crappy! So I found the same ones they used of 2 fast 2 furious movie!!

G'day Mick!

Unfortunately,Veilside and I could see nearly all of the actual tube under the car. I'm personally not a fan of neon on such a tough car,but it's not my ride,and car modification is such a personal thing...Maybe hide 'em a bit better? Yours rates as one of the best 33's I've ever seen,and this small blemish wont change that!

Similarly,the 34 GTR that isn't RH9 but has a harlequin paintjob too;not my thing,but all in all a tough car(spotted it at Jerra's shops earlier today,too). Whereas the silver 34 GTR with the dished Jap' rims and tough 'zorst not on Saturday night in Braddon made me reach for a box of Kleenex...

yeah, i must say i think that if they were just hidden they'd look awesome, as i Jayce and I were saying to each other yesterday, we have very differing tastes on what we want to do for modifying e.g. Jayce is more subtle whereas I'm the bells and whistles kind.

You just need to hide them better and they will look awesome, I'll certainly be having them on my new project.

That was me, I went past him right before this epic tale unfolded....

“…..and so there was a 2001-esque model M3 sitting next to the rattly old Skyline, approaching the Duntroon adjacent roundabout. And so the pilot of the M3 decided that he would demonstrate the mighty roaring power of his wealthy executive intended Bavarian form of transport. And so he squashed thine loud pedal into the thick carpeted floor upon exit of the now navigated roundabout, sure of his $140,000 ticket to M-tuned superiority. Much to his total dismay, the near 16 year old red and silver bucket sat next to his finely tuned piece of German engineering, until the electronic engine revolutionometer limter was approached at the loud end of both vehicle's "power spectrums".

Not that this kind of behaviour is condoned.... but there's no way in hell I was going to pass up that opportunity :)

(Truth be told from a standing start he'd probably smash me with all that launch control gadgetry)

Yeah, I don't get to see other liners much, other than the very weak ARM85 who's too scared to even take his line to the nats (its soft, like a whale :P)

aah but therein lies the catch. very few of the SMG-equipped m3 owners will actually use this wonderful electronic do-daddery. you can't use the launch control more than 3 times (the computer logs it) before your warranty is voided. how incredibly stupid is that!!! a $146,000 sportscar that they wont let you drive as its sposed to be driven!!!! *grumbles*

spotted a bloke in white 32 gtr today. stickers on it. guages on the pillar. big kit. stock 32 gtr rims and a clearly audible multi-plate clutch at about 2pm. fyshwick.

drove right up to him and flashed and honked and waved etc and he was all very un-inspired by the whole thing. bloody non-sau snobs.

    • 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.
