were they the ones for sale for ages out of a 33?

they look good

yeah they were up in the SA for sale thread a while ago.

They are heaps comfy and hold me in very well even though they are reclinables.

Genuine stuff is so expensive, can't imagine buying the new :blink:

A side effect with them on the super low bride rails is my shoulder now sits below the window line haha... makes traffic driving a bit more challenging

yeah mine is the same, its good to have headroom and legroom again though.

The headroom wasnt ever an issue for me haha im not that tall :glare:.

the extra leg room between the wheel on the other hand is fantastic

love the headlights! lol wish i had the skills to do it!

haha it was my first time doing anything like that. just take your time and its now harder than fitting a gearbox/turbo/brakes.

and the light output is well worth it. Definitely one of the best mods i have done for drive-ability

Car was not getting up to temp and dropping way too cold when cruising at higher speeds so i figured something was up with the thermostat.

yup there is your problem.

Awesome thread man! & nice looking 32. I had a 4 door myself, which I put a genuine gtr front end on.post-132714-14380752785081_thumb.jpgthis pic was taken after driving it home from the panel shop! post-132714-1438075345046_thumb.jpgthis wasn't even 12hrs later! Chuck pulled out in front of me, bent chassis. Car was written off, was not happy[emoji26]. But have another one now, and I'm currently putting all the parts i salvaged off the old one, minus gtr front end.post-132714-14380755211665_thumb.jpgkeep up the good work, eager to see how it turns out.

Thanks man i am glad you enjoyed the read. very sad to hear about the other car. i had visions that would happen to mine on the drive home with the GTR front end.

do you have a build thread for the new one?

i too had the gunge.

did you do a chemical flush of the system or anything, was there much else in there, my waterpump was also a bit gunged.

yeah i ran a flush through but i did do that when i changed the radiator back when i got it so not much came out. mainly just around the thermostat

Wasnt this car on episode 5 of lend us a ride?

haha fantastic memory! i was there back when it had the type m front.

  • 5 weeks later...

The end of an era :unhappy:

shit happens.

based of the data my DVR/dash came collected 47km in an 80km zone through an unsigned(no yellow speed sign) corner. rocks/mud/sticks all over the road resulting in a very anticlimactic crash and the damage you see below.

    • 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.
