Last weekend, my mate installed the BC BR coilovers on my ARX. Using out of the box height and dampening settings (for now).  Pulled out the Nismo springs which I'll put up for sale later on.

Put her in for a safety certificate as she is currently being sold. (Sad couple of weeks ahead). Also need to replace roof lining and install the Greddy Profec B II i have sitting in garage for new owner.

Put on another rear wing.

The silver one was a bit short for my liking.

This one came 1350mm long which I cut down on my drop saw to 1220mm.

Gonna spray my mirrors black too.

Now I can carry sheet material on my roof :happy:

no mate, they're off ebay

just relocated the mounts to suit the hatch, bolted through into the drain void.

filled and touched up the holes in the wing, underneath and so close to the roof you can't see them

mounted with sikaflexed rubber pads

Replaced Greddy IGN chip with another one and hey it works, no CEL.

Had Jez replace my rocker gaskets, and while it was apart replaced my injectors.

I had 570cc "Denso Australia" reman injectors, and had terrible starts and poor fuel consumption. 360km to a tank./ 6km per litre.

These also had leak down.

Bought used R35 injectors and what a difference !

Car starts perfectly, economy way way better, 9km per litre, and my exhaust is 10db quieter.

I've been mucking around with silencers trying to get it under 100db with minimal restriction.

These shit injectors, give such bad atomization, hence why I was high risk of DET, causing loud exhaust tone.

Also don't have rough idle anymore, and that rasp in the rev range is almost gone completely.

Thanks Matt for the info.

wow, no CEL anymore!

Hmm where the hell do I start...

So I found these three split hoses, one of which seems to have been taped up at some point on both ends because they had splits,

And the other one that goes into the cam cover broke clean out... but that also looks like it had some sealant stuff holding it in there (not sure if that's how it came from the factory)

So the whole mission was just to get to the spark plugs and coils.. who the heck made this process so long.

Here's a photo of where the hose broke out of, looks like it kinda just slotted in there without any thing holding it in?

I finally got to the coils and spark plugs, the coils looked fine and the spark plugs as I've been told looks like they are well used. So I think I'll go and buy some new spark plugs tomorrow because why not lol.

After all that I still don't really know why I'm getting that rough idle/misfire.

I'll get those hoses replaced and new spark plugs, and if that doesn't clean up this problem then I suppose coils will be next. But then again I might even just buy coils to be safe.

And just a photo with the "import" monster drink haha

    • 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.
