Clutch is back – looks brand new. Clamping force has gone from~2400 to 3900. Should be now up to the task of anything this new motor can produce.

Some more parts have started to arrive – Samco hoses for the intercooler pipes and new ducting for the front brake cooling ducts from the front bar.

New rear diffuser brackets. I will get photos of before and after for installation.

The ducting is a standard SAMCO product. Williams Race Services is the aussie dealer ('Mike' helped me out with my stuff):

Wind-up of clamp load and resurfing of the puks & flywheel. Everything was in pretty good order.

Sweet! Unlike mine that went up for a rebuild and came back totally replaced :laugh:

Have you got pics of the plates etc? Just out of interest :)

Coatings done – Sickkkkkkk!!!!

Hot side should be installed on the motor today or tomorrow.

I also recently invested in some 2200cc EV14 injectors (thanks DVS-JEZ for the awesome price) with the intention of eventually converting the car to flex-fuel. I was in Perth last week and found that it is currently illegal for the servo’s to sell E85 from the bowser. So E85 plans have been put on hold.

It didn’t really surprise me that much that they didn’t have bowser E85 TBH - they only got shell v-power a year or two back. The WA (or Wait Awhile) government always seems to be a few years behind picking things up from the rest of Australia.

Gearbox has also been picked up so everything is ready to go in. Should be installed and running by end of next week, just in time for shipping to Perth.

Piggaz - Paul didn’t do that intake mod you sent through due to time restraints. Next time i add some mods that require a new tune, i'll do it then.

Cheers,

Joel

    • 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.
