nice man!

ever though about Plazmaman intercooler piping kit? (I can do better prices than directly with Plaz)

https://plazmaman.com/shop_itemdetail.php?itemid=153&cate=73

I run the same kit on my car, however no BOV at all.

In terms of plugs, try these guys:

or eBay US

Does a whole have to be cut to pass that piping through John?

yeah unfortunately, goes through the same hole as most kits.. however the best parts are the piping is shorter and there is no need to trim the fan blades

Soo I hit 140k on the clock the other day! Unfortunately no birthday presents.... Because I'm still waiting on my f**********n manifold..... After 5 f**kin weeks..... I went through Torqueline Garage because CRG had so eftpos facility (wtf?) and apparently there has been a "bank error" and CRG haven't received the money from Torqueline, so CRG haven't sent it out yet! Mega pissed.... I know it'll be worth it when I have it but 5 weeks for a manifold is ridiculous...

Quick snap from the other day. I just checked and didn't update that I plastidipped my wheels! Just did it so I could get an idea of what colour I wanted to get them powder coated/painted.

Not much else is happening atm, but when my mani gets here it's full steam ahead! I have ordered my Walbro 460 E85 pump and Tomei reg so hopefully they get in soon, then Rail and Injectors once the mani and turbo are sitting on the car.

Woooooo! Mani finally turned up this morning :D

No the other plate isn't missing, just forgot to take the pic.

Gotta get the gate vband welded on then take it down to be ceramic coated and get the dump made to suit :)

Bit of an update, have just been enjoying driving the 33 around after I installed my clutch! 

Picked up a new head unit CHEAP and got that going.. Just need a decent set of speakers and an underseat sub and I'll be happy. 

IMG_20160815_13814_zpswla8brft.jpg

 

Also got a 3" high flow cat installed last week. Noticed a bit smoother power delivery compared to the stock one. 

IMG_20160815_1375_zpsmzjsqup4.jpg?147125

Picked up the rest of my fuel system last week. Raceworks 1000cc EV14s, HFPF Fuel Rail and clips to suit new injectors. 

IMG_20160815_13587_zpsxdquouwl.jpg

These bad boys turned up this morning from NISTUNE! HPX MAF, Air Straightener, Flex Fuel Sensor and all the wiring and boards to suit!

IMG_20160815_12106_zpsujaifdyx.jpg?14712

New Exhaust Gaskets..

IMG_20160815_13335_zpswyrvcdgs.jpg?14712

So today I pulled the stock turbo and manifold off and threw on the new high mount setup! Goes down to the shop tomorrow to get the gate flange welded one and also dump pipe made up. 

Stock turb vs New one :D

Pulled the injectors out today as well and attempted to install my new 1000cc's and Fuel rail. Ran into a clearance problem with the top bung on the stock manifold. Waiting to hear back to see whether I change rails or not. 

IMG_20160815_12856_zpspatjvspz.jpg?14712

Yeah ran into that issue haha.... Swapping it for a raceworks rail. Hopefully pick it up today or tomorrow morning and wack the injectors in. Gotta go grab some fittings and hose to run the fuel lines to the new rail.

She's down the shop atm for dump and gate, will be done this arvo sometime. 

Once the rail's in it'll be down to the tuner to get my intake and intercooler piping done and flex wiring and shit then flex tune!

Picked her up yesterday from Rob Bliss! Super stoked with the new dump setup! Bit devo they didn't use v-band clamps for the removable screamer but oh well. 

Swapping fuel rail for a raceworks one, pick it up sometime this morning so hopefully get that all installed today and go get some lines and fittings and hook it all up with the flex sensor.

IMG_20160817_10671_zps5e32jzaq.jpg

Picked up my Raceworks fuel rail today, will get cracking on that tomorrow morning.. Decided to go down and grab some intercooler piping today and this happened! 

IMG_20160817_20313_zpsdtskwfjv.jpg

 

Took it down to a fabricator and got it welded up! Had to turn the rocker breather things around 180* and it cleared perfectly :D Not bad for $145 and a couple hours. Just have to get a bit of pipe and get it welded on for the hose going to the IAC. Intake is a bit shit to fit it with the fuel canister there and pod hits slightly on back of headlight.

mate I'm totally guttered you're not going with a forward facing plenum and 3' piping!

it'd look so much neater and you'd have no clearance issues with your injectors!

also just a side note - the tomei FPR isn't supposed to work with E85, the diaphragm inside it will eventually eat away, I found this out when the sales rep from Tomei told me while i was over in Japan on holidays, so i switched out to a turbo smart FPR.

Yeah I don't see any point going for one except for cleaning the engine bay up or going for BIG power.

I shouldn't have any clearance issues with the raceworks rail...

Fair enough, see how it goes i guess. Will mostly be running 98 anyway unless I'm heading down to the track or cruising.

Yeah it's all happening pretty fast! So keen to get it back on the street!

Quick update, picked up my intake today from welder.

Swapped my 3/4 injectors for some 1/2 size Xspurt 1000cc's which got the job done. Had to cut the spacers and bolts down to suit the 1/2 size injectors.

Cheers fellas, bit more progress! Yesterday all my hose clamps turned up so started putting a few of those on. I got my exhaust gaskets on and oil lines in! Tomorrow I have to pop the water lines in and that's complete! Got the fuel system all plumbed in today, decided to just do it properly the first time and get a Turbosmart FPR800. Rearranged a few things to fit the flex sensor down there. Pretty happy with how its sitting atm! Few more days and she should be all ready to go down to the tuner! 

Will grab some better pics tomorrow during the day.

Small update, turbos all plumbed up. Had a slight leak on the fuel rail fittings, got some teflon washers for them yesterday and it fixed the leak :D 

So today pretty much everything is hooked up now. It's going down to the tuner tomorrow to have hotside piping, install fuel pump, HPX MAF Wiring and then FLEX TUNE TIME!! 

Depending how much this costs me might lower her a bit more and get a wheel alignment before Downshift circuit and coffee on Saturday morning.

    • 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.
