Where did you get the brake adapters made?

Also on your splitter, do you have any pics please showing how you attached the ply to the garden edging? I'm guessing 90 degree alloy edging cut into small pieces

Pauly D is making them for me, can't wait to see the difference in braking!

They're little right angle brackets with a hole on each side. i got them from bunnings

and that bonnet and catches, so HAWWWWT

Thanks man. :thumbsup:

never really cared how it looked (in fact always prefered go>show) but now i want carbon all over it ! sooo light and good looking :)

car looking good mate, any more details on the brake dog bones?

is he able to make any for R33 GTST > 330mm rotors?

I'll have to ask, he was doing them as a favour for me. but im going a bit of a different way now - see below

this things a rig!!! love it!!

thanks man, means a lot coming from someone with a car like yours :)

i have just ordered a new Sparco Pro 2000 as i need to log book my car. i want to enter the CAMS NSW supersprints and apparently i fall into 4D category. i need add a couple of extra roll bars in too.

I also just ordered some new front brakes. Wilwood 4 pot superlites? they are a 330mm 2 piece rotor so should stop alright now. budget end of braking i know but should work really well i think.

  • 3 weeks later...

Brakes came last week. Got them trial fitted while waiting for some safty wire to show up.

Thanks mang :)

Finally bit the bullet and bought an R33 gearbox, was $800 and local so couldn't say no.

I have two events this month, 1st is the SAU texi at Sutton and the 2nd is a TCC Interclub SS at wakie on the 27th. It will be the last drive until Nationals as my first born is due June 1st, im guessing I’ll be too tired for anything else :)

Got a bit to do over the next week so stay tuned for updates.

New seat will be put in this weekend and im going to make up some boot/wing supports to stop it flexing as well.

Saftywire finally came, bolts got all wired up.

not too bad for my first go at it.

all fitted up, will be bled tomorrow and bedded in.

(bought a pair of S13 BC coilovers for the front to replace the S14 ones it had)

yep, im a lucky sob.

took the dip at the SAU Texi day too quick and this is the result

LH LCA, castor rod and camber tops all came loose and moved. the only damage to the suspension was two of the camber plate bolt on the rh got bent when it moved in.

    • 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.
