Chucked some wheels on I had laying around till my 19's rock up from japan

Tures arent the right size for a 35 but just what I had.

Fronts Work VS-KF 18x9+9 (15mm spacer so -4 effective) and Work euroline XR 18x9.5+8 with some 275/35 I had no use for

I haven't done anything to my car recently apart from gearbox/clutch/flywheel which was fun....

next on my list new rotors and pads, then to save my pennies for some Motordyne goodies.

I finally got my Tomei headers on, no issues with the steering column :)

Gained 6kws haha Nothing crazy dyno wise but can definitely feel/hear the difference :) (Now I have Tomei headers > Berk HFC's > TDX2)

Got the headers and retune done at ECC (East Coast Customs), great guys!

Also off topic, whilst I was there a supercharged 350Z made 284kws on the dyno, the charger sounded crazy loud

double like.

nothing big but I fitted a grounding kit on my car last night...improved transmission straight away. so much smoother and lag reduced greatly. really happy with the kit!

Gratuitous rim shot...

Picked up the rims Thursday, Pirelli P Zeros on Friday lunch, rims on Friday night.

How good is the VQ with headers. Got mine done through them also. Got a vid up?

Why would there be issues with the steering column?

Tomei are Japanese and Japanese cars are RHD in case you hadn't noticed :P

Haven't really had chance to drive the car much only had a miserable rainy drive on the highway back home. Unsure if there will be a video, the video doesn't really do the exhaust note any justice

Here's my first dyno run a few weeks back when I didn't have extractors (Berk HFC, TDX2):

I checked with Tomei USA if the headers they sold in the USA were the same as the ones sold in Japan, which they are but until they were installed I was still a little unsure :/

    • 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.
