Has anyone seen the rising Sunday event at barbagello on the 4th? Or been to one before?

Cars n Coffee is this sunday at Kwinana... are they both on the same day?

 

i went to the first Rising Sunday. heaps of cars got stickered. was a good day but

Clearly you just don't appreciate how rare the Hyundai getz gtr is. It's a 1/1 worldwide. Will be highly collectable in the future.

If your not into collectable cars and like the getz tuner scene then this beast is for you! images%20(1).jpg

Never seen a bad boy like this before? It matches my swimming clothes!car-modification-fail-turbo.jpg.4c1bea07c03e73c563efd30492134a4a.jpg

Hey Trev I was looking up lifter issues on Sau and it had your posts solving the issue?! (r&d maniac) I've noticed a slight rattle in the exhaust cam p/s on no.6. I disconnected the coil pack at rattle revs. 2800-3200 and the rattle went away, phew no piston slap or gudgeon pin issues etc. Was wondering the fix for this without bagging my mate dave out.? Doesn't affect the performance at all and I's only in the specific rev range with the H.t. Lead disconnected? I changed the oil on Saturday and it runs sweet except for the noisey lifter on 6? At those r p.m.?

Doesn't affect the performance at all and I's only in the specific low rev range with the H.t. Lead disconnected it disappeared. I changed the oil on Saturday and it runs sweet except for the noisey lifter on 6? At those r p.m.?

I ran it hard on Saturday morning early on the old oil and it was noticeable at idle. Only noticeable at the 2800-3200 after the oil change? Would assume it only needs a new lifter? or clean (doubt it) and gapping not valve stem seal honing etc? Any advice?

Can only pick up the rattle in 2nd gear under mild acceleration?

i stripped and cleaned my lifters when i rebuilt the engine because i had a rattle for over 100,000Kms. 

 

ended up getting a different head and modified it and used the lifters that came from the new head. the rattle is still there but turned out to be an injector which doesnt affect performance so i havent replaced it yet but i might in the near future as im considering an injector upgrade to top feeds

how loud is it? 

 

not sure if you can use an oil flush to get the gunk out... they arent too bad to clean apart from having to get them out. there are also a couple different varieties on our engines. look the same externally but different sizing internally

sorry too hard to guess without looking. 

 

id imagine with more revs the oil pressure would prevent lifter noise so idle would be worse but thats purely an edumacated guess.

    • 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.
