I run ID's and if it's below 10 degrees my cars a bitch to start.

If the car has been on the trailer over night in winter and I try to start it at the track I have to wait for the temp to get up to about 10 before it will start.

It was tuned on a 35 degree day which probably didn't help.

Yeah on warm days, even anything above 15 degrees it starts first crank. Cold weather like today you can't even hear it fire a cylinder for the first couple of cranks.

ive read a few articles mentioning the same amount.... maybe it could work.

id be taking it back to tuner and retuning in the cold tho....

Not a bad idea getting a winter touch up tune for it that I can switch to in the cold. Shouldn't cost too much.

yeah I didnt have any great issues either....Maybe its those crappy old Nismo injectors Birds ;)

I'd say it has more to do with the climate the car was tuned in and where you're starting it. My car gets left out on the street these days and inside the carport it does start much quicker. Pretty sure the bottom of my hill goes below sea level too, lol. Injector type or size should be pretty irrelevant; the timing and flow of them in the tune will matter more.

Besides, Nismo injectors are love...dat resale value through the roof. Just like my "outdated" PFC!

Need a tiny electric blanket around your fuel line birds.

Heh I was actually imagining doing something like this, but wrapping the whole engine. Also considered giving the fuel lines one of these

Have a huge castle somewhere, so many trap doors and glow in the dark ghosts (actually just a regular Lego man in a ghost sleeve, but aren't they all!

No, I prefer to get irrationally angry at people who get nostalgia about things that are 'silly new things that little kids are into'

Like Pokémon.

How dare this forum autocorrect and add that little thing above the E.

stupid nostalgic forum

well if your car is rwc...why worry?

sif be scared of tmu...just smile and nod politely as you do what they ask, then leave and do what the hell you want anyway

hmm only problem would be too low otherwise car is okay

always rely on much worse cars than yours to steal the spotlight. have seen bagged R32's scrape on modest carpark entrances infront of cops and they just watch to make sure no one does skids.

lol yeah this is true :P or i could just walk, market is pretty close. the melb car meets had a couple of people rev bashing and doing a skid on exit at the docklands one. :/

    • 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.
