If you're already locking up, increasing traction will help. Wider tyres.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that I had balding fail spec Nankang 215 tyres on some TTF 7" wide rims :D

But never fear, thanks to Hamish I have got those SSRs on the way. 8" front and 9" rear.

Should get a 245 on the back. That will definitely help.

... or just don't jump on the pedal so hard and pulse your braking.

costs $0, and it level up's your driving skills.

Well... It's only happened ONCE. And I learned my lesson. But the brakes still get to that "locking up" point too quickly. I can feel it.

Was pretty funny when I did it. Middle of Nepean Hwy in traffic. Made a big amount of smoke. People looked at me as if I was retarded.

Pretty embarrassing :D

woot. just bought a brand new unpainted OEM VW golf MK4 R32 kit.

now the question is, should I get the optional MK5 GTI style front bumper or should I get the regular MK4 R32 front bumper?

probably should just stick to MK4, cos putting a MK5 front is a lil wanky like R34 fronts on R32's. Mind you there's not that many guys no one who've done it.

huh? why are you searching for a front bumper when you have already bought a 'kit'?

i say go MK4 all over, that silver r32 with the black BBS rims looks porn

cos the kit can be supplied with an R32 front bar, or MK5 R32 style front bar. Same price, 100% polyurethane (no fibreglass), fits perfect etc. Gotta love aftermarket parts out of Europe... none of this half arsed stuff like jap aftermarket parts.

Yeah consensus seems to be that MK5 R32's should only exist on MK5's and not on MK4's. Pity no one's done it before (or if they have they've done some gaybo fibreglass conversion that looks shocking) so I can't tell if I like it or not.

so you have no idea what the mk5 front will look like on the mk4? sounds risky

nope. I know... that's what's shitting me... the fact that I can't visualise what it'd look like. Otherwise I'd have made the call and gone for it.

Pat spending money? I don't see that happening lol

On another note;

My engine fan has been replaced with a thermo fan due to the larger radiator.

Anyone know a good thermo fan controller? Im after one which reads ecu water temp signal, can set trigger point (85degrees) and will turn off when it reaches another set point. (80degrees)

Now go :D

You fan should run off a thermositor. Figure out if you can tap a frequency or voltage line coming out of it and then add one of these:

program in the relevant voltage/frequency that corresponds to the temp you want and off you go.

Has a temp on and cut off. Although im not sure how to wire in that if AC is on that it is always on...

Any chance you know where the 12v Aircon trigger wire should connect on the relay?

Thanks

    • 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.
