Yeah I'll be there :) My car is back together thanks to Mike and Rob coming around and motivating me to direct them to put it back together ;)

On the plus side, now have 27mm Front and 24mm Rear Whiteline Swaybars installed, feels so much better already after just a quick spin around the block.

Did you purchase the Power Intake adpator too? I don't think those come with one.

As listed here:

Oh and next time, save yourself the money and just buy a 3A racing pod off ebay for 30 bucks. They filter well and are cheap (as a piece of perforated cloth and some stamped metal should be).

Nah haven't purchased the adapter yet, I heard the A22 model was a directly bolt on that's why.

I don't think it will work with an adapter, I think with this kind of POD it needs to bolt directly on.

How is one supposed to skate epping plaza with such a device?

That is actually a very good question.

The answer will be revealed in say 10 years time when them habibs can afford one of these in cash.

Love them or hate them, the VF commys are a respectable bit of kit. Electronic park brake is fkin cool.

13.8L/100km average on LPG, that's close to diesel economy when you convert to dollars, isn't it?

its definatly close..

So, Orlando has an upper respiratory infection, which then lead to 3 other infections.

He's been sick as... Just lying in our bed crying or sleeping for 3 days.

last night we took him back to the hospital as he hadn't eaten for 36 hours and wasn't taking fluids...

He looks terrible at this stage.

Literally AS the doctor comes into our room, he jumps up, trots over to Merowyn's bag, rips out a croissant and starts eating it, then has a drink and starts trying to use the hospital as a jungle gym.

Little bastard...

So I purchased one of these which has an 85mm ID:

Not realising I need the 500-A022 model which has a 75mm ID. Anyone know how I can make it fit to the RB25DET? Would an adaptor or the like work?

The square gasket doesn't bolt straight onto your AFM?

You would need a reducer if it's too big. I'd just suck it up and resell the 21 if it won't fit. I sold a used 22 for $30 second hand lol

Hope he gets better, is he continuing to eat and drink? or was it a one off to piss you off in front of the doctor?

Sounds like taking your car to a mechanic to diagnose an intermittent problem :P

oh he'll get better.

he's much the same today. It's heartbreaking, but then I look at people who's kids have real problems like leukemia etc and it puts it all back into perspective.

It's just a part of parenting

thanks for the thought though <3

    • 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.
