Hey Ben, any word if those holes weaken the bar excessively?

It looks good and should send more air towards the cooler. Very nice.

BTW, where did you pick up the inserts?

yeah, i didn't realise renaults could go so well :D

its funny you should mention that. i was removing some parts from the wreck today. no nissan branding on them. there was renault tho lol

Im sure it must loose some strength... hopefully not too much!

Picked up the inserts from Just Jap $165 Link HERE

Make sure you use R33 inserts not R32 as they have different curves on the insert lip

un opened motor on BP Ultimate.....oh and 15-16psi!

nice result.... query - what size injectors?

my rb25 with 3076IW runs S15 450cc injectors, around 85% duty cycle for 250@wheels. thinking if I add in 550's would get a similar result to yours.

the 370's stockies maxed at 225kw@wheels

The start isn't conclusive as the torque converter isn't locked and the car will kick back if not at a certain speed. You can see the converter locking as the dip at the start.

Rev limit is set at 7200 but they usually shift by 6500 anyway.

Not bad for a GT3071 in the stock housings, Garret .82 wont do that much better, its down around 10kw less than their housings by the looks of it.

May have to upgrade. lol.

might rebuild mine again if im not happy after wednesday :P

I guess its designed to crush during an accident, so it will still serve most of its purpose there. However, the front tow hook also mount onto it- I wouldn't expect it would have the strength to put it out of a bog/ditch anymore. Not much of an issue really, its not like we treat them like a Landcrusier! Except maybe Craig...

Ben - Taste is personal, good on ya for making it your own. If you like it, thats all that counts!:thumbsup:

Thanks man...

I've got 610cc in there....still room to move if I wanted as the highest duty cycle in have seen so far is 67%....that was a run to the end of third gear....I HAD to overtake a couple of semi's! ;)

its surprisingly hard!

it disfigured in stephens accident but didnt twist or bend the rails. the entire car is dead straight. that bar took all the major damage.

I'd suggest plating the inside edges with some sheet alloy, then welding. That will give back a fair bit of strength.

It will also stop them filling up with small birds etc... :whistling:

Kudos mate, looks great!:thumbsup:

Spent a few hours cleaning the boat yesterday; quick wash, clay, swirl remove, polish, wax. Christ my right shoulder hurts :rofl:

Highlighted how badly my front bar needs to be fixed up too, lots of little chips at the front. The paint is silky smooth to touch now though.

looks great tho duncan. perhaps ask chipsaway (the company) for a touchup quote?

Cheers mate.

Yeah, I would if I didnt need more work done on the front bar - Ive got some cracks in the fiberglass on the passenger side near the headlights :( When I get that fixed up (and the dent above the drivers front wheel arch!) I'll get them to touch up/respray the front bar.

I know some of you are gonna be wanting shift kits installed in the upcoming weeks.

Well Im delaying my tune for about a fortnight - a month as I dont want to have slipping issues.

for the Vic Stagea owners, RVO Automatics in dandenong just quoted me $550.00 for an RE5RO5A(M35 box) Stage two Shift kit..... Installed! I had to ask him three times before he turned around and said "I own a C34 - I know what an M35 is" Lol

if anyone can tell me why I shouldnt take it there, I'de like to know as Im booked in next wednesday :P

Nice work Aaron! :)

No reason why you wouldn't take it there as I have not heard any negative things about RVO.

He knows the transmission.

He knows the car (!!!!)

The price is good.

I guess the only questions is workmanship, but someone has to be the guinea pig ;)

    • 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.
