Thought it was time for us to hit the track and burn some rubber. It also gives us a chance to put our sticker on the side to promote the business and have some fun.

I got the car in feb this year as a pretty clean car would have made a good cheap first car.

Most of the parts for it will be what we have around the shop custom made or our of china.

The car will receive

Gtr injectors

Nistune board

custom DMD high mount manifold heat wraped

china 50mm gate

Holset HX35 turbo rebuild kit done by us

custom 3 inch exhaust straight out exiting at side near rear passenger door

china cooler

custom cooler piping

blitz bov

DMD custom AFM good for 1000rwhp

4 inch inlet pipe

custom dash with gauges

stripped interior and sound deadning

cams weld in cage done by us

r32 gtst front brakes

DBA 4000 rotors

hawk semi comp pads

hydraulic handbrake

s13 front suspension conversion

s13 coilovers of some type

DMD spec oil cooler

Ford teritory re drilled rims to 4 stud and prob drift tek's what ever is cheap

just Jap bucket seat

it has an LSD

DMD custom MFD display with touch screen with every engine parameter

standard high comp RB30 220,000km on the clock

turbosmart boost tee

xtreem clutch

cryo treated gearbox

just Jap r31 front lip

bonnet pins

battery in boot

gtr steering rack modified for more throw to get more steering angle

I'm sure there will be something I missed which I will add later.

The car is an auto at the min and I will tune it with it as I want to run it at Calder and see what it runs. We are putting bets on how many runs it will take and how quick the car will go.

See the pics of where we are up to have got busy in the last week with a truck engine and a RB26 conversion in a R32 gtst.

We are also planing to maybe if the rb30 goes to put in a vh45de with twin Holset hx35's and a nistune

We also want to try have this car so we can use it fir track an other motorsport like deca or targa tas to give that a bash.

That's right mate this will have the smallest budget I have planed on to build a car it will be hitting the track with most of them parts put on in stages.

Gtr resistor all wired in last night just waiting foe the ecu to get back from nistune and find time to make the intake pipe and tune it

I was quite impressed on how the gtr steering wheel came up. It was out of the gtr I am building up but someone had pulled the leather off must have been worn our and painted it black. All the paint was cracked and stuffed so I sanded it all off.

Came off real easy and now has that swede type feel to it now quite grippy

Hey mate yep keeping them alive parts are cheap so perfect for the drift pig I say. Tossing up between running the 25 head I have one day but I think the single cam will do enough tyre burning with that turbo on it.

I have a smashed white car sitting outside for parts donor if need be.

I have also changed my mind on the gear box I have a spare gtr box that I'll mod up for rwd and weld up a custom tailshaft.

Coilovers will be on there way sometime next week I would say

Got the car up an running last night and after some stuffing around with the battery was dead flat got it going.

Here is two dyno sheets the first was with it NA straight out the headersand the second was the base play around last night at 11pm was only 9psi and round 11's pretty rich but didn't spend alot of time from the base tune I had for it.

it ramps up hard with the holset and hits the gate early around 2800 rpm and then flat lines. The auto and bald tires wouldn't be helping with making power so should have been a little more with good tires and a manual.

I will crank it up to 18psi tune it then hit Calder to see what it runs down the 1/4.

Pull the gearbox out and get it drift ready.

All set to tune it tonight after I've finished what I have to do for the day. I did some numbers and the auto looks to be loosing closer to 40% of the power so at the engine power with a manual it should be closer to 200rwkw rather then the 150 it's making now

A few issue last night when I turned up the boost. I thought I might have gotten away without yapping the plugs down and replacing the leads coil dizzy cap and rotor button I was wrong tuned it up and blowing out the spark. Will head down tomorrow morning and get some new gear while getting some oil filters for a few jobs I've got.

Run into a few more issues on the weekend managed to find an hour to get it on the dyno late sat night around 10pm. The inlet manifold gasket didn't like 18psi and made itself a nice little vac leak ouldnt expect much more from a 21 year old gasket and 230,000 km with a big turbo and some nice boost.

Looks like I will grab a full gasket set and do the head at the same time. Will also look to stick the die grinder in and give the head a port job and stick a bump stick in.

The auto realy doesn't like the boost either so need to ditch that as well

    • 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.
