Woo HOO I got my stickers today, and I think he packed in an extra so I got all 3 now :) might go home and wash those parts off and stick them on, as then it'll be sitting at Gav's for a while, might do a bit of advertising for the site :D although I think a lot of the people who go there are from here :D

smooth: too late. Just got back.. I was down there earlier. **** that area is a BROTHEL. I was paranoid about my car getting wiped out by trucks, crazy tradeys and god knows who else. Worst possible street for it, so narrow, no room for parking, etc and you can barely get into the actual workshop car area itself to park. Be very careful if you go down its seriously dangerous.

..but in good news..

NEW SIDESKIRTS!!

Ended up getting blitz ones as they fill the line a lot better and come down low like the front bar. Should look pretty tough onces its all fitted. Ended up being $350 which was a bit more than what I wanted to pay (was expecting $300), but as long as they come up nicely doesn't really matter.

Here is my amazing "artists" rendition.. Bit hard to picture them on though.

not too traffic island friendly though! going to have to watch that :D

thanx :D Photoshopping is kinda my gig.. but not getting me work in that area at the moment.

I am sure they will look much better once painted... i just kind of stuck them there (notice the sticks :)) I'm amped to go and find some panel shops now, just get it all finished and back to "normal". Will do that next few days. Its been some 3 months I've had to drive it along all stuffed up like that.

Going to chase some panel shops up this week. Hopefully book it in next week if I can. So not too long.

Wing stays. In fact once I get it all fixed up, may well be putting it up forsale -- so no point stuffing with it too much.

lol - yeah drifto style - if only the reality was so glamourous.. hence my sig :)

yeah, i know :) but just want something bit cheaper and faster -- and to make it faster would cost me another $5k, as its already maxed out really with the stock turb .. would like to buy a house soon and considering importing a couple of cars b4 the 15 year rule to turn a few quick bux -- if its at all going to be possible before they end it.

Would still be a nissan turbo - just more around $12k than $20k.

    • 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.
