Didn't have any matte black paint left oh well, barely can be seen within the heatshield anyway, did a quick aluminium sheet metal jobbie on the factory heatshield.

May need to trim the heatshield near the flanges to get better clearance in those areas.

Installed my "washer bottle" today :rolleyes:

Lookin realy schmick mate. I like how you retain the stock look.

Quick note though ,if funds permit get yourself some Split fire Di ignition coils they will don wonders on your car (do it before tuning).

I was considering replacing the coil packs at some stage but just couldn't justify the price tag. Especially when i found out tonight that my friend bought 2nd hand Audi R8 coil packs for his Golf R with a certified 2,000km for $75 :rant:

I've seen genuine coil packs on eBay go for $355 for the set, but unsure as to whether or not they are really genuine.

Link for anybody that might be able to tell or have come across them?

It was either that or lash out some drug money for the Okada Projects, but haven't heard enough reviews to justify it yet either

Don't need okada's mate. A set of new OEM or split fires will be fine. If you still have issues, there is a mod that you can do that deleted the standard ignitor box. Misfire issues gone. PM me

For info if it comes to that.

Michael a tip for ya! Get it detailed (you do it yourself) then take pics ;)

Stuff like detailing kills me, I wish the car would just forever stay clean haha

Yeah, pretty happy to stick with new OEM! The 16 year old coil packs seem to working fine with no missing at all, but replacing them prior to tuning would be a good idea to avoid a potential 2nd trip to the tuner!

Close up pics of the steering wheel? :D

I'll grab some tomorrow, is there concern for it's authenticity? Because to be honest, I don't even know if it is, but I purchased it off a top rated seller on ebay and was hoping for the best. Paid genuine price for it, so hope it's genuine product.

    • 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.
