damn i need new camber arms, running stock camber arms with natural camber is so shit, like -3.5deg camber

i think i'll just replace the worn out rose joints on my adjustable arms and put them back in instead of buying new adjustable ones

The latter, if I had a roller I'd do em myself.

Just make sure you don't get too aggressive. Too often on cruises you see guys who'd have the "backyard roll" done and the paint is stressed, there is unevenness in the guard... Nasty stuff all for the sake of saving a couple bucks and spending a bit more time on it.

was not me.. I just found out tonight caus I was busy all day/night and hadn't read my msgs

If members (that is you guys), can't play nice, be civilized and present the club in a positive light that is what happens.

Committee are discussing the issues and I would hope for a consensus by the time of the November Gen Meeting.

For those experts out there, just curious if the spark plugs I took out this weekend looked ok and are supposed to be this dark in colour?

Normally a mechanic takes them out and I don't get to see them but this time me and my mate who is also a mechanic took them out this weekend.

Cheers Bud!

Yup got real lazy in changing them. These have been in for about 17,000 Km's..... I know :spank:

I'll change them every 2nd oil change from here on in. Just need to be shown how to do it, which seemed easy enough.

I'll do it when I get my next set of wheels. Want some dish and painted centres

you can buy the SP1's off me when I get the rears, dont know why, but Im not a fan.

yeh.. easy enough for me too lol.. coilpack cover.. 6 screws..

and they're there lol

Sparks look fine Tony...normal build up considering how long they've been in for.

Easier on your SR20...you don't have to remove half of the intake piping and if I recall correctly your coilpacks don't have individual screws :/

spark plugs take me about 45 minutes to change being meticulous (cleaning threads of the head etc.).

yeh thats what I said.

nah the coil packs have individual screws.. i snapped one of the studs in there which you just reminded me to fix lol but yeh it only takes me 15 minutes to change all the plugs i just do it every service.. probably overkill but its $12.00 and 15 minutes extra.. rather than keeping track of when they went in

Cheers guys!

Yeah when my friend was taking out all the shit to get to the sparkies he kept on saying luckily I have this tool, otherwise if you did this yourself at home it would be a bitch for you to get 'x' screw out.

I get jelly when I hear my friend changes his spark plugs in his s15 in 5 mins.

    • 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.
