Yep, cos I can't work out why you'd say G35 in the equation when we were talking about ye olde r33...

Because you then went on to say different technology, so I then gave you an example with current technology, even the same price.

And the $1400 tune still comes up on top

I was commenting on the $1400 tune as the use of the word tune made me assume it was simply a tune... if he had said eco and tune i would never have mentioned it.

in reference to 370kw, well that's a pointless argument... it's a 1.75 tonne 4 door sedan with a 5 lt v8 and a supercharger from factory that cost leigh 50k

compared to a 10k 2door coupe that is 15 years older.

Talk about apples and oranges!

for 50k i'd be well above 370kw in a skyline if that's what i wanted, but I dont see how it's comparable as i could also be there in an older falcadore, an ae86, a nissan patrol or pretty much anything available.

so what is your point?

end of the day, leigh's car is fkn quick and fkn awesome and I would drive it in a heartbeat.

(it's not worth 50k to me but thats beside the point)

You've confused me further. So I'm not going to say any more.

you can make the power throwing money into a older car sure, but as I said wanted something new stuff throwing 50k into a gtst lol

that's the point aarons making, comparing new cars, new technology etc

screw driving around a 400kw skyline you get pulled over you're f**ked in the ass

guess you could buy this instead :P dat dere 2.0l:

You can have 400kw Skyline and not get reamed when the bonnet is open.

Someone here have 34 NUR, RP motor blah blah blah and think he got pulled over and got done for height, no EPA from memory.

Again, horses for courses.

Also Leigh, you know me liking to take piss on you for your 'taxi' and your going on about me getting a Falcon.

this is my point.

yeh but got lucky right?

and this lol

Course he got lucky, you can get defected in a standard Skyline and that's what's shit about driving Jap. Leigh's car is awesome value for what it is. I think Aaron has a good point too...it used to be that old / falling apart Jap cars were the only cheap way to get big power...now a brand new Aussie sedan can have $1400 spent on it and kick it with the supercars.

I'd buy one if I found the FG attractive...

on another note, 90kg bench press today! woohoo!

Nice, how much do you weigh if you don't mind me asking? I just started to gym again for a month now and struggling bad...

Need cash work now

Me too!

    • 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.
