Will do Martin!

You're in Yarraville if I remember correctly?

Why you party poop and no deca?

Tried a water bottle cap and it's just a bit small, milk cap seems too big. :-/

Newport so close enough.

no seat in car so no racing, parts just not coming in in time.

still coming up, just not driving anymore.

I might have a set of S-chasis rails in my garage...

Swear i've seen the original image on here before but this popped up on my newsfeed....dem photoshop skills.

Yeah that's my picture

Must like taking pics off my FB page. I think Steve runs the FB page, his a nice guy though

Bit of a gay photoshop to be honest

So driving to work this morning for the first time since working on the car all long weekend.... Of course, popped a cooler pipe.

Turbo -> Intercooler... the one underneath everything... had to remove the airbok etc etc etc and get dirty in my work clothes :(
Luckily I stand by carrying all my tools with me for a few days after any mods, just in case :)

Billowing black smoke and strugging to keep idle without revving, turned into a servo after stalling twice.

Happy Hump Day :| 30 minutes late to work on the week where I'm only working for 16 hours, and I need to take some time off on Thursday afternoon so I can get a taxi to go and pick it up from the retune before driving straight to Shepp so I can do Winton on Friday.

If only you went MAP sensor like all the cool kids. You could have driven to work with no boost like a boss.

On the plus side scotty... I hit a little bit of boost just fine the other afternoon... but as soon as rpm and boost went up... it all went to crap and I'm assuming it leaned out (didn't pop a hose, but it blew dark grey smoke and lost power for the 0.5 seconds it was happening)

Retune is booked for tomorrow, and it drives around fine off boost.

Your pipe certainly sounds different to stock when the BOV air enters it... when I let off the gas (from about 2psi) it does its normal shhhhh and then about half a second later (when the air gets back to the intake pipe?) it goes kerchewww. Can't wait to hear it at full song :)

Hopefully no dramas on the Dyno, since I'm leaving for Shepp Thursday evening :/

Ooooo also, New Koyorad and Nismo Thermostat and 1.3Bar Cap = 67c driving temp, 69c max temp over an hour of driving, comes up to temp fast, and stays there rock solid. But yeah, haven't boosted yet.

Also haven't gotten the temperatures high enough for the new Tomei oil cooler w/ thermostat to open up yet.

Who would stock an adaptor which would screw into a hole which is 18mm/1.5mm thread and be able to accept a smaller sensor... unsure of the actual size... about 12mm across perhaps? Will get exact measurements at lunch time. What kind of shops stock fitting like that?

SIMON, you should've replaced the clamps while it's all apart.

One of these days you'll break a clamp in middle of nowhere, like it did for me one time.

    • 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.
