hi all i just moved to okinawa from the united states and recently purchased my dream car an r32 gtr. the car has 600hp and has what feels like an unsprung clutch in it. i was told its an os giken triple plate. the release bearing is making an incredible amount of noise and i wanted some insight as to what clutch i can use for driving this thing around the island is sooooo tiny and there wont be any chances to stretch her legs until she goes stateside in 4 years. any help would be greatly appreciated. also i looked at he thread about clutches and nothing seemed to help my situation. i also would like to know what spring rate coilovers to buy as i am looking at fortune autos i have had them on past cars and loved them again i am looking for comfort not performance as the car will never see hard launches track days etc just maybe a spirited start every now and then.

thank you in advance to all who can help!

Just keep in mind.....good coilovers cost around $1500 per corner. Anything less than that cannot be described as a "good coilover", really only being able to be described as "not terrible" at the upper end down to "really crap" by the time you get to $400 per corner.

I mean, just good dampers on their own cost more than $300 each. And they're only "good" not "great" in terms of the toys that come with them. ie, they're not adjustable, not height adjustable.

Brand names for damping = Ohlins, Bilstein and some others, depending on how rich you are.

Brand names for Jap coilovers = Cusco, Tein and so on, and there is no overlap between those lists.

valving? shouldnt that be adjustable?

BC's are adjustable, doesn't make them any good at all, whatever the setting.

A quality shock is gonna cost some coin either way. A Nismo S tune should do the trick bang for buck.

Not sure how good the Hypermax or Cusco.

If you come across the Ohlins black flag get them.

they are as rare as bigfoot riding a unicorn on a rainbow.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
