Cheers man! Loving my skyline! Not quite sure. Taking a drive tomorrow morning to my grandads at like 6am. I'll let you know what I'm getting, I only got 5psi around the block, not even pushing it.

Remember how I said about there will be a vl that will race anyone? f**k man. On kings smith rd? I think it is a custom green vl with esp racing on the back window, with a sr20 or something in it thought he was fully sik sideways ... I got to 90kph quite quickly and he was on my ass... Then over took me and kaned it down the road hitting close to 9,000 rpm... Pissing out with smoke. Would have reached 200... Then he got stuck at a red light. I had no one in the right lane so yea. Bogged down in first really bad then spun into second. Then felt like a dickhead so I backed off, and yet agian he flogged it past me after sitting on my ass for 5 mins. f**king tosser! It's guys like that make you angry...

I never thought I'd like a 4 door skyline.. But man yours is sexy! Oh and does your driveway have any black paint left over from when I left? Haha

Mani you can send off your 34 turbo and use the SS1 in the mean time. Then when it's back you can sell it

Turns out I can pay him $950 and he sends me a high flowed one and then I send him mine back once installed and he gives me $100 cash back.

Can't argue with that really.

Although I might keep my stocker as a spare if its only worth the $100 cash back.

Hopefully I can sell the SS1PU for a fair price.

Haven't checked shaft play or anything but we will know in a month or so time when the 34 finally arrives

a custom green vl with esp racing on the back window,

Yeah that VL lives near here I think. I doubt it has an SR in it but maybe. More likely it's an RB running on 4 cylinders due to Flogging it too much. :D

Didn't notice paint. It was a very light touch.

Did nothing on my car but the girlfriend picked up a sss n15 today so gave it a wash and will detail it for her tomorrow and find some rims to replace the ugly 17'' chromies once it passed for rego. I chucked a tsurikawa on the back for lols as well.

I know of a green VE with a walkinshaw bonnet who loves to race anyone, shame that I always seem him in the oppisite direction hitting redline every time. There are a few regular nob heads, another is a HSV senator who fengs it about - doing 120+ in 50's - beyond stupid. ANNND a VE ute (Young driver) who seems to like to cut people off or doesn't know the road rules.

Speaking of stupid - if anyone knows a Black Pearl WRX RS (Hatch) with the number plates AJC - tell the idiot to pull his head in. I've seen him 3 times on my way to work and he has been an absolute idiot all 3 times. Swerving in and out of cars, almost hitting bumpers and flogging it to 140km/h every chance he gets - I was following him for a bit but he got wayy to dangerous so I backed off, later I drove passed him as he was stuck behind traffic and gave him an earful of a turbo. I'm suprised he hasn't crashed his car yet.

@Andrew - As I am all for people giving their cars a kick - I wouldn't like to see an L Plater doing it nor would I want an L Plater "beating" me at the lights LOL Whoever is "teaching" you how to drive must be sleeping :P Whenever I kicked Dad's car (Nothing impressive) I got a belting :(

L plates or not you shouldn't be doing that shit on the road. It's what gives us a bad name.

True true - but saying that is so unrealistic that's it's not worth saying at all. You may as well say "If you're going to do it, at least do it in as 'safe' environment as you possibly can". Because at the end of the day - people will put their foot down - fanging 150km/h is just stupid but accelerating off quickly in a 'safe' environment can be done with little harm.

My meaning was that to single out L platers is wrong, them doing it is no worse than someone else.

It also gives us a bad name and we do not accept nor encourage that type of behavior here on sau..... :ph34r:

I've got the appropriate 'safe' environment for you and it's NOT a public street. it is called a racetrack, which the streets we drive on are not. we need a dragstrip in canberra...

Agreed, no one should do it because it does give us a bad name. However it is worse a L-plater doing it as they are still learning to drive and have very lttle experience.

I would rather an L plater do it with an experienced driver showing them the ropes than on the P's with no one to guide them.

Canberra roads are a dragstrip - FORM ONE LANES BABY !

Most the time a driver crashes is mostly being out of control. An L-Plater, generally does not have the skill / know-how on how to correct driving - A Driver with an L-plater does not have control the clutch, brake or accelerator - and is only available to a bit of the steering wheel.

No one should be doing things that put themselves at risk of crashing (Putting your foot down in a 180kW car on dry roads with little to no bumps can be done safetly). But again, you're right in the sense that people shouldn't do it, but hell, even sometimes I give Rosie a bit of a kick - but I do this near no other cars that if I cause a crash I am hitting nothing but trees / off road.

All of the above.

:spank:

Except Jeremy's comment.

You disagreeing with what I'm saying? :S It seems people are not understanding what I am saying. It is REALITY that people do it. I'm not hiding the fact that everyone is a little angel on the road, becuase they're not- so instead of covering up what people do, I am explaining to do it in the safest place - and I'm not referring to burnouts and fishys. I'm talking about putting your foot down going 20km/h the speed limit of 80/90km/h

It seems that everyone is acting like their an angel on the road who drive like a grandma LOL

im not talking about drifting or anything. Either way. Id rather a Learner learn from someone before they go out by themselfs. I have no idea why they dont teach controlling a car sideways for your L's. Similar to the stay upright course for bikes but for cars they teach you how to drift basically.

And jeremy i agree with you i terms of putting your foot down a bit. But alot of drivers (including open license) will have no idea what to do the same as a L plater.

Mik - if your not using the other exhaust give me first dibs plse

No Mine!!!

Swapped back to the old muffler today.

Someone re welded my pipe, now it fits even better. Sweeet. :D

No more melting the bar. Thanks man, its heaps better.

Great it fits, I was stressing a bit that it wouldn't fit or line up properly with everything else. Good thing I didn't just chuck it :D

    • 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.
