Finally got my gas struts regassed today; no more getting belted in the back of the head when I throw backpackers in the boot.

Guess I'll have to get a bat or something to knock them out now.

This has been on my To-Do list for, oh, about 5 years now...

Nice!

Can you get the sedan in a manuel, or are they all auto?

7-speed auto in the KV36 with the 3.7 motor for JDM, but the US got a 6-speed manual... :-) But I do have flappy paddles now!!

looks good smile.gif I'll have to have a think about what I want to do! there is a good satisfaction I suppose when you do it yourself! :cheers:I know there is some pretty good instructions on how to do it on here.. using those magic bar things after the washhave attached an rtf document a made when I copied the instructions off one of the posts long ago biggrin.gifattachicon.gifCar Care.rtf

Nice instructions for car detailing... I'm off to Supercheap Auto :)

Timing belt replaced, fuel filter replaced, airflow meters cleaned, finally found an r33 Gtr aircon compressor but found that the 260rs lines are bigger than the r33 compressor, so now need to find r33 Gtr lines, also purchased a twin 2/1/2 in exhaust off an r33 that I'll get modded to fit, also found the suspension I purchased of eBay was s tune so just sorting out ordering new replacement front shocks, not bad for $65

busy day!

I replaced the factory radiator because it had sprung a leak while towing to Bulldelah with a cooling pro one from Just Jap. Actually I'm pretty surprised the original lasted over 300,000klm including about 120,000klm with the 3l.

Finished off doing a blue dash light conversion today after a few weeks with out a speedo due to dirt and no globes. Also had my car finally back on the road a month or so ago after a second hand motor went in after a yr of being off the road. And also de badged the grill today as well of the stag emblem and the rs four badge

It's the Dolphin LED :) mine is the smoked version but you can get the clear LED version. Got it from Yahoo Japan through import monster.

As 66yostagea said the grill is the N/A Grille.

Finally got all the parts needed and had my e-Manage Ultimate installed and tuned last weekend.. Many thanks to Scott & Cihan :worship:

Well worth it IMHO and very happy with the power gains and the attitude of the car. Has made a big difference.. notably in responsiveness and mid range torque. Mods already done include full 3" turbo back exhaust with scotty dump, Turbosmart BOV, Turbotech Boost Controller, Blitz filter, v35 'power duct'. Still running stock turbo, intercooler, injectors, wastegate actuator, fuelpump (soon to be replaced by Walbro). Car made ~180awkw @18psi :thumbsup::D Probably next on the list will be intercooler (and maybe a high flow :w00t:)

Hey Guys

Just thought I'd share what I've done to my M35 since buying it in December, it's an 02 Axis.

Tein wagon adjustable coilovers

Dronell 20x9.5 2 piece wheels

Freeway dolphin 80mm cat back exhaust

Brake upgrade to go on next week!

    • 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.
