Yeah I wont be making this any more..

Car has been at a workshop for the past week having the finishing touches done before run in and power tune on my new engine.. put coolant in the new radiator today, pressurised the system, didnt hold pressure, check for leaks, nothing apparent. Long story short, during the final check before putting it on the dyno for run in, checked the sump and its full of water..... game over, out it will come. So f**king over it.

Its worse considering the parts list behind it and how much has gone wrong along the way. Dropped so much money on this thing and have seen no benefit to date, its really depressing. Think along the lines of sleeved SR with 90mm CP pistons (2189cc..), tomei cams, rb25 box, gtx3071r, 740s, z32 etc etc.

There is a meet point at Caltax Bolivar for anyone interested at 7:30am - leaving 7:40am SHARP (unless I am late :P )

I will have $1.50 cans of drink for sale out there (Coke, Zero, Fanta, Creaming soda, Lemonade, Lemon Squash, Passiona) , as well as some $1.50 muffins, lamingtons and donuts for those with hunger pangs. More substantial meals are available at the Mallala pub and the IGA/deli in Mallala.

See you all tomorrow for a big one!

all ready :D

Well I am all good to go. Just have to fill the car up and 3 Jerry cans tomorrow morning.

I will be at the meet spot :D

Just haven't changed the brake pads as I am not confident in doing them myself. I have seen it done a fair few times just don't have the confidence to do it atm. Hopefully the current pads will last the punishment. There is about half life left in the pads up front and same for the rear. I have a brand new set of QFM A1RM's with me that I will be bring out to the track and hopefully someone can lend me a hand in changing the pads if need be :D Also hoping that 3 jerry cans will be enough.

Looking forward to this track day :D

Guys, just a quick note to clear any confusion regarding deposits.

The club pays for the track day regardless of who goes or who doesn't.

It's very easy to say that people dropping out last minute won't lose their deposits because it can be automatically applied to a future track day, but imagine if half the entrants did that??

Who then pays for this particular track day?

I hate to be a pain here but we need to be realistic.........if your are dropping out for whatever reason, please try and get someone to fill your spot.

    • 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.
