On another note, ever since I swapped in my standard airbox I'd lost 50-60km per tank of fuel and felt a little down on power. Swapped my pod back in and it's all sweet again. It was tuned with the pod on, but I thought pod vs airbox was supposed to make SFA difference besides sound. Also, Ric is running more power with the standard airbox...you done any mods to the airbox Ric?

Interesting mr birds, I haven't done back to back test between pod and stock air box myself, but was told the same by sfa of difference.

What kind of filter in your stock air box by any chance?

Makes my blood boil those kids should be smacked around severely and the parents as respect starts at home & school

I look at the government schools around my area the kids are all oxygen theives I just know my tax will be paying for there sorry existence when I was at school all sir/mrs stand up when principal came into the room even just basic uniform policy that was enforced is good foundations

Much work to fit the GTR bov? I'm running 16psi and it doesn't always happen, only when the throttle plate slams shut on a fast gear change.

crossover pipe bolts on perfectly but the return pipe is a larger diameter than gtst. the gtr return hose ID is almost the same as the gtst return hose OD. i mcguyver'd it by slipping the gtst hose inside the gtr one and cable ties but would not reccommend cos it makes a horrible honking vibration on partial boost

Cheers Basti, will give it a shot.

P.S. An online charity was set up to support elderly woman and it looks like she'll be getting 100k from it...bit ridiculous but she definitely deserves something after that.

Nah man, bog stock. I remember we took off the snorkel and the lid on the dyno and it made negligible difference. Never had a pod so can't compare.

That sucks though, I'd love a bit more power and better economy lol

This is what happens when parents don't smack their kids. Disgraceful.

lucky you can't really see kids faces (only one shortly) because they would get knocked the f**k out if people saw them

I really want to right now myself

Dad is getting old, crashed his car. I think he had a minor heart attack or something mum told me his chest was hurting last night.

Stubborn prick still went to work instead of doc's

What a way to start the day

no shit. my dad calls me at 7 last night and sez he's gonna be late coming home from work and to tell some dude that he was expecting to visit that he'll take a raincheck. cool cool. so i head out to play some indoor. check my phone after (11pm) and find like 20 billion missed calls from mum. apparently, he had fin work at 4, gone to the docs and was ambo'd to the hospital. they admitted him and held him there for 6hrs then sent him home. first thing he did when he got home was to fill up a glass with scotch. by the time i get home he's passed out drunk on the couch.

for added context, he's had a major heart attack last year.

our dad's should hang out

Anyone know the boost limits of the standard R33 GTS-T bov? Starting to get compressor surge at high boost.

had mine up at 2 bar with no fails (although that could have contributed to the motor failing lol)

    • 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.
