Been without my car all week, depressing shit, dunno how some people leave their cars at mechanics for months on end when you can do everything at home!!

coz they're lazy kunts

had my car almost 3 years now only been to a workshop once for a timing belt change. should've done that myself too

red goes faster

ah ok yeah that is a bit too far i just wanna get the kit and put it in myself, was looking at a DIY on here before, pretty straight forward job.

these MV kits seem to be the most popular but aparently are only available in SA or something?

they send the valvebody to you, then you send your stock one to them once you do the swap. like an exchange kinda deal. lots of ppl in melbs run them

id give mv automatics a call im sure they can work something out or you can try and find my old car because it had the mv automatics shift kit in it lol.

i seeee do they have a website or something?

is there different kits or "stages"? i want the one that helps change gears quicker/instantly

nah last time i checked they didnt have a website. the kit you want is the mv automatics stage II shift kit. i have an article on it in one of my old hot 4's magazine where one of the guys got one of these installed he said it was worth it and once i got one im the same its really good.

For all the work getting done, it's basically the same price to respray the whole car.

Vu said my paint is faded so colour matching won't be 100% perfect anyway, hence the full respray.

Either way, I'm stoked with the price I'm getting! Also getting the front guards pulled at the same time :ermm:

Have fun with that.

at least if Vu misses patches on your car it will be red under red, not white under orange like krysiisisiiisuiisiisisu's first attempt paint job :huh:

sweet. i think i'll wait till one comes up for sale on these forums. its not too urgent atm

Lol, I know you had an issue with Vu... But the job he did on my old car was amazing. I couldn't fault it.

We'll see how this one goes.

how much were you quoted for a full respray if you dont mind me asking?

My car is gonna be gone for 2 weeks while its resprayed :P Then a few 2-dayers for other work like gearbox etc.

Replacement car? My boss's old 1994 Magna. Lovely..

least you don't have to take the train 4/5 days a week

that doesn't say a lot since you couldn't fault a car that had been banana'd. :P
you mean drifteks?

-____-

doesnt pat already have dteks?

learn your wheels you dropkick.

Drifteks are multi-stud and have less aggresive angle on the spokes.

Uras are 5 stud, look much better and a japanese company.

(To Funky; even IF you claim dteks and uras' are made in the same factory, would like to see proof on this, that doesnt mean it is the same. Material, tolerence limits and quality make the product. Just because they are in the same building doesnt mean they all follow the same requirements/limits. )

I'll pay that :)

But seriously, they did a great job. Especially given the crappy asian bodykit I provided them with.

fuck you. they're both cheap shitty knockoff wheels regardless of where your high and mighty ass wants to source them from. you wanna pull the material tolerance engineering card, fuck your ghetto ass, go get some TE37's and do it right. Don't try and validate your ghettoness.

Uras and Driteks can both suck on my nutts.

    • 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.
