its close. and its touched a bit which is evident from some tarnished. i want to get a nice TI exhaust at some point. then ill work the hangers out.

a dude came up to me at the end meet who owns a nice 33gtr with some porn... i think work wheels. added me into the gtr cruising club. let me know if your a member. he was parked upstairs too. keen to get out with some more gtr guys

Yeah TI exhaust would be awesome but for me it's for minimal gain haha.

Have a 3in AM performance dump back from ages ago and it works well (and sticks out a abit)

nope not in that group.

Yeah was alright.

CF overlay in visible areas, rest i think was FRP.

Fitment is perfect and quality is good.

I mean, even if it was the original abflug lip, it would essentially look the same.

excellent will buy a few things from the current one going then.

was a bit hesitant due to fitment as its hard to umm shape and what not carbon overlay with out damaging it etc

as my boot already has holes in it from the original spoiler, im going to assume i can just drill into the base of the spoiler (carbon copy styles)

what screws/bolts whatever, would i use to hold it? just something relatively large and self tapping or?

Yeah, its a permenant fixture option lol. Yes it will damage the paint so would advise against it unless its never going to be removed. I used 3m tape on mine. 240kph and it stayed on. Dont remember which particular tape it was though, they arent all the same.

  • Like 1

yes well when i fit the spoiler it is unlikely i will be taking it off. when i do it will be for a respray anyway, the boot needs it due to some irreparable scratches.

i had a test fit yesterday with some double-sided thick tape but it was a bit shit. the fitment is not %100 either so it needs to be pressed down.

im thinking of just using the tape for placement and to seal it and using proper screws to fit, like i said i already have the boot holes so might as well make use of them.

picked up a larger front pipe and fitted it up in the hopes that i would get a bit more volume from the exhaust.

even though the pipe diameters are larger it made f**k all difference.

i know i need to probably do the dumps but ill do that when i do the turbos as its a bitch of a job.

i might even look at deleting the center muffler, the rest is quite large Apexi fitup and a decat.

    • 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.
