GTX3076

2.8 (comp is supposedly 8.2) - Stock exhaust manifold, stock airbox, 3in exhaust, automatic transmission (the slip up top was 8% through it), return flow cooler, etc.

As for how it occurred.. it really did occur at about 30kmh, driving in 4th gear (which is 5th for you manual people) minding my own business turning right, UNDER the 'advisory' speed for that corner.

I had 30 eggs in the passenger seat. None of them cracked. I hope this leads Mr Shannons Assessor to believe me when I say I wasn't driving like a tool in the rain and it was a low speed impact.

See photos I linked a few posts above with the imgur link

Or I'll just post it again -> http://imgur.com/a/2JKpW

Pretty much had a direct impact on both passenger side wheels - whatever holds them straight (i.e, rods of which I do not know/cannot define/of unknown origin) are clearly snapped or bent. Or I just got a free wheel alignment of about 30 degrees of toe at the rear, and a front passenger wheel which decides it doesn't have time to listen to the steering rack anymore.

There's a good fist/sized (in volume) dent in the front bumper too, right under the front indicator on the passenger side. I didn't take a photo of that cause I dunno, I was busy being rained on, and such.

it was right here -> https://goo.gl/maps/r4XxQ

There's a farm here -> https://goo.gl/maps/SAsmh that claims to sell the best eggs in the world. They're really good. What better thing to randomly do on a sunday than taking a nice relaxed drive through the hills to buy eggs, to just enjoy the fact your car is finally working, because it's far too wet to do any 'spirited' driving?

People saw the dyno sheet and asked me what its like to drive... I don't even know.

I'm just going to cry myself to sleep now.

looool sucks to be you....

especially today!

Inb4 Pat launches into tirade about 80% of chefs meeting this stereotype

that's fair, 80% of cooks/chef absolutely suck anus.

I worked f**king hard not to be in that 80% so stereotype away! ;)

Sad to hear about the accident!

But that is an awesome dyno graph!

Got specs on the Engine build?

    • 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.
