Yeah dur! Lol

I've been saying twins are gay since 2008. Piggaz can back me up on this!

I actually like my car looking bone stock as I have too much respect for the R32 GTR so you won't find me putting a single on.

I love the twins.

In terms of gay, I find brotheled engine bays with China blue silicone hoses and shiny shit gay.

Give it a few years, you'll cave :)

Pointless I reckon unless your competing of course and have a box worth more than your car holding it all together.

Besides when cops defect your gate, you'll probably cave and put twins back on.

Thought this might be interesting and on topic. Advan Time attack R34 using -5 low mounts and an RB30 block with ALL the trimmings. 440kw..

WOW! Heck of a build!

Def would have gone single though on that build.

Looks like it's on an American hub dyno, should make close to 2000hp out of the factory

I've actually NEVER seen an American hub dyno in person!

This being said, I have personally seen skewed dyno numbers at a roller dyno before where the dyno was calibrated incorrectly. Some guy had a stock-ish 2013 gt500 and it supposedly made 625 or so RWHP which I thought was ridiculous. I was the next car inline for the dyno and when we put my old 1994 Twin turbo Supra on it (boost control and downpipe only - I mean it all other parts bone stock down to the stock paper toyota filter) and it made 515 whp!! I told them something was WAY wrong and they recalibrated and my car did 366 whp which is WAY more on target. The Mustang guy, on the other hand, bragged for months about his being the highest stock GT500 in the country...I lol'd.

I agree - we will have dyno numbers coupled with Haltech logs from my car (street pulls in let's say 4th gear) which is a great indicator of available horsepower soon enough. A log with time v velocity should be a pretty universal comparison assuming it's the same gearing and tire diameters. Heck I'd even film it and give a GPS speed if that would help.

Its a Mainline..... Straight from "down under".

Still have the dyno builder here setting it up.

hub dynos read high anyway and as we've said they are going to put the American program in it to match up with your dynos 170F170C-5AAD-4254-AABB-AADBC25AF89D.jpg

on our dynos you would not even make your 366whp with that car, to be honest you'd probably be getting closer to 300

    • 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.
