Finally got my other project out of the way and starting putting it back together today.

Reunited at long last

New brake booster and master cylinder, have a rebuild kit for the clutch master cyl that I will get on to once I get some circlip pliers.

New engine loom going in

PWR radiator & in-tank oil cooler test fitting. All looking pretty good. Top pins are about 5mm out, and the factory brackets need to be flipped but all looks to sit well. I did have to bend a small lip on the car at the bottom in front of the radiator so that it didn't foul but only a few mm. Aiming to have the fuel tank and most of the wiring back in tomorrow.

Steel steering blush replacement for the rubber one has arrived going in tonight.

Also need to get a replacement dust cover for the input to the rack. Literally just touched it when cleaning the subframe and it fell apart. Apparently there is a toyota rubber one that is the same size and fits well.sristeerspacer.jpg

How the fk do you get the time to do this? Please let me know if you have managed to clone yourself!

Ha I wish. Yeah just slowly chip away at it. Good to have a space where it can just sit and you can put time in where you can.

Hi Paul

I am most impressed with the level of detail you have gone to. I am just embarking on a R32 build myself using the good fellows at Racepace so I am feeling rather inspired now after reading all the posts on this thread. Good luck with finishing it mate. I will start my own build thread I think. Ev.

Solid steering bush in, also grabbed the dust boot of my spare 34 rack - a little different but its rubber and fits up pretty well. Will do the trick seeing it wont be driven on the road.

Thanks Evan. Is your car already at Racepace? Was there on Thursday and there was a white 32 that looks like the one in your sig - a nice example! Get on to the build thread for sure.

Yes very tough! Should be even meaner once all the junk is removed from inside. Cage should look good too. Got to decide how that will look as well. I might make a hybrid of yours or Duncan's perhaps..

    • 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.
