Love the Bentley Martin. All you need is super low sus, a set of 20's and you'll have full VIP style :thumbsup:

I now have the Nittos (70+% tread) in the boot of the Sigma, thanks again Steve (& keir - damn nice bloke too) Hopefully by COB today they'll be on the rear of the Skyline :D A quick wheel aligning sesh tomorrow and then it's off to AIR.

See you there Matt (check your PM too mate).

I'm coming out too .... but not to race this time - just to watch and get some footage of Matt doing an 11 :D .... to put the pressure on, if you don't do a big enough burnout before the run and subsequently have grip issues, I am taking her on the track for the next run to show you how it's done :thumbsup:

Nothing ever goes according to plan...

I need my guards rolled ASAP! The Nittos are on but unless I run huge neg camber they rub on the the guard lip like buggery :) The left rear doesn't rub but the right has already done some minor damage :D It's only cosmetic thankfully.

So, can anyone point me in the direction of a place/person that does QUALITY guard lipping/rolling? Preferably in the Nth East area, or even better someone that does mobile guard rolling.

I might post this up as a seperate thread, as I need it done ASAP if I'm to run the upcoming AIR meet!

city discount tyres ridgehaven can do it, and a few other tyre places, do you only need the lip rolled? as they wont do anymore. i needed mine pumped out 2cms or so and no one would even try it, so i had to get a pannel place to do it

Thanks for the help fellas :cheers:

Late breaking news - I've got a guy that does mobile guard rolling ("Slammed" is the business name) coming around tomorrow arvo to do them. He uses a heat gun and the usual hub bolt-on rolling tool. After he's done it's straight up the road for a quick alignment and that "should" be all that's needed, fingers crossed!

Clint, how wide have you gone in both rim and tyre? Is the R32 rear guard less accomodating than the R33? I sure hope I can get away with just a lip and camber job!? PLEASE!

You wanna run 9's!?!? No wonder you need big arse pumped guards, you'll need them to house the rubber needed to run a 9sec pass in RWD :cheers: Hehehe... oh, you mean 9inch wide :D

Thanks for the help fellas :P

    • 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.
