Woot. Coils, sways and hicas lock goin in tomorrow. Can't wait :D

How did you survive this long without any of those? I mean, stock suspension for superior acceleration, but no hicas lock or sways? them's cheap easy first mods mang.

the joys of buying from the US and getting a cd player for half price shipped than what you get here :D

where from?

i need a single din headunit with usb mp3 capability...

that panasonic in my car is getting dated, cds, pffft, who uses cds nowadays..

got one for the golf too during their Black Friday sale thing. lol @ local shops, even with their christmas sale couldn't match it.

Only sucky part is that the US uses some homo Digital Radio frequency, whereas Australia uses a good quality frequency with a higher sample rate... which means buying digital radio tuners from the US isn't gonna work :(

I still use CDs :P If I plug my iPhone in it tends to go flying whenever I take a corner quickly.

So it's never actually flown then?

I've got a stack of SD cards, picked up 20 512mb ones for like $20 off fleabay. They're slow class 1 or 2 SD's but fuck, all they do is hold MP3's. Takes up little space and easy as to put music onto and you can leave it in your car.

That way I have a different SD for different genres etc.

well turns out the cd player will work as long as the FM frequency is in the Australian frequency range of 87.9MHz - 107.9MHz it'll be fine and this one is

apparently the AM is shit but no one listens to it anyway

of course, but its regular payments so financially the ghd would be a better long term solution.

wtf? homo

peasant frequency FM is fine, US and AU are the same. US Digital Radio is different to AU Digital Radio tho, just like them backward nga's are still running around with CDMA phones in half the country while we're cruising mad 3G's.

    • 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.
