Still not sure where I want to take it, everyone says go to efi but their prices are a bit high, I've had bad experiences with recommended tuners before, the people with no recommendations are always more willing to fix their mistakes.

That's if your engine survives their mistakes!!! Do you want to risk a $10,000 rebuild for the sake of a few hundred dollars? The tune is the most important element in the process.

i see your point, judging by how its running now it will only need a quick touch up anyway. im gonna give efi a call tomorrow and get it booked in. just a question, ive never had a car tuned that didnt have a boost guage, should i temporarily install the one from my wifes car for the tune??

My cars tuned and it still doesn't have a boost gauge

:P

I attempted to help Brad install my headrest monitors, we got them all in and got the headunit fixed up. Now we have 4 screens running for our trip over to Melbourne for Gymkhana :thumbsup:

Brake rotors were finished and sent Friday, so just waiting for them to arrive and fit up. Waiting for lots to arrive at the moment...

Want to do mine? I'm so bloody lazy...:rolleyes:

bit of a prick to do but luckily cos i have the plenum spacer i didnt have to take the inlet manifold off too :)

about a 3hr job taking my time to do it carefully.

disconnect all the wiring around the left bank.......... because i disconnect the cam sensor is that going to cause a drama when i go to start it up again ?

Yeh, I've got the spacer too.

I'll be doing mine this week I think. You shouldn't have any issues with engine light as long as you don't turn on the key with any wiring disconnected.

4? where's the forth one mounted?

How hard is it to do these headrest screens? how do you run the cable through the seat?

I have the standard one in the dash, and the 7" pop out one in the headunit. Plus two in the headrests.

Headrest screens aren't that hard, but I sucked at it. Brad was running wire through the seat backs, because there is a void in there, but I sucked at getting the wire through the seat, because there's the metal frame you have to work around.

You need patience to do it, and I don't have enough >_<

I've got a mate who works at Tower Audio who'll do it but he's pretty busy. Not sure if I'm brave enough to attempt this myself...

Might just stick with wifi streaming for the time being

Don't you just unzip the cover at the back & lay them in? Anyway,that will keep the passengers entertained.

And you have a heap of stuff coming if I recall - you are going to be a busy lad over the next little while.:happy:

Apparently they're a pain to rezip and resecure, so we used wire. Not too difficult really, just have to be patient threading the wire through.

Yep, big collection: Rotors, braided lines, shift kit, BCs, wireless reverse camera being the main stuff. Also got pads, adjustable rear toe arms and Informeter which still haven't made it in. Looking forward to getting it all installed :thumbsup:

Headrests are not that hard to put in. Like Ryan said you need patience. I fed a banana shaped bit of wire down the back of the seat. Some times you get it first go other times I just want to throw tools. And if you unzip the seats and undo the plastic lip at the bottomm its a bitch to get back together.

    • 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.
