That's the front

One of my mates cars, currently for sale too

Thing is awesome in person :)

he got it from JPN front and rear 9 with the mivec head and all.

didn't believe him initially that it was a 7

Shit that's a lot of work to be done to do a mivec conversion, that's a awesome car

Engine I presume was rebuilt too?

graphically the main thing deterring me from a 7 was the lights...

with this new info I might just go a 7 and be happy with 220kw odd

Always a fix for cosmetics brah

7s are great.

though at 20k, i'm not sure its good bang for buck.

If you plan on modding bang for buck they become a lot cheaper than a skyline though

about $2k-$2.5k will net you a stock evo to 230ish kw

That's full exhaust, licp, bigger turbo, remapped, ebc and can probably even budget cams in there if you get the exhaust cheap enough

$5k will get you to 300awkw

EVO 7 with EVO 8 / 9 Spoiler?

Yeh but runs the 9 rear bar so looks good cause it matches :)

EVO 7 with EVO 8 / 9 Spoiler / Rear Bar?

and headlights/fin thingy on the roof..

also skirt CF extensions, different front lip, and diffuser extension on the rear bar.

not much really to get it looking like that.

oh thats awesome.

lol not kaitou.. i meant emts.

Sure, sure 

I'm just hoping I can get a clean 8 for 17-18ish Christmas next year.

Lol exactly what I'm hoping for as well (perhaps a bit after Christmas also fine). Not sure how likely this hope is, though :S

Yeah.. initial outlay is high..

And i've been thinking about it since last year. Still thinking.

no idea on rebuild was only running around the 240ish IIRC

dont think the work that huge.

Mate just did a MIVEC conversion on his 8MR not super cheap but cheaper than a lit of other mods

boosted his mid range very nicely

do ittttt :P

well I guess it's more for cost and sourcing parts

you need to rewire the whole mivec wiring into the ecu as well

and the head alone is at least $1500 plus wiring

i seriously have no idea why you sold yours.

I do regret it a lot, however at the time I was sick of imports. As a matter of fact I'm still pretty sick of them

Golf gets attention, but not the bad kind and it sits at about 50mm off the ground and has no exhaust :P

also a lot cheap. but fwd gaaaaaaaaaaaay..

though 18km/L makes up for it.

haha that's through town on freeway i get 23 to 25km/l

depending on road incline etc, but usually hangs around 4-4.5 litres per 100km :P

yeh.. im not expecting the evo to be the greatest, but anything would be better than the silvia and its 250km to a full tank lol

expect around 300-350max around suburbs, the small tank is a killer

also they do drink being so responsive :P

well thats fine from a 40 litre tank.

stagea was a 80 litre tank and i was getting max 290km from e85(granted its ethanol)

hmm

I get around 450 around town 600+ on freeway..

lol 270 kw is a very tempting power figure.

and i never did freeway or long distances..

Good to see it's all interchangeable!

lol @ comparing ethanol with PULP on consumptioin

hence why I put in brackets granted its ethanol.

if it wasnt such a risk to do it with the seven rods, i would be tuning on e85 this weekend.

the servo is a 5-10 minute walk from my house 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.
