I see your point.

I need to have a proper sit down with my mechanic and have a good talk

I've just spent the first 2-3 hours of my shift reading your build thread...... again :)

Is your beast going to be at texi this weekend? I wouldn't mind having a chat with you about your build (also need a guinea pig for some gopro vids :P)

Ill have a chat to you and show you over the car if you like ;) It will be at Texi but plumbed back and gate pressure, its not really setup to do that sort of event and it will be my first time......... errr........... again! lolz

Its amazing what the standard NEO can handle!

I might look at buying another NEO (preferably with less k's) and slowly add the parts then drop it in.

I want to do a wire tuck as well to keep the bay nice and clean. This also gives me the chance to paint the covers

Since the 34 is my daily I want to reduce the amount of down time with the car as possible

I just had a read of the write up you did on the FP HTA turbo's, they sound like a very good option.

The GTRS at the moment is pretty good but it will eventually reach it's limits. Insight said they had one on a SR20 running E85 and pushed it to 280-290kwatw

I really don't want to push the HKS any further than 80%, maybe 90% capacity

I haven't considered a high mount option but may now looking at the HTA's

It's a decision that I think is one if the best on my build so far, the whole car has transformed and I love it!!! You should look at a HTA3073 and have the potential for 350-360kw but super response too!!!

Update

I just ordered a pair of Bride Euro 2 seats from perfectrun.jp

I should have ordered them when the yen was better but i got my bonus last fortnight

Can't wait until I get these puppies in the car

  • 1 month later...

So my seats arrived on tuesday but since I was in Melbourne for 3 days they are still sitting in their boxes

Hopefully I'll find some time over the next few days to install these (once I recover and try to drain all alcohol content from my system)

My opinion is to stick with the stock NEO and bolt ons, do the AFM and tune it up.... I've been running over 350kw on my stock engine for 7000km no prob, it's even seen 28psi on the stock headgasket... The NEO is the way to go, spend the money on the right combo of bolt ons and enjoy.... Everytime i see someone go down the 26 or 30 path with a 34 I just scratch my head and wonder why.... I'm running huge power now and have spent the money on the bolt on parts, if the engine lets go, $1200 and go again!! I could kill 10 engines to your 1 for the same price....

Have you been in an RB30 though? Ohhhhhhh the torque... Completely different animal.

Thanks guys

They look a lot more subtle and understated than the ones that say bride over and over up the centre. I thought these only came in black and red but yours look sort of grey. Or is that what the black looks like? either way, great colour.

Yeh these are the black ones, the photo makes them look like a dark grey for some reason

Wow great seats, good price too. How much was the shipping on them? Straight bolt on?

I think it was around 500-600 for shipping. The whole lot ended costing me ~$2300, then $400 for customs when they landed.

Yeh straight bolt on. Bolt the rails together, attach the seat belt then bolt the rails to the seats.

Just make sure you hook the seat belt wire back up, I forgot to do this and had to unbolt the seat again lol

This. Plus which type rails did you go with?

I went the MO rails, I think there's 3 different rails you can get for the ER34.

Have you been in an RB30 though? Ohhhhhhh the torque... Completely different animal.

I might eventually go a 30 bottom end, but thats way way down the track

Not a big upgrade but I bought a set of bonnet dampers from a recent group buy and put them in on saturday, they look awesome

I've been hitting up Eastern Creek every wednesday I can recently and enjoying what the car can do.

I'm happy with how I've improved in the 3 nights I've gone down there, from a 15.1 down to a 13.9 so I'm stoked.

Still have a lot to learn though but I'm loving it.

Awesome build mate, I've been reading about the GTRS and it seems like a good turbo

Thanks Jake. I'm very happy with the GTRS at the moment, even though it's not getting pushed to it's full potential. I'm looking forward to see what it's capable of once I fixed up the AFM, VCT and injector issue

Things have been slow on the upgrade front recently.

I've have decided to change my exhaust though, the HPI dump and HKS exhaust isn't giving me what I wanted out of the car.

I've got a brand new X-Force system at my mechanic house waiting to go in this wednesday. Stainless steel from the dump to and including the cat and mild steel from cat back

    • 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.
