Have seen that before.. Leaks under hard throttle only

I came in after a few different runs and let it idle, seen nothing. Turned it off and watched for a while, nothing. Backed out of the garage, nothing on the ground, it was a hard farker to find :/

From what was said there was no noticeable power gains with the addition of the larger dump pipe, said he took the exhaust off and there was some good gain. Very disappointing at this stage but as long as it is going hard to 7500-8000rpm without farting and I do not have to top up every day, all good :yes:

Good power to 7500.

So what if it doesnt make peak hp after this.

Get it back and drive it and make sure there are no more gremlins.

Enjoy the response because that is how it was setup.

Dont worry about dyno queen figures......... just drive the f#$kin thing.

haha, I know what you mean. This thing was still fun when it would only go to 6000rpm , all good.

I only know how I want it to feel, Dyno is a window to see how it gets to the 7500rpm :)

They said there was no noticeable gains on the dyno with the bigger dump and cat, but maybe the response has picked a little up with the extra size and not noticeable on the Dyno ?

I am sure the car will be OK, it s not in there interest to give it back to me stuffed again, shit happens but that would be stupid :/

If it is stuffed I will have another mechanic look at it !

Skids. Limiter bashing. You have to check the rev limiter.

Will do mate, I have just the private road to test it on, shake the limiter, not sure about the skids, this sucker holds the road tight on all 4 :)

If they have fixed the problems and all is good, even near good is good enough, I do not want to go to Sydney anymore for work on my car, I will find someone closer for any smaller type jobs.

I will never need another build, I am done with it and this car meets all my boyish needs, love the look, its history, goes quick in a straight line. great on the twisty shit and I love driving it , farking heaven :worship:

It has grip????? What is that like?

My R32 gets its drift on easy :)

Need a controller.

haha, I am the controller :)

Your 32 sounds like fun, years ago I would have been there with you.

But I like the feel of it holding the road and wondering when it will let go, thats enough excitement for me, to each his own.

Just a few hours to go before I get an idea if it is going any better, fingers X

Then just a couple of touch ups an in a few weeks, all done :)

Whoooops said that before :/

    • 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.
