Might get intercooler, run a smaller pulley and e85 down the track, however then I need injectors and fuel pump as well which is all $ and don't think the change from 370 to 450 odd would be that different.. would get me dat 10 though best someone has got with a tune only is 11.3 down the 1/4 mile with good tyres

Or perhaps it's time I save for a house :(

I'm thinking a shed, I need to be able to store at least 4 cars, preferably more!

I'm limited by my sloping block, designing a 6x9 with extra height to stack cars with a hoist, so should fit 3 with storage

lol... do you NEED a 10?

370 is stupid power! why risk blowing an engine on a 50k car for extra power that you wont be able to use?

don't you hate it when you've lost the rear end (more than once) on your FWD when out on a track, later find out the previous owner hit a gutter a few years ago and knocked one of the rear wheels out.

get it measured up at Tyre Factory when they were doing other work and find one of the wheels to have 6mm toe-in and the other 1mm. then take it to Centreline Suspension (more than reputable from what I've seen/read) and they measure 1mm toe-in on both rear wheels........

grrr

My Pulsar also had near on 0mm toe in on one side and 6mm toe in on the other side - as you know that is within Nissan spec and the only way to get it better is to bend the rear beam. It almost always has nothing to do with accident damage - that's how they came out of the factory.

I agree it makes the car very unstable particularly with quick changes of direction. Could best describe it as crabwalking. Noticed it at turns 11 & 12 at Sandown more than anywhere else.

ETA for BRZ is now April, oh yeah! Nearly time for nervous butterflies.

That's quick! What happened to 12 month wait? Our 18 month wait for 86 has been upgraded to ~6 months too.

So you can be free?

yes.

Polo TDi...I'm impressed. Averaging 3.4L on the freeway. Could get to Sydney on $60.

yeah that would definitely be my car of choice if i were to go down that path, love the golfs are the GTI much worst?

Golf GTI is a great all rounder daily. Great tuning potential too. For the money though, Polo kicks ass. Turbo diesel moves off the line and the 7 speed DSG helps. Would get one if it was a bit better looking, but compared to others in the same market it's probably the best looking.

    • 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.
