go front strut bar and sway bars.... front and back.... even with stand springs and shocks, you will still easily out manevour most cars....

you trying to get me broke?! :)

you keep giving me ideas to add more mods to the car, probably end up doing a RB25DET engine transplant and a T88 and nos.... :headspin:

yeh but dont forget exhaust...will be lower than your standard one

not really benny boy... max piping size for NA should only be 2.25 inch catback and muffler size is almost same as stock....

you go anything more than 2.25, you will lose back pressure.... less torqy....

ME giving you ideas?? :confused:

i would go handling first..... no point spending thousands to squeeze a few more KWs outa the car...

awesome handling makes you a better driver...

I've got a twin cannister 3.5" exhaust sitting in the garage :)

ya, I'm going for tyres first Glenn costing me a butt load too.... almost half my uni tuition.

can sometimes even be just be the gaskets or rubber mountings.. gaskets are like $2.50 to replace

where can i get this checked out? at a normal garage???

yup.. not cheap..

krawler: no.. they're just spring and shock setup.. i sold my old set for $200, they were sitting around for ages

Doesnt coil over simply mean the coil is over the shock?

Meaning that most cars are coil over factory.. The term coil over is normally targetting adjustable gear though.

i know... It was on the NA, but got it taken off for compliancing.. and power loss.

now i'm stuck with a stupid rattle.

get 2 jacks and a creepboard.... rip out the heat shield....

if not the heat shield... hammer the resonator gently to check for rattling...

i think the difference is.. with coilovers, the shock is actually welded to the bottom of the spring, and they are basically one unit and cannot be separated. Most things can be adjustable.

With a spring and shock setup the springs and shocks can be separated and changed independently. In that setup you can adjust the shock, but not the actually spring height or anything like that.

    • 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.
