cusco brake master cylinder

yeah no cage till less than 10,99

wont do it till i am forced to! had a cage in my 34 and wasnt down! great for twistys really stiffened the f**k out of my car but caused way way too much attention!

small update

last nite i installed a hicas lock bar

dropped the exhaust out as well

tonite ill be starting work on

3 apexi guages and control box

greddy turbo timer

shift light

nardi torino wheel with quick release

carbon console lid!!

ill have my pwr radiator and garage defend cooling panel on thursday and gonna have a go at them as well!

forgot how good it is working on cars its been way too long since i got into 1

forgot it was my mums bday today so had to do the family wog thing and didnt get down to the factory/workshop till 9 still got the guage pod in (nightmare job)

this week a friend of mine (electronics genious who is very pedantik n i rk has o.c.d) is gonna connect em all up n hide all the wiring nicely!

atm waiting on a shit load of stuff to rock up! mainly interior n exterior parts (varbon mainly)

got my roady done last week so can do my victorian rego next couple weeks!

gonna do a major service on my car this week as wekk coz its been 2500kms and 3 months since last one!

the car prob wont get driven before this engine comes out but wanna take good care of it for storage!!

smallish update!

last nite i got the pillar twin guage pod in!

mounted 2 guages in there and another onto left hand side of the dash!

got the guage control unit and turbo timer mounted in the cavity where the ash tray should live!

ran into a couple of dilemnas though! :(

after wiring all the guages and boxes up we confirmed we need to extend the wiribg! sone by 2 inches and a couple are quite a big extension they need!

i want all the wiring hidden so it needs to be a bit longer in some places to reach!!

carbon console lid is done! however the original console plastic locking clip was a bit dodgy from the beginnin....needless to say i need a new one!

installed the steering wheel! removed it after 5 seconds coz the quick release makes it sit way too close to me! removed and put it on without the quick release n its wat better

went away for the long weekend so didnt touch it myself

however my mate was doing a bit of maintenance work on it for me! just making the current engine nice n healthy

changed all this stuff

gates racing timing belt full kit

gates power steering belt

gates water pump belt

gates ac belt

fuel filter

oil filter

installed trust relocator kit

new silicone radiator hoses

new plugs

all oils changed etc

found some faulty stuff too so ordered

new coil pack loom - original one looks a little dicey

water hose off one of the turbos - as above

i know its not a "build" update but maintaining it is just important i rkn

ill b back down there tomorrow after work hopefully get a couple photos :)

  • 2 weeks later...

been rather busy n havnt done much with the GTR unfortunately :(

have had all the wiring extended now but have just put it in the car nothings connected up!

changed front bumper indicators to nismo white ones looks fkn porn :)

ive also taken a fair few pieces off of the car which will be redone in carbon fibre!

hope to have a more decent update over easter holidays

    • 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.
