my cover is off as it does not fit with the plenum spacer fitted.

I think it is better with the cover off as that plenum gets sooo hot that I figure any extra air you can get to it to keep it cool is good.

Looks nice...

Cheers

Oh sweet thanks for the info on the optioned parts.

dimi, the wheels are of a v35. i didnt like them at first but they do suit it sooo well for stock looking rims!... i reckon they need to come out about 10-15mm more! and it should sit awesome...

atm the coilovers are set all the way to raised! so ive got about 20mm to drop them. it should sit reallllly good when i drop it, but ill drop it after compliance!

the car sits stupidly low, in terms of everything underneath isnt far from the ground! so i was originally planning on putting 19's on the car but looks like il have to go bigger just to keep the car sitting higher! maybe even 21inch! ( lol id never thought id say i want 21's on my car ever!)

Jetwreck- No i havent, where would the ecu be? im full noob with stageas.

The ECU is located under the dash on the passengers side of the car....just pull the black under-tray off and stick you header under there if you see something that looks like the picture below with the Nismo sticker on it....let me know so I can come and replace it with a standard one for you! :down:

i spent all morning cleaning underneath the car... it almost looks brand new lol. i wish i took photos. maybe when were at compliance if they put it on the hoist. cbfed jacking it up!

cant wait to get it back from compliance and actually drive it! oh and adjust the coilovers to all the way low lol!!!

Jet im going to run outside now and have a look at the computer

OMG OMG OMG OMG

..................

DONT have a nismo ecu :down: hahahah

probably did have one....the owner in Japan more than likely put the standard ECU and sold yours....probably the one I bought of IM recently!

lol......only kidding!

Nice car btw!

Wait till you drive it! It's quicker than a cruiser and quite surprising so the bug will bite. Let me know when you're manufacturing a dump pipe as I would like to buy one.

My cover is off as well... except mine is off by choice (or lazyness) as the PM35 bonnet is quite a bit higher in the middle than the normal early model bonnet (should've gone with a 35mm runner spacer perhaps? :D).

+1 to the rest (see, I told you - lazy)

Love the remote start/stop btw :D

rich, i have a bug, but its a v.i.p bug. im going to be turning the car in to as best i can, a very good example of a v.i.p car. i will keep you in the loop about the dump pipes. what size? 2.5? 3?

ill be going a bit of a different way around it than usual. the only bolts that will be on the exhaust will be where it bolts to the turbo...

ill pm you :D

Let me know if you can make me a dump pimp also. I am looking to get my exhaust done. :D

I recon you might change your mind about the bolts once you try to remove the Dump pipe...... LOL

Possibly referring to a V-band clamp arrangement for flange jointing; quick, neat, no leaks, and good for fine tuning fitment of pipework.

    • 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.
