oh hardy har har!!!

well any way... one of the spark plugs was coroded and broken away so the ring was stuck in the block.... so 30mins turned into a half an hour and the 33 is a little harder than the 32 cause things are in a more pain in the arse spot but still isnt that hard.

thanks to kiwi ingenuity and a fat screw driver, a hammer and a fat c clamp we got the thread out without pulling it apart :D plus the engine was ****ing hot so i had to pull shit off that was hot as hell.

still took less than an hour and a half inc a phone call and a beer :)

I dunno about 30 mins.

Maybe if your a frigging machine and have ALL the tools pre-setup

I'd prefer to take my time and do it properly.

I reckon an hour is fair. With a beer in the middle lol!

I can show someone if they BYO tools, i aint got many ATM.

Oh, and you supply plugs too

ROFL ash i know you had to get someone to change your plugs :rolleyes:

yes it can be a bit of a bitch i would say 1 hour tops

30mins max... maybe 45
i can do my 32 in half an hour... there aint much difference bw that and a 33...

oh 30 minutes turned into half an hour? :confused:

Bah.

It's not that hard.

You just need tools... and patience. (guess which of those two i dont have)

But if people want i can show.

I aint done it before myself, but i've been shown a few times now.

So it cant be too hard ;)

Yeah, but Gerald showed me what to do etc.

He went through it all nice and slowly so i didnt forget LOL!

So im gonna try myself now ;)

Cant be that hard. Yeah a bit of a challenge, but nothing impossible.

its piss easy... except when things like this happen.... ;)

i should have taken pics of the step by step process to make it easier for people rather than reading a step by step guide of nothing but text.

next time i spose.

Nige pulled my plugs out, regapped em and put them back in, in about 10 mins in between tuning coz of a miss up high.

But i dont have the cover or the stock return pipe in the way.

Yeah, the two things that are a pain for the normal person.

Plus he would have had tools out.

We are talking from go-to-whoa in the plugs.

dont come here with how quick they do it.

This is 'Average Joe' mechanics :Bang:

just like what 31Nismoid said, from watching how inark did it, doesnt seem hard, just need the correct tools and remembering where each  hose you unpluged came from.  Damn there were a few hoses :D dont think i'll be able to remeber them all. heh

actually its impossible to get the hoses mixed up due to the fact they all are different sizes.

i tried the platinums and never again will i use them.

i stick with the cheapies which seem to do a job just as good as the others.

    • 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 馃槀 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.
