That is clean as!

Epic Win!

It looks stock but are you planning on any mods?

Not planning anything major other then to maintain (increase) reliability.

Looking at stainless turbos and a new ECU (Power FC). Probably a new driver's seat (Bride) and an Aussie (well german - Blaupunkt) stereo - that's about it.

Sounds good!

What turbos you thinking off?

Stainless turbos?

I think he means Steel Internal Turbo's.

There are much better ecu options around than the outdated PFC too.

I believe PFC's are still good and they work very well.

It would be my next step up from the Nistune, I am going for.

Doh - ofcourse not stainless (stoopid SS acronym as in HKS GT-SS ;-)

looking at simple N1 or 2530's or GT-SS........the jury is still out and research to be done - just want to get rid of the ceramics as a future potential problem.

And while on the subject of Doh - seeing this my first Skyline - can someone enlighten me on what is the measurement of the numberplate well at the back ?? Presumably the standard 372mm plates don't fit (have seen many 'bendies') but would appreciate an idea of what plates would fit neatly (thinking 5 digit slimline??)

From memory the Ceramic Turbines are 20+ year old Garrett T28 Turbines.

N1 = Garrett -7 / Garrett -9

Garrett -9's have a marginally smaller Compressor Wheel compared to the Garrett -7.

But allow for more top end as the configuration / pitch angle of the turbine blades is different.

HKS GT-SS = Garrett -9, but with a different Turbine Housing.

Good for response and perfect for street performance.

HKS GT2530 = Garrett -5, but with a slightly bigger Compressor Wheel.

Would be "laggy" for street unless you rebuild the RB26 / 2.6lt HKS V-Cam or go for a 2.8lt / RB28 HKS V-Cam.

I got the standard VIC Roads Slimline Plates and they are 'bendies'.

You'd have to go custom slimline if you were to make them fit without bending them.

After 6 months of hard work I've finally bought another skyline. :D specs: '00 34gt 5sp, Work CR Kai 17's, C-West kit, HKS adjustable coilovers, heavy duty button clutch, 2.5 Kakimoto zorst and has a GTR mfd. I'll try take more photos when I have the time to. :cheers:

    • 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.
