Hi everyone

Since i have have posted most of projects on here, its time to post another. Over the last 6 months I have managed to sell my other cars the R33 GTR is gone to fellow SAU member Spenda and the 350Z i sold to a local young fella. Now that i am debut free and have a even better paying job and we also have a drift track up here in Nth QLD now,i have decided to build a drift car which what i have always wanted, the R32 GTR is now pretty much complete we just take it out every now and then and try improve our times.

I picked up a early model 91 180SX which just had the basic bolts on's or so i thought, too my surprise it has a fully forged engine :). Now I don't usually mess around with my cars so this one will be no different. I want the car to look good whilst have a bulletproof engine/drivetrain. The car at the moment is nearly fully stripped and is ready to be stitch welded and just have to get a hold of rollcage and weld that in.

Here's a list of parts that i currently have and are on order:

Drivetrain:

where's teh supra build you were talking about?

This is my spare time piece and quiet project away from everyone else just me when i'm bored lol. The Supra is still on going waiting on a couple of things but is about 70% finished.

The engine will look pretty sexual when she's done, i am spraying it all Flat Black all over e.g all pumps, alternator, block, head, sump etc. I am gonna paint the Cam Cover Crackle Black and i will leave the plenum, turbo, intercooler, pulleys etc all polished alloy. Colour theme for car and engine bay is White, black and silver, i would like it to look as good or if not better than the R32 engine bay.

I want to look something like this in the end:

    • 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.
