Just got back from the Mechanic payed an unanounced visit to see how things were going, well all is good to say the least after the car had been to another mechanic 2-3 months ago to have the boost controller set up(which was not done ) and I asked for this to be done as well as a report on anything the car needed doing to make it spoton as I had just bought it the car had been on the dyno lost a heap of power and none of the problems were found like the leaking turbo base gasket and the leaking exhaust gasket bolts missing and a cracked turbo manifold,but he did tell me I needed a halteck computer at $4000 mine was ok and could be sold. Well he did himself out of a heap of dollars the new bloke is nothing short of a legand he has had the turbo resurfaced the the manifold repaired and resurfaced the waste-gate to bits and new springs and the list goes on as well as saveing me a heap of dollars that I was prepared to spend just to get the car right. He said I would not believe it was the same car when I get it back he fixed the bits that needed fixing and in the long run will save me heaps of cash and the car will not be off the road every other week and has kept me up to date with the whole deal while he has had the car.

So if you are in need of a straight shooting no crap value for money mechanic that will look after your car like you do give Rob a call 0402 985 475 or drop in he is at Advanced automotives at Kings Meadows opposite Cash converters Tell him Ginger sent you when I go back Friday I am going to hit him up for a descount for SAU members keep you posted on how that goes :ph34r:

Jangles Im hearing you but there are two things that matter in all this my car and my money and Rob has come through in both cases when others have let me down and the other guys n girls out there need to know when one finds a genuine mechanic as we all need one from time to time and a good one is hard to find that aint got his hand in ur ass pocket all the time for shit you dont need :D

Car is comeing along nicely just waiting for the final touches on the head and then it can be put back together, be good to get it back.

Rob came to the party with some discount for SAU members 5% and that is on your daily driver as well just as long as you are a member and mention that when you are talking to him. Who knows we push a bit of work his way and we may be able to push him for 10 % and that will be good for me as well as everyone else ;)

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
