After nearly 3 months of ownership I finally had 5 seconds to myself to have a look around my PNM35. I'm stoked to report it's in astoundingly good nick, with the only signs of deterioration underneath being the outer wall of the exhaust rusting in a couple of small spots. Good excuse for an exhaust change then. :P

When I start the car the DVD player makes a shuffling noise, the radio works (albeit on Japanese frequencies) and the aircon seems fine on every setting, but the pop-up screen shows no signs of life at all, no noises to indicate it's trying to come out or anything. Note this is a non-Bose setup.

I had a look in the driver's footwell fuse box and as far as I can tell the only slot missing a fuse is one in the middle on the top row, which the diagram doesn't have a rating for, just some Japanese text in a smaller box. Is this supposed to have a fuse in it, and if so what rating?

Under what circumstances does the screen come up? Whenever the car is turned on? Or just when certain functions are performed such as putting the car in reverse? It's hard to diagnose an issue when I don't know if it should actually be doing anything in the first place.

I tried searching but every topic I looked at seemed to end with an unanswered question or wasn't quite what I was after.

Thanks in advance.

Screen will only come up when you press the button on the top. If no action, then it's ok to pull up the screen. That might provided enough motivation to get the motor working.

Mine had a fit once, when it would only come up 1/2 way, after pulling it up to the top of the travel it has worked fine.

Ok thanks, I'll give it a try. Is there any easy/non-damaging spot to get something like a screwdriver under to lift it? It's completely within the housing so I can't grab it with my fingers.

    • 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.
