So I've been to plazmaman. Apparently I have to shift the fuse box more to the guard.

So unbolt it, push it more to the left, redrill the hole then bolt it back in.

No where on their website does it say that shit needs to be moved....

Also the above piping, one is for the bov and the other is for the idle speed/control

Picked up my headlights today from being cleaned and treated.

If you have a look at some of the front end picks of my car you would of seen how bad these were especially the drivers side.

I'm very happy with how these turned out

Ah yeah i forgot to mention that! Mine is just a tech screw and cable tie lol

Lights look good on the car

Ran in to a small problem though, the bar doesnt fit with the new intercooler piping. Time for a bit of shaving

Just make sure you take a small bit at a time and do a good job of it... So many people hack them and just fk it all up!

Yeah that's the plan. We were discussing ways to do it Thursday night, keeping an even and clean look on both sides. I'll see how it turned out when I check on the car tonight after work

Hopefully once this is on and finish up the lines on the cold side, the rest of the gear should just fall in to place.

Question for anyone whos following my build.

Plugged in the new haltech platinum pro, turn on the reds and the aircon fan switches on. Turn the car off, take the key out and the fan stays on as well as the reds. Fuel pump switches off. Turbo timer is connected but not turned on.

Anyone else come across this before?

Thanks dude. I'm happy with how the bay has turned out so far, still very far from my end goal.

As for the vct, the module was playing up since my last tune and it was holding the car back in 3rd gear so it needed to be replaced anyways so my mechanic decided to replace it with cam gears. I trust his judgement so we'll see how it goes when it gets tuned.

Speaking of tune, it's getting dropped off in the next few days :D

Can't wait until I get to drive it again

O.......k a bit of an update.

The car went to the tuners last monday, the wednesday before that he came out to my mechanics house and put a base tune in.

It was running very rich and rough, as you would expect.

While at the tuner, it was having a problem with idling. Sometimes it would idle fine, other times it would drop below 900rpm then switch off.

Eventually that got sorted.

Last wednesday my mate was on the phone with the tuner and I received the news that the car wouldn't be ready for mondays track day.

I was gutted that she wasn't going to be ready but I couldn't do much about it.

Last night while hanging out at my mates he gives me the news that the car is having further problems.

It's making 12psi boost on idle, sounds like it has a 2 step set up and won't rev past 3k rpm.

Tyler (my tuner) has been on the phone with Haltech directly and Adam from JEM.

Both Haltech and Adam have logged in to my car to diagnose the problem but neither of them can work it out.

Adam even suggested to tow the car over to him to have a look personally.

Haltech have suggested to swap out the ECU, which is being organised.

I can't thank Tyler (PVS), Haltech and Adam (JEM) enough at the moment. The effort and focus they are putting in to get my car up and running is crazy. This is the reason these guys have such a good name.

    • 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.
