OEM stuff is fine, though unless you need the gear urgently I'd shop around as I've never found these guys to be particularly competitive on pricing.

Well tbh i havnt looked around yet but under 400 for the full genuine kit with a water pump seems decent to me?

I reckon that's a pretty good deal mate, I had both the normal and N1 water pumps in my old 32, negligible difference in temp on the hand controller between the 2, and no problems with either

I've got a gates belt on the 34 at the moment, 30,000 on it so far with no dramas. Went with a standard water pump over the N1

I think the fact that it's all genuine would tie in well with your build too

clutch pivot ball is squeaking like crazy, got under the car to have a look.
being damn holiday i coudnt get to the shop to buy lube. what lube should i get? something heavy, heavier than wd40 i read.

also as you can see, for some reason i dont have a rubber boot on the fork. hoping its not full of shit i there but i cant be bothered pulling the box out if i dont have to.

anyway to the point, listen to this...make you cringe?? :)
what do you think, is it f**ked or will a lube be ok for a while?

Also im trying to work out if that is a small cat or if its just a decat pipe, is there an easy way to find out?

Not sure about the gearbox squeak

But they look like after market mild steel front pipes and a 3" stainless decaf like the just jap ones, had one on my old gtr but you won't know for sure till you check inside the cat

ok, looks like im gonna actually have to address the tires situation before i get the new wheels.
:dry:

Im still blown away how the car can handle on this sort of shit.

oh yeah, then this happened.
all i can say is its kinda a tradition.

clutch squeek is sorted For now.

Took my C pillar out to see if it was repairable and its completely f**ked and fallen to bits, looks like ill finally have to buy another one. Grrr.

Now, how the f**k do I release the bottom clasps to release the back seat (bottom section.) Holding the wire loops On the floor close to the front.

tiny update

sick of the standard bent and generally not fitting numberplates.
was gonna get the xx black plates but they have gone to YY plates which look odd.

so ordered some custom plates which i always thought would suit a gtr.

20150410_125601_zpsbdezqipl.jpg

get it?

im not usually a fan of custom plates but i don't mind something that the very occasional person would get. plus they come in square rear and slim front and are black.

    • 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.
