Lol yeah well you are now driving a steam roller :blink:

The really twisty bit between Buckets Way and home was good BUT a lot of crap roads for that small patch of fun!

hahaha yep.

have you driven from dungog to stroud? stroud hill road i think, there is a really twisty bit, plenty of hair pins.. crap roads eaither side but that section is fun. and the stretch from gresford to dungog is also pretty good, again a few real tight bits which is really fun, but crap roads either side again.

the good thing on a bike is the road dont need to be quite as good to have alot of fun on them, especially when your learning!

haha the wide body does look sick but bit un-nessesary for me atm hah. 200kw isnt that hard to control.

Its an Evo, point and shoot ;)

Yep that is the road i meant! Carmen to a screeshot of the GPS and its just a spaghetti road!

It was fun in the 34 but was still a bit bumpy as the front would bottom out under hard braking and cornering! (Of course doing the speed limit the whole time)

need to get a bike then? ha

Hmmm...

Too Complimentary :P

haha that looks mad!

i dont see a problem?...

:laugh:

Nah, my sister was always trying to get me on a bike but she does enough damage for both of us, not sure if you saw but it looks like she wrote off the ZX10r finally...... well.......again!

did see something like that on fb... not good.

she must go pretty hard?

Keep it clean! Its my sister you are talking about :domokun: lolz

But on a bike she has no fear! :no:

Just got back from the 11 hour drive getting the car.

It has a sticky fuel gauge so we played it safe and refueled every 200km's. To my surprise with highway driving + a bit of stop start in Sydney it managed about 9-10l/100ks...

Is it just me or is that pretty awesome for a car with 330rwkw. We punched it a few times here and there as well but mostly just cruising.

Where did you pick that up from?

330rwkw sounds like itd be a good kick in the pants!

Got it from Junee mate and I have driven it up to Port Macquarie to be stored at my Parents house for the time being.

I am pretty stoked on it, its in very good nic with the only issues being a couple oil leaks (cam cover seals and what I believe to be the oil drain pipe off the turbo). Will be getting onto those when I can.

I also came across another strange occurence with the car just now when I was down in the garage admiring my purchase haha. I made a thread here if anyone wants to have a look and offer any info/advice.

Also while Im at it, is it safe if I degrease / use a gurni on my engine bay? I just want to degrease it the best I can so I can spot exactly where these leaks are coming from. Whats the best method

Edited by Bennis

people do gurni but you can try to avoid electrics all you like and you may still f**k something haha,

I pressure pack degreaser things if im looking for a leak etc then run it to see where it leaks from, more direct and safer.

as far as cleaning I think people armorall the engine bay? spray on wipe off.
gurni could chips paint on engine covers or paint in engine bay so id play it safe and do It the hard way :)

    • 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.
