Hi Ants :action-smiley-069: You coming on the cruise on Sunday?

Sadly, I cannot. This weekend is busy with my fathers birthday on Sat and friends daughters 1st bday party on Sunday that we have been invited to.

Will try and see if can come up for a monthly meet and dinner though - it's not that easy FTM with a young family

Its awesome!!! It's a good thing the food places I really like are the opposite side of town to me or on either Sunny or Gold coast... It's too much effort to get fat...

lol - probably a good thing then eh?

Got my car back!

2hp short of the 400 club. At least i can be a big boy in the 300hp club!

There was a bit of dicking around involved (fuel lines falling off, AFM's not balancing, forgot to change the fuel filter, that sort of stuff) but EFI sorted it and the car is driving a lot better than it was all round. Valve springs are starting to be an issue at this point and i'm not looking to do any more engine work, so that's where she's going to stay for a couple of years. Pretty pleased at it (I mean, 450hp would have been great, but it is what it is: 20 year old engine), next stop, more suspension and brakes.

Very nice mate.

398hp is 296rwkw - its a good number for a standard RB26 and probably one of the more useable ones too lol

As long as it is all realiable, I think you must test all them horses out ;)

Good stuff Pete! How many boosts???

Sadly, mine is still having issues :( Won't be running at the test and tune on sat that's for sure, but have a zed guru coming round on sat to hopefully get to the bottom of it

I thought you were a Zed guru? :P

My motto is Fix it or F**k it. haha Sick of f**king it, didn't buy this car to be troubleshooting for weeks!

Mates motto is just fix it lol

Plus he can tune, and runs a restore and modification business ;)

    • 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.
