Loveley suspension in the Forester. Very nice.

Seats, and everything are good, cant compare to the old commercial vehicle Navara.

Im sure he will love it, they have nice 4wd handling too.

:yes:

Turbo?

Yep, now I just need the more power bit!
I imagine a torquey 400kw and drag radials would destroy the old driveshafts. GTR rear end should be next to unbreakable. I hope.

I'm going to need an alignment too with adjustable toe and camber just whacked in to get it rolling. Craig Hall should be able to sort it out :)

Dont get anything with rose joints, stick with proper ball joints and bushes.

Firstly the rubber boots dont last because its the wrong shape/design, boots get too stretched and twisted.

Secondly the joints wear out very quickly.

So you end up having to re buy those bits in 6 months, (this time the good expensive ones) and its a terrible waste of cash.

I have had: Driftworks, Just Jap, and Hardrace rose joints sht themselves. Good thing about Hardrace is they have the option: bush or rose.

Driftworks do a nice Hicas lock, yet their castor rod braces are total crap.

Nice work btw...... :thumbsup:

Picked it up!

Bought this little Charade to fix up and use as a daily.

It's gonna need a bit of work haha.

Shocks need replacing. Damaged rims and bald tyres. Brake pedal goes to the floor. No dash lighting. Drivers seatbelt constantly locks. Drivers seat flexes as you lean into it. Crappy tinting that's peeling off. Front grill is just sitting in place. And then just general human slime... :/

It's gonna be a mad little beast when I'm done! :D

That's Madness Chris! Love it. ;)

I've been checking out so many vehicles on GumFace etc...

Just gotta sell the Beasty. Dropped the price a little too. :(

Anyone?

Looking forward to getting into it! Best part is it cost me 35 bucks for a tank today and a drive back from Sydney only used 1/5th of a tank haha!

Actually, depending on if and what I get (if and when the 33 goes), I may have some rims that will fit the Charade.

What year is it and the PCD etc?

Working on the charade today. Swapped passenger and driver side locks as the driver one was well worn. Pulled door cards out and am giving everything a good clean. Removed tint from passenger side windows and rear window. De-stickered the back end.

Ordered new shocks, tempted to get some king springs at some stage to take 20-30mm off it ;)

Do it! Kings aren't the best but they work. :D

Dad got the Forester today, Sad to say goodbye to the Navara.

That car (owned for nearly 20 years) has been part of Every House Move I have ever had starting from the age of 19. :(

So Happy for him n Mum to have a Loverly Upgrade though.

He stalled it twice leaving the Caryard. :rolleyes:

Finished cleaning the interior and put the seats and plastics all back in. New drivers door handle, new dash lights, new tyres and new oil.

Plugs, leads, coolant flush, shocks and brakes to go.

Gettin close to getting this thing in a drivable condition! :)

My maths say that's less than 2L/100km lol

I spend last night installing BM50 and gtr rear brakes, bleed, refit exhaust with modified hanger because GTR cradle is a bit different, tighten all bolts on draveshafts (really shouldve done that before refitting the exhaust!) and put normal wheels back on. Wheel alignment thismorning :)

    • 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.
