That is what stopped me from buying MA61 and MA70 Supra back then, read too many stories about them blowing h/gasket.

Okay just messaged my mate and he said, what you said is true.

But you just need to get the head resurfaced and possibly block, run a cosmetic steal head gasket and some arp head studs, and then it should hold well after that :thumbsup:

thinking about it.... but see below post

Ah fair enough.

Excellent, I know something about 'yotas....

Now that is sorted.

Need Panasports and it'll be fap-worthy.

SAU is not a vicroads authorized club for club permit scheme,

and I cannot see this changing as there is not much need considering most ppl's cars here are not more than 25 years old.

I don't think you'd ever want most people cars on club reg, too much headache.

Given its two years til r32s become eligible, now is probably a good time for SAU to sign up with only a handful of people wanting club reg, easier for the club to come up to speed with all the requirements.

I'd be worried if the gasket was cosmetic :P

Grant/Leigh - thanks

Fun riding a bike? First time?

Yea first time. They made me start on a scooter which was a waste of time but good fun. Then got me a bike, was trickier than I thought, stalled it couple times but got the hang of it by the time they started testing. Definately going for 1.5 hour courses to practise gear changing before I go out on the road.

yeah. please do. so i know if i do get one. how much i'm up for.

doing research before another potentially stupid purchase...

Normally your looking at about $2k-2.5K parts and labour including cleaning, checking and resurfacing of the head.

Though I'm sure you have chit chat with him and talk specifics I'm sure you'd be able to make a deal with him ~$1.5K for the job.

I'd be worried if the gasket was cosmetic :P

My bad... though..could go Cosmetic as they say Maybelline because you're worth it

Hahaha scooters are underrated. Good idea on the practice sessions, better to get these things downpat, one less thing to worry about when you get out on the road with cars. Everything becomes second nature very quickly.

hi, i have a t5 out of an xr8 that has a possible snapped input shaft.. will you still take the box? this is the only damage.. no cracks in the housing etc.... if you will would it be a lower price etc? i am in south as. can you give me a close price..?

    • 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.
