Yeah all those Easter egg hunts for keys to luxury sedans mus be taking it out of you.

On the topic of torx, I had an idea the other day...I don't think police carry torx bits with them, so if you were to install "heat shields" in your engine bay covering up...certain items...and said heat shields were fastened using torx screws...how could they inspect your vehicle on the side of the road? :)

yeh but it woould kill trying to fit two wastegates in there.. im trying to keep the whole setup low mount and away

twin gates? twin scroll doesn't need twin gates, its just twin entry into the turbo pretty much

mine only had one internal wastegate

How much is paint? Rent sprayer from you? > :D

Yep, don't think they have torx though. Just screwdrivers and sockets. Worth a shot :)

I'd stick a big trollface on the shield too lol.

I want to definitely hit over 300kw with e85. Hopefully I'll be at 20psi by about 3800-4k with the stage 2 cams. Bit laggy but I'm not fussed Using a .82 rear so we'll see how it goes. Can always go a smaller housing

:O

.82 in GTX on 2ltr

I think laggier than 3800rpm, and need at least 24psi to see 300rwkw on a 4 banger

They'd probably just send you straight to the EPA or defect it...Guilty til proven innocent (at your own expense) is the way it seems to go here....

Yeh tuner wants to push 25psi through it, I probably will to get a figure then bring it back under. I think the .82 will be ok, plus if it isn't it's not going to be to hard to go smaller

I thought about this, and I know they can defect you for an exhaust on suspicion...didn't think they could defect you on engine mods they can't see and therefore don't know exist though...what would they write down on the paper? At least if they send you somewhere to get it inspected, it would allow you time to remove the illegal stuff before getting it inspected. You wouldn't avoid the pain in the ass but possibly avoid a fine.

    • 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.
