+1 pm with price if you want.

And maybe a drum of 3000 for the daily too.

I can get a price for that, I'm possibly going to get one of that too; I reckon it might be a bit over $100.

Cool. Is that from a chain parts store at retail or a trade only supplier?

Their head office is not far from me; so it was at their main warehouse.

I'm sure you'll be able to get them from an oil wholesaler though.

I got the passenger seat fitted today and cleaned the interior quickly, it's got to look its best for the dyno tomorrow. :)

Also a pic of the stock looking engine bay. The cover makes a difference.

Looks comfy in there mate!

Some black silicone joiners, some satin black paint; factory spec.

I never found the engine cover fitted particularly well once the spacer was in - did you put some risers on the front bolts or just encourage it to bend a little to get some purchase on them?

This weeks Stagea related activity appears to have been borking my turbo. :(

Seems last weekend's cruise was a bit too much. Weird; because I was taking it easy too...

Onward & upward eh? :whistling:

What's the plan then? Hypergear?

If only you had somewhere you could take it to do the turbo work for you... :whistling:

Sounding a bit suspect is it mate?

I ditched the spacer. ;)

Ouch, How big are you going?

Whatever you do, dont go to that Stagea HKS bro garage joint. (heard bad things). lol.

Probably not; been talking with Craig, and I'll be going with something that he's recommending.

He's driven a lot of different combinations, built by a bunch of turbo builders; so I trust his judgement.

It has a very strange whine emanating from it now; and that's in addition to the standard whine.

Still boosting fine, and doesn't seem to be rubbing; but who know's how long that will last.

Had to happen eventually; I reckon it's been living borrowed time for a while now. I'm currently at 103,000km (plus whatever the mandatory haircut adds) so it's done ok.

Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be joining the powah war. :/

I really want to keep the response close to the stocker; so it's going to be small.

The cruise the other night just reinforced to me that I don't want a lagmaster; it's really nice with the handling it has, it's devastating point to point on a windy road.

I don't want to lose that; I just want to have the really good midrange of the stocker with maybe a bit of potential down the track for a handful of extra KW's IF I choose to go a bit more boost and aftermarket management.

That's still a way down the track (if at all) and I don't want to regret going too big in the interim.

I have a 170rwhp, 300km/h bike that makes any car look stupid (does 164km/h in first gear), so I don't need the car for my speed fix.

I've heard bad things about that workshop too; have you seen the bloke who runs it? :P

YES! I agree Dale :thumbsup: (but you already knew that, lol).

just a suggestion i had a strange whinning noise that i thought was the turbo lacking oil on startup would last a little while and then go away. it was like a nasty queeling noise and eventually i traced it down to the belts on the front of the motor needed some dry lube, WD40 done jack sh*t but helped me find it as its not easy to get ur hand past the clutch fan to lube it up.

dont know if this helps but anythings worth a shot!!!

    • 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.
