All round 20% brah? Looks good! (Also, I was considering an EK hatch for the longest time! Or a EJ8 (as EM1's out of price range). Then went out and checked some bb6's instead, since they're mad. Was so close to buying one. ... then yeah. Bought a skyline. LOLOL).

Thinking I should keep it legal (35%) on each side window + rear... but then 20% or something on the rear quarters (and pass it off as privacy glass... I wish mine just came with that sigh!)

Yeah that's why i was thinking of keeping the doors legal. and then the quarters let less light in = darker interior = makes 35% window even more effective?! :P.

So many things to do, so little time and $$.

Sometimes I wish I had purchased the BB6 though. Leather, cruise control, already had sound system, less insurance, similar/less petrol, dohc vtak...

Yeah sometimes I wonder why bought the skyrine! But then there are funtimes in the line and everything is forgotten. Until I remember ^those things that are missing... xD. Rinse, repeat.

Was drizzling on way to/from work around 12-5 if that helps. But looked like some harder rain before that

BB6 was the whole package imo. But dat ass was ugly. And it was so hard to find a manual one in good cond.

550-600kms to a 40L tank. Come at me :P

Kinda glad I settled with a civic. Cheap cheap. Getting closer and closer to a go kart too :D

Haha, you start warming up to it! My mate has one, I learnt a fair bit of manual in it, so nice! Although his is quite modded. I didn't even go inspect unless they were manual brahs.

Don't have to dig it in :(. Could even deal with this crappy economy if my car was at least turbo, at least it'd be somewhat quick! If even after all this my car makes me smile, well then, if I could have a turbo one... life would be so good :(. Then I think of selling, and joining the trend of not owning a skyline xD. But then I'm like... hmm... time to throw some money (i.e. exhaust, sound) zzz.

Keep it man, you'll probably regret selling it. Haha.

Civics are fairly overpriced for what it is. Fairly reliable if you find a good example (pleanty out there) they will last forever. Parts are real easy to find. probably the most supported car out there (iunno how to explain it, but nearly every part is readily available, new or second hand) wreckers, ebay and ozhonda.

But i'd just go for an excel if you wanted just a car. Haha

Blue came with the bike. Might get red down the track for a change but I've seen it before on R1s and it looks a little tacky + slightly more illegal than blue.

why not get xenon white, they look good... ask Jonoe I gave him some parkers for his civic

    • 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.
