told you stock engine mounts :domokun:

Lumpy cams sound tough, what you dont like about them?

Yeh they sound good. Except for the fact the car vibrates to the beat lol it'd be alright if the stock cams were in. Or idle wAs 1100rpm lol

Lumpy cams + plastic engine mounts = shake the shit out of the car lol. Incidentally, the further you move away from a street car the harder it gets to drive on the street...

Yeh I'm slowly figuring this out. The merc seriously couldn't come any sooner. Oh well missus can drive every where.

Hands and feet get a good massage though :D

lol my car is pretty daily driveable for it's performance/capability, I've spent lots of money on compromise components that keep it friendly...but even with that, you step into a car like Leigh's and it's no contest for comfort. Factory performance ftw.

Doesn't help that our cars are nearly 20 years old both in technology and wear though. Can't chuck new stuff on it and expect it to work perfectly with a 15-20 year old chassis lol.

Should have kept the stagea Aaron you dropkick. :P

+1

lol @ Scotty lurking for ages to get that one in.

Unrelated, and I sound like a bitch, but Top Deck is my weakness tonight. Free plug for Pat.

Should have kept the stagea Aaron you dropkick. :P

STFU i will eventually.

but nah thanks for doing everything! appreciate the f**k out of it.

^ Didn't that thing blow up after a bit of limiter bashing from the new owner? Hhaha

lol. yeh he replaced that engine, and blew it up again!

Yeah my falcon vs GTR for comfort is just silly compareo even with the coilovers in lol

Sat in GTR seats the other night first time in probably a year, quickly remembered how race orientated the car was still miss it but at the end of the day didn't do any track work

    • 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.
