unfortunatley not Andrew lol

that really needs to be laser cut, then CNC milled from the look of it - though im tempted to get the file for the 1uz to T56 file and see what their machining options are, i do have contacts for all this stuff now.

even if the laser cutters did the main work then etched the surface for the milling part you could spend some time doing it manually on a mill.

The turbo has bolts atm, would like to keep that if possible....as for the dimensions to the outside...it doesn't really matter, but I would like the center hole for the pipe to suit 3" mild steel pipe rather than 81mm

Chris, go to 10mm plate is what i've been advised by all the exhaust guys.

They see warping issues after use with 5/6mm stuff.

As for gearbox adapters, why the T56? It's a clunky as f**k gearbox. If I could have easily, I would have avoided using it altogether with my LS1 and stuck with the 5Speed.

If you've got a Toyota engine, get the V160 Box.

just did some measuring on matt's old dump pipe (same flange) it is 12mm from the centre hole to the edge and 10mm bolt holes.

Did notice though that his piping is 76mm OD...so not sure what to do there as I think 81mm will be too loose?

V160 = $4500-5000 2nd hand

T56 $1500 2nd hand

If I ever feel rich...would you be able to do one of these?

i bought the 1uz one yesterday - turns out its 3 pieces for the 1uz and they recommend steel - so i'll be cutting it out next week :P

lucky we have some 12mm plate lying around :D

yeah exactly

hardest part is going to be welding the pieces together without the 12mm plate warping - might have to bolt it up to the bell housing and weld it bolted up and low heat as its under compression so doesnt have to be a strong weld.

    • 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.
