Some new Intakes on the way, AFM's.

-Strengthened box on it's way and alot of other things ( over night parts from japan :) ) - still love this comment

-Got to enhance the engine once completed, so anyone experienced or knows anyone who can add some colour, hide wiring's etc..just let me know. ( I don't mean just a simple coat of the rocker covers )

-Brand New limited edition bronze XXR 527 wheels put on a couple weeks ago. ( purchased from SAU Member Gerz- thanks!!)

-Slowly progressing to completion as i change my mind all the time :).

-Considering going single turbo if offers come my way from anyone selling. So that means i would get rid of my current setup if anyone would be interested.

Thanks mate,

Never really been a fan of these threads to be honest, but seems like most people here have good honest opinions and not the usual crap talk.

And if people do go off track, simply report it and we come in and fix :)

btw - more pics :D

Yeh that's sweet, I thought the ecu would have a function like that.

lol i agree about the pictures, Should of taken some snaps when the motor was back from machining.

it's nice feeling going through a new motor all nice a smooth

Definitely sticking with twin turbo's now,

Got some new turbosmart Dual port BOV's on the way.

  • 3 weeks later...

Twin 2860-5 Set up goooooone now

Full single set up ready to go in this week.

Thanks to GTRBOYZ everything is practically brand new,

A few more upgrades and im almost there. hopefully i can get some dyno sheets up shortly.

Still considering on e85 after all this is done, maybe i just like the smell... who knows

Thanks mate,

Yes I am a little sceptic myself still, however my builder is pretty certain using these turbo upgraded parts, we can acheive full boost much earlier.

obviously with my engine work a few other things. I was happy around the 4k mark initially but this would be awesome if it works out.

maybe the Candy apple red block im getting done will make the turbo spool faster :)

    • 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.
