Wow, you're car looks great, almost exactly the same as mine only mine doesn't have all the badging and stuff on it (to be thruthful im glad, didn't want some dick trying to get the S logo off the bonnet with a screwdriver :bonk: )

As for my baby :) booked in for rego on Thursday, should pick it up next weekend if all goes well. I'm all psyched up now! :)

Anyways, good luck with it, that's one nice looking car!

lol we will probably be on the road at the same time maybe you a couple of weeks earlier :) yea the badge on the bonnet will come off ASAP looks a bit homo on that note any tips people that have removed it is it glued on or does it have some sort of bolt/attachement.

yea i would see if i do want it in the end but i was thinking POSSIBLY i dont know how it would look yet but see if it would mount between the bonnet and the bart like were people ahve their GT-R one i could just put that S... not sure if it would look dicky or not but we will see hopefully it looks good

  • 3 weeks later...

well the car arrived today took it for a quick spin around the block mmm turbo's are nice. other than that it needs a really good clean and a bit of cut and polish and it will be sweet as. Goes into rego on thursday and seeing as how it is stock as a rock it should have no problems. also tested all power options eg indicators, break lights, mirrors windows etc etc all work fine so yea i may actually get spotted soon WOOT. hope to catch up with some of you soon.. FINALLY :wassup:

Nice work mate! Took delivery of mine yesterday too. Went for a spin around Manuka...i wasn't driving cause i don't get to till november but it's still a great car to be a pasenger in. Picked up rego for mine as well, the last 3 digits are 33M :)

yeah, lets see, i got the custom plates sheet here (i wanted GAJ 33T but it cost about $1,800!!!!) the example RH 351 costs $313 for tin and $399 for plastic, unique plates (like GAJ 33T) are $1,894... if it looks like a manufacturer or model (e.g Ni55an) that's $3,531 and numeric plates go from $627 to $4,602

Almost forgot, plates with your name on them with seven or less characters cost $627.

I just ended up getting standard plates, but the lady at the motor registery Gaye was really nice and after seeing the number combo i wanted went and found plates with the numbers 33 in them. 33M or 33C... i went for M.

About the plates, i noticed the standards fit just fine in the rear bracket, but at the front they're a few centimetres too long and had to be bent to fit in the mounting brackets. It looks pretty crappy. Is it possible to get a smaller plate for the front and how much would i be looking at for that? I want to keep it blue + white like the standard plate on the back too.

on the R32 the plates dont fit at all without bending, so the front i moved to the side and the rears bent, not much can be done about it

good to see the two of you will both be on the road soon,

Kinda yes....but what would they prefer? no plates at all? :D

When i get around to ordering a plastic replacement for my tin ones, i'll whip up a bracket to side mount it. Give more flow to what's left of my intercooler, and looks good too :) Brake ducting...who needs brake ducting...i've got a great big stainless pipe there for the intercooler anyway

    • 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.
