xALmon - I feel more of my time is needed to add to this growing thread (and the growing concerns I have).

In no way am I trying to tell anybody what to do. I just felt the necessity to bring basic parental responsibilities to the attention of the thread starter, in this case hamiltonau.

If you wish to describe myself as having large amounts of commitment, well I am fine with this. You may be wrong, you may be right. At the end of the day it is your opinion and being able to freely discuss this on a public forum is fantastic.

However I am somewhat confused to the reasoning behind you trying to do this in a second language when previous posts clearly show you are far from competent in that said language.

Maybe that discussion should be left for another time ...? :D

hamiltonau - Please accept my sincerest and humblest of apologies. I feel nothing but guilt knowing that my opinion nearly brought you to the point of exploding with rage/indignation.

I agree that the topic titled "the best way of raising a child" would be on a completely different forum and yes most probably not on a forum about modifying cars.

I would also like you to reconsider you image of me being a "self important dick" . How can one regular forum goer (xALmon) describe me as being a hero with loads of commitment and passion, yet you cannot?

I unfortunately still feel you don't fully understand your responsibilities of being a parent. Just because your ex wife owes you money this does not mean you should threaten her by suggesting you would withhold child support payments. After all this money is for your son isn't it? Sounds like you have everything on the right track though (no pun intended :P)

Can I also suggest before making comments in future posts / threads you think about what it is you are typing and how this may make you look. The picture you painted of yourself with certain comments made you look like a first class loser of a man / father. :yes:

I am happy you have been able to move on with "the business at hand", that being the modification of your car.

Lastly, if at all possible could you please help me out with all my spelling errors? In return I will help you out with missing words, spelling, grammar, word choices, general life coaching, understanding and handling criticism, anger management and ways to channel this to find inner peace.

Thankyou

How much you spending on your car mate? I'm thinking of doing the same, but I'll probably just go buy an EVO VII instead as I love the twisties. pirate.gif

All up its going to be roughly 3 and a half grand to get my RB25 to jump from 160 or so KW to 290plus KW. That includes 2.5k for the Turbo,injectors, AFM, plug in and new fuel pump. The tune is 650 and the labour will hopefully be just a few hundred..will tally it all up again once its done.

Wori, thanks for the apology, was hard to tell how ironic your tone was but i will take it at face value, as for 'threatening the ex wife by withholding funds' thats another example of you misreading things, she is fine with the arrangement as its the only way she can afford to pay for sudden large bills like moving house. He will not go without food etc as her full-time job at Coles keeps him in plenty of discounted nappies, apple sauce,powdered milk and so on. .as you confirmed though, that should all be for another thread.

I will attempt to be clearer in future but i like to think this is one place where i can joke around without worrying if the wowser brigade is going to jump up and down with their arms in the air at every slightly sexist/irresponsible comment..

I hope you make the right decision with your ride RB25PWR, and that means keeping the Skyline :P

tried test driving an Evo? i have been a passenger in a VII and it felt a bit plasticky albeit very quick, surely you would miss RWD?

dear f**k wit,

your bullshit has become overly tiresome, please f**k off.

your smart ass posts help no-one, and change nothing.

cheers, adam

hamiltonau - good job! hope all your future car and non car related endeavors go according to plan. I agree that everyone needs some form of pleasure in their life and its sounds like you're well and truly overdue. :cheers:

adamskill - Not sure what kind of skill you claim to posses, It is clearly not reading nor comprehension. Hamiltonau started this thread asking for advice regarding the best way to spend his $8000 that he has saved and now wanting to spend on his R33 nissan skyline. He also mentioned he didn't want to spend all of his saved amounts and not be able to see a noticeable improvement compared to that of a standard R33 nissan skyline.

Can you please focus on the request at hand instead of straying off topic :thumbsup:

tried test driving an Evo? i have been a passenger in a VII and it felt a bit plasticky albeit very quick, surely you would miss RWD?

Yet to test drive one. Their are things I don't like about the EVO, one is the interior and the other is the rear... i'd have to throw on an EVO 8 rear end. But if you can go from 160rwkw (which is what mine is making) to 260ish for 3.5k (i'm presuming this figure is a little optimistic?) say 4k. then perhaps it's worth it.

and to the guy who said if I sold my GTS-T I wouldn't get half of what's needed for an EVO. assuming I sell mine for $10k and EVO VII's are 20k. It's pretty much bang on half.

yeah good luck getting more than 6k for the GtSt, at least thats what im hearing on the forums. Pretty depressing seeing as i thought 9.5k was a bargain for mine only 3 years ago..as for the EVO rears, is there that much of a difference between the VII and 8? too lazy to google it lol

I may have some optimism thrown into the mix re power i will be making and the total cost of gaining said big dyno numbers but i dont think im too far off the mark. The next two weeks will reveal just how far off...stay tuned.:thumbsup:

damn, im going to have to drive out there to sell mine. Would be an awesome excuse for a road trip and just fly back, im years off selling it though, specially seeing as mods are coming soon. Hope BNR34's come down to 35k by 2014 or so. Be surprised if they ever get cheaper than that, as Sean lloyd said on the Stag cruise yesterday, only 12 thousand were made and they aint making anymore. Be very surprised if they ever get as cheap as the 33GTR's!

  • 2 weeks later...

Thanks for the support guys, im a sensitive little sod so it means a lot, as for the boost controller..um i will take a quick photo/video of what i mean over the wknd but essentially if i switch it off im not making as much boost so im assuming the power level drops and hence petrol consumption? Have i being doing it wrong all this time?

Im not being a smart arse i simply dont know lol.

Nah your right, the less boost you are running the less fuel you will use.

But my point is, if you are low on petrol you shouldnt be hitting much boost if any. Does that make sense?

Driving off boost, least fuel

Driving on low boost, mid fuel

Driving on high boost most fuel

So if I want to conserve fuel for any reason I just keep it off boost.

Flooring it around on low boost will still use plenty of fuel haha

oh yeah i see what you mean now, your talking about driving conservatively and therefore not actually engaging the boost much at all, saving petrol.

gotchya! i do try and baby it a little when low on fuel but its hard..

Turbo FINALLY turned up at the post office this afternoon, got the pick up card so will grab it tomorrow but due to the trackday being this wknd will wait till monday to get the thing installed, so if you order one from Hypergear expect it at least 2 weeks later. just sayin.

    • 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.
