hippy

dont underestimate the autos. im very pleased with mine.

i run 10psi with pod, cold air ind, full 3'' exhaust, and stock turbo+cooler.

mine was running brilliant with stock exhaust and other above mods, but as soon as i put the exhaust on i found it was dumping way to much fuel so i need to buy a safc to still run boost that high.

u guys got non stock turbs and fmic?? how much power?? i think my car would have about 130rwkw ... i've got a full exhaust, pod, and bleeder at about 10psi or so ... how did u guys get it to boost over 12 psi ... i get the feul cut if i go over that ... i got a safc in there but its untuned ... i think the car is really slow ;)

knore so yours is a Auto? how is it holding up?

Shes holding up in the shed at the moment, little too fast i guess :headspin:

Will be coming out better than ever though, got new 400r front bar, ordering Either Jun or Veilside rear bar

bought 2 sets of sideskirts .. Trail/Xtreme so i can choose hehe

picked up an SAFC2 .. brand new.. ofcourse

in the next few weeks im getting AVCR, Hybrid monster IC, Dump Pipe and probably a higher flow cat

so once all is on and safc tuned.. will be looking forward to a willowbank meet!

2rite on dont underestimate the auto, do the RIGHT things and youll beat a manual of same mods, i was shitty with mine untill i drove both properly and wreaked the benefits of never loosing boost and changing quicker than any human in more of a gear flow than a gear change

like i said tho, dont go out thinking youve got a drag shifter etc

spend the money on the rite things and you will shock some people

How much timing you running? Ever had it checked? My stock auto was very slow and sluggish so I tried bumping up the timing a tad and it made a world of difference, not just in the feel but measurable difference (eg dropping .9 off my 0-100, probably a clean second off if I bothered to launch abit harder). Thats quite a difference... and took less than 5 minutes... or about 15 minutes if I bothered to do it right with a HT lead between the 1st coil and used a timing light...

    • 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.
