Hey people my son and I cruized past in our blue r33 gtst tonight. I am a noob and have never been to anything or posted before.  I would assume that it was you guys out the front of super cheap at about 9:30pm?  I was going to stop and say Hi!! but my son was a bit nervous to get out of the car (He is 17 and thought you guys looked a bit dodgy  haha?.) We have only had the car since december and have been working on it flat out every weekend. So after 2 months and about $3 grand it has finally become a reliable vehicle.  I would like to be involved with the drive days cruizes and what not. I have wanted a skyline ever since the domination of Gentleman Jim and Skaifey in the R-32 GTR winfield nissan group A touring cars and have finally entered the realm of the NISSAN. Any feedback would be appreciated.

P.S. I am old and crummy at the interweb thingy.  Since we have got the car we have done.  Enigine oil and filter,  fuel filter, Brake fluid bleed and replace, gearbox oil, diff oil with ford l.s.d paste and tons of figure 8's, full new 3" s/s exhaust with 100cell cat and 2xmagnaflow mufflers (i fabricated this), replaced front brake pads and discs (apr slotted), 4 new tyres, lifted the ride height, new coil packs and plugs, new radiator, outer tie rod ends, front castor arm bushes, Re-worked intercooler piping, fitted catch can, new pod filter, replaced snapped turbo studs, inner diff boots, re-wired under the dash, modified the throttle cable and bracket, New gear box boots, New rear speakers. etc.etc. My back is very sore but it was worth it.  Looking cool and going fast that's what cars are for.  My son and I have done nearly all the work in the driveway at home.  Madness!!!

    • 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.
