No worries mate.

Thats all you can do really, i didnt get the choice, just got given peanuts seeings as the car was never found unfortunately.

Looking to see how you end up, secretly hoping you keep it streeted.

Sad not seeing many 32's on the road hahaha.

ah man that sucks. Hope you moved onto bigger and better things?

haha secretly there is a chance for that happening....

i already see more ferraris/lambos than 32's these days...

They are getting rarer! especially the sedans

That's because they are all in the shop with farked motors hahahaha

or wrapped around a pole or defected or or or ahaha :|

i will keep an eye on your thread :thumbsup:

did a bit more work on it today. Headlights are finished and better than ever. I made up a custom shroud as before you could see through to the back it if 1" away haha (only i will notice the difference...).

Panels are off being painted and should be done shortly. After the it just needs matching LCAs put in and an alignment

Saw this, and thought it looked a little bit familiar. Looks like your car has turned up on the "Adelaide Japanese Car Spotting" page.

haha yeah one of the first times i drove it and parked it somewhere!

Photo must have been old then. Most people that post on there, supposedly post their photo straight away.

sorry i meant to say one of the first times i drove it somewhere and parked it somewhere after the crash.

Photo was taken and posted the same day

cheers mate.

got a bit more done on it today and yesterday

Got din gauges and boost gauge in, R34 LCAs and new ball joints also fitted

Put some kilometers on it and do some track days.
leak down test to check motor health than maybe bigger turbo / external gate setup.

Cosmetically there won't be many changes though.

After over 2 years of knowing this guy AND both having Blue R32 four doors AND both being named Cameron. We finally got both of our cars in the same place at the same time and both running.

hmm, they the same but look different, i'd take yours over the other though.. looks tougher :ph34r:

The other one is a GTS4 though :cool:

i do find picture of the front track difference funny :rofl2:

That really highlights how much better square plates are! Both cars look great man!

yeah square plates definitely suit it more

Suddenly last minute surprise track day

on the 12th of November i found out there was a spot in a private day at Mallala the next day (13th). I had realised that after putting in the R34 LCA's and getting an alignment i was now getting a bit of guard rub.

I spent the day doing Uni work as exams were fast approaching and only started to to do car prep at 5pm. I went to get a guard roller from a friend and in the same outing i ended up borrowing a harness from another mate.

I also bought a fire extinguisher because safety.

The reason i found out about the free spot at the track day was thanks to my Blue R32 sedan friend pictured further up.

In my first session i popped some cooler piping off and had to take the fornt bar off to put it back on

IMG_3469_zps1r9rqwej.jpg
I figured I'd just leave the bar off for the remainder of the day and save myself some zipties :rolleyes:

The Goodride RS sport tyres id bought over 20,000km and a few track day ago held up well and while not being the best tyre for the track, they were a good match for my skill level. bit melty but held up well

First time driving at Mallala and first ever grip day. Had a good time and car performed well with minimal issues throughout the day.
Drove it there, hammered it, then drove it home. You can't ask for any more than that!

Video
Unfortunately the Go Pro went flat before my best part of the day. Here is some matched footage from my Dash camera and a mark 1 Go Pro
Sadly this footage densest seem to contain a clean lap. warm up/dirt derp/driver pass/coolerpipe blow off
Skip to 2:17 for dirt derp. While not having any intention of setting time i managed to average a 1:27 what ever that means for Mallala

After the track day i thought i should confirm if the oil in my cooler pipes was from the motor or the turbo. so performed a quick compression test.

180+ psi and only +/- 5psi difference makes me happy. 3 years of NA+T life :rofl2: shout out to the people that said it wouldn't last 6 months +T'd

after the compression testing going well i wanted to get the full picture just in case. So I had a leakdown test done. Came back with extremely good results which meant i could go on to the next stage.

    • 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.
