Enough meat in rotors to drill and retap?

There is, the 'tabs' are the same size as the ksport. The rotor is tough as nails though!

Was going to be bit of a risk getting them drilled.

So I hunted around and hopefully when I get home tonight the 8mm rotors are there waiting for me! :unsure:

All the best with WTAC mate.

One question, what do you by way of controlling oil surge? Do you have a sump baffle or restrictor etc?

Cheers

Amir

No baffling. Oil cooler plus long lines and 5L of oil.

No restrictor, long lines run from the cam covers to the catch can, then to atmosphere. The can ends up with 20-30ml after a day on the track.

Rev limit is set just over 8k, though the shift light is set at 7k. I only hold to 8k if it means less gear changes.

hey mate love reading about this car! hopefully get mine to yours soon!

What mirrors / where did you get them from? Price?

Also what spoiler and how wide is it?

cheers mate!

I'm not sure what the total width is, 1610mm maybe? It fits flush with the body, so isn't extremely wide.

I bought it second hand on the forums. I think it's a PSI parts knock of the BEE*R R#3 GTR wing.

Is there any risk revving it to 8k on an internally stock engine?

You need to have the valve springs and retainers done etc to sustain the higher revs... Its not ideal but its not as if you are cruising down the freeway on 8k :P

my boost bleeds down to 15-16 by 8k. im sure if youre pushing 20psi the valves will start to float. im on the stock springs.

tao runs tomei springs in his 33.

im shifting around 7800 most of the time. it runs the limiter at wakefield and winton a couple of times a lap. it blows a little into the catch can, 20ml maybe.

I'd also like to know that, especially after reading the BC thread.

It was great having the ability to adjust the rebound.

Having only put them in for the event we are still learning how they react.

Don't have a bad thing to say about them.

Turn off the anti shake crap in YouTube that gives it the wobbles and makes it look like the Time Space continuum is bending around you.

lol, it's turned off. The arm on the camera mount is doing that (I think).

16s in, down the straight, that's the mount?

That's trippy.

It must be just at the right frequency to trip the camera out.

Any more work on the car Richo? What are the plans for 2015?

Play with the aero a bit, more power maybe. Not sure yet.

Still running a standard rear end, none of the arms are after-market. Might look at those.

    • 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.
