yes all ... well it had to happen!!!

freezing my a$$ off on the freeway by myself for half and hour after having ur car F@@@ up on ya isnt the best feeling in the world! and seeing like 5 skylines fly past didnt help either!!!:D

iv been told it may not be the clutch but maybe the driveline..

cos the car starts in gear and the rear wheels spind (when spun by hand) when in gear..

guess ill have to postpone the FMI and take it some where to see whats up..

not impressed at all!!!!

na after i found out the 5K lauches were bad i stopped doin them..

btw thanx ryan for letting me make like 5million phone calls from your phone!!!

The car starts in gear ? This would be one of the first things to indicate a blown clutch.

Ummm....sounds like clutch, again, the gearbox would allow the rear wheels to free spin if the clutch was not clamping. interesting..if that was the case the clutch must of destoried itself completely and really badly.

Driveline stuff usually either packs it in over a period of time and you know its coming or it just goes BANG...but you would of surely heard something, or see stuff broken.....

my two cents....

And it does sound like you've been trashing it...5k lanuchs...tisk tisk.....Tryouts for the Fast and Furious 2 ???

Hard luck Eug, was it the stock clutch? It was just a bit strange that it suddenly went like that. My clutch slipped for a month or so till it finally wouldn't move the car. Was around the corner from the mechanics when it died. My dad towed me in my old pulsar, but i too had badly injurred the clutch in that too, in the end we got to the mechanics with 2 cars and 2 dead clutches.:D

Yeah thats what I was thinking ?30 PSI...Like having a speedo with 320 kph on it...no point

A gearbox broke on a standard setup....my limited knowledge is telling me that I doubt that very much unless someone has flat shifted or shifting without the clutch alot....maybe multiple k launchs too...

I'd get a second opinon as well...The gearboxs are suppose to be on standard, even mild to mid setups.

Nick might be able to comment here...

I know the synchros are usually rooted from Jap driving styles, they lean on 4th gear and put pressure on the shifter while driving, also the amount of highways they have, they tend to use 5th alot, which is basically a overdrive gear anyway...so at worst the synrchos would be rooted....

but a broken gearbox on a car with what about 65-68k on it...doubt it

my two cents

Im no gearbox expert, but the only way you blow a gearbox if thrashing the **** of out of as peak said. Having said that the box could have had issues so user abuse might not be the case. Either way it normally would take some harsh treatment to break.

Good luck getting it all sorted out Eugene....!

get a loan and throw in a trust 6 speed :D

lol thanx guys. i got a loan for the car..

i dont need more debts..

the guy said it could be from the way it was driven in jap, he gets alot of 180s that ppl have for a few weeks and gear box just goes for np apparent reason..

so whats this rocket industries thing??

i want it to go to 30psi for the same reson that ppl get guages to 2bar instead of 1.5bar..

im thinking ahead...

in that FAR future when i changet the turbo and a sh1t load of other things ill prob. be running more than 20 psi.. i hate doing things twice!

thats,, :D

To tune a R33GTS-t to run boost safely at 20+psi, I rekon you'd almost be able to get a R32 GTR, if you used the money spendt on mods plus the sale of your car.

After Computer, headgasket, clutch, intercooler, injectors, fuel pump and regulator, oil cooler, oil catch can.......uuummm the list would be endless.

Don't get me wrong, it'll be an awsome piece of work...but perfer a GTR....I know you said "FAR" into the future...But I was going to do the same...holding back until I get the cash saved for the GTR.

I'm not even buying mags for my R33....just want that GTR. :D

Nah...I'm waiting till I have enough cash saved to buy a R32GTR outright, maybe end this year to mid next year.

Then I can sell the R33 GTS-t and use the cash off the sale of that for Mods and Full Comprehensive Insurance (with all mods listed too).

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
