Well I have just finished cleaning up the car after the drive to/from World Time Attack Challenge. I was asked to put it in the show n shine by Alpha Omega Racing after finishing the install of the rear kit. Unfortunately I seem to have suffered from either heat stroke, or was mesmerised by all of the awesome cars (maybe both) and didn't take a single photo of the car there. Will post any up that I find but feel free to chuck some up if you find them or took some yourself, would like to see them.

I have also packed the car up ready to be dropped off at DVS Tuning tomorrow for Jez to work his magic. I'll be leaving it with him for at least a couple of weeks whilst he does a few things with the car.

Teaser #2

Haha I'm pretty keen too. Thanks man ^_^

Got the Nistune stickers from Matt at Nistune

So as you guys figured out, the package from Hypergear was a brand new ATR45SAT.

I opted to go internally gated for matter of ease and am very hopeful of what power Jez will be able to pull from it when he works his magic.

Here is a pic comparing size to the stock OP6 highflow.

​Alpha have a eta on the adaptors? Keen to get my hands on a set haha. Keen to see updates on E85 too! Keep it up.

Just waiting on confirmation of group buy pricing and it will be up. They were waiting to see if I had any issues with my install and I took a little bit longer then expected so I may have caused the delay there :(

I am hoping to have the group buy up next week, shoot me a PM and I'll make sure to message you once it has been posted :) . I already have a number of people I need to message as soon as the group buy is posted :)

This morning Jez notified me he had noticed a crack in my manifold, before I even finished typing a message to some fellow SAU buddies he had sent me another message saying he had one sourced lol.

Not super exciting, but here is what the new Fenix intercooler looks like mounted (prior to the new piping being fitted)

I kinda missed making some of the latest updates so now for a big (shortened) post.

Jez did an amazing job at mounting the Aftermarket Industries SP1200 surge tank up under the parcel shelf. The battery has now been moved to the side of the boot.

The plan was to pick the car up this Saturday ready to race at a supersprint event on Mount Panorama the following Sunday. The car had pretty much been pieced back together and this left only one thing being tuning, fit up the Nistune flex harness. As it turned out, I hadn't been sent the voltage adaptor with my harness so Jez was quick to get on to Matt at Nistune to get one sent out. This was Wednesday night. Matt had the adaptor in an overnight parcel first thing Thursday. Jez decided to get the 98pulp tune out of the way, so this was done Friday morning. (Obligatory Dvs Tuning dyno photo)

The car responded relatively well to the new setup and Jez was able to tune a reliable 270rwkw. No less then 5 minutes after I was told the results, I had notification of the parcel being delivered. Jez found it at his door and got to fitting the voltage adaptor for the flex harness a little bit later.

Then the sad news. Jez informed me that the Nistune software wasn't reading the flex sensor. At around 9PM he called it quits and I was not feeling hopeful as Matt from Nistune had now gone on leave for the next week. Jez had sent me this.

8AM Saturday morning I get a message from Jez "I got it reading". I was rather ecstatic to say the least. Dyno results below - suffice to say I was happy ^_^

Whilst the car was there I also had a new pod cover/enclosure made up.

Anyway, on to Sunday.

Supersprint at Mount Panorama. I didn't really take any pictures, but did have the GoPro in the car. I was still getting used the new power delivery and I had also asked Jez to remove the HICAS and TCS computers from under the parcel shelf. Unknowingly, this also 'disables' the ABS. If you didn't know this, now you do lol.

Anyway, I guess I'm pretty happy with the results, I claimed 1st in class and 2nd outright for the day :banana:

Here is a video of my fastest run for the day (could easily be improved upon).

The last I did the supersprint my best time was a 52.47. They shortened the course this time by about 100m, which we estimated to be about 2 seconds less in time. Today my best time was a 44.85. Suffice to say, I think the car goes a little quicker ;)

Nice vid...so jealous! How fast are you going down conrod?

Soooo goood! Hey man what tyres are you running, i cant be bothered searching through the 20 odd pages to find it haha..none the less though very nice pleased to see everything came together.. how much torque did it make? Was that full e85 tune?

Hey Tim,

How much of a difference did the AOR rears make?

To be honest it's hard to give an exact review, with 20% more power and no ABS it made the car rather different in terms of braking (the car travelling faster and also not being able to jump on them as hard as I used to to avoid lockups). They performed great though and did very much better balanced. Once I have had a couple of more days on track and have decided whether I want to fix up the ABS issue or not I should be able to give better feedback :)

Nice vid...so jealous! How fast are you going down conrod?

Speed.... hard to say exactly. Speedo goes to 180, just after the top of the rise on Conrod I am easily off the clock. I can't see revs exactly in my video, but based off memory it was around 5800-6000rpm in 5th gear, which converts to around the 230km/h mark :)

Running Hankook RS3's. Torque figure, Jez is getting back to me with today. Full E85.

    • 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.
